I HAVE INTERNET AGAIN! It's been a crazy couple of weeks. Felt disconnected from the universe but also liberated. Life's been really crazy, busy, stressful. It's been lots of fun too but it's mostly work week=overwhelming and weekend=ridiculous fun. I've had no time to catch up. NEED SLEEP. 

Here's some Nov/Dec scenes.

Thanksgiving....made an amazing sweet potato ap that is SO EASY to substitute

&is soo delish. Also a pic of me & the 2 eldest gals on my dad's side, Diana &Jessica. 

went to a holiday party at a spa my mom&sis go to...we all got free massages, Lisa got a facial &I

got a fancy-shmancy treatment I will not blog about ;) Also, Lise, her bff & I celebrating her bday.

went to a rockin' christmas party w/my gals w/some special peeps...

FINALLY saw Edward Sharpe & the magnetic zeros...sooooo good live.

also saw Florence & The Black Keys (@kroq almost acoustic christmas) thanks to my sis :)

got to hang backstage, met Jim Halpert my dream bf & got a pic with the Black Keys guys (!!!)

Last note, stopped by the mall with Dad & Lisa and Old Navy's got some deals going on! Got some long sleeved tops since my wardrobe is seriously lacking in anything warm. (most of it is still in the NJ apt) these tops were cute and only $8 instore! They don't have the cute colors or special online. Although, I am glad I looked because my sister and I both want this techno hoodie and it's only $15 online! The hoodie cord is IPOD HEADPHONES! Love it, although, of course, the color I want is not online. Oh life!

edit......

just tried on the tops.I'm returning the white/pink 

one & getting a fleece sweater they had for   $10!

I can't believe it. A week til Christmas & two weeks til this crazy year is over. It's been a huge year. I am still reeling from everything that's happened, good and bad. The last few weeks have been rough for me because I'm so tired but I do appreciate that that's a good thing. 

Mini panic, I can't figure out what to do for New Years. I really want to go to Arizona to see RX Bandits, but I know I won't be able to talk my girlfriends into it. Is it worth it??? Maybe!

HAVE A BEAUTIFUL WEEKEND! :)

Belated love

Two of my (fabulous!) besties in the whole wide world were born three days (and one year, but who's counting?!) apart! Their special days just graced us (Thursday and Sunday) but I think it's still safe to give them a special shout out :)

I met Holly in 2002 at a wild party ;) and we've had many many good times from then to now... unfortch, the ooold pics I had were on a computer that was stolen :( But we have a good amount to compensate, and those memories will never fade :) She is my fashionista go-to gal, like the older sister that I can always count on. I love her dearly! 

We added to our little party in 2006 when we met Shannon in Memphis through another friend. Everyone was ready to crash by the time we got to the hotel and we were bouncing off the walls. We asked Shannon if she wanted to come out to the bars with us and by 4am we were attached at the hip. Those 3 days were some of the best of my life and memories I will treasure for a lifetime.

Shannon is my heart, my shining light... my confidant. She always makes me feel better, we take the bad and laugh at it. We fight through the shit and are real with each other. Our friendship is honest and pure, no secrets, no bullshit. I am very lucky and happy to have her and Holly in my life!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY BABES! I love and miss you both!

Wish we lived much much closer, but here's to seeing each other SOON! xoxoxo
