ok my face is disgusting. Long day of no sleep and no makeup. Whatever, get over it.
IM DEPRESSED. iPhone screen broken for the SECOND TIME.
And this time, its only shattered at the top, which is convenient cause atleast it wont shred my fingers. But if i try and put it to my ear it will CUT ME UP, like an angry gangster.
I'm not putting another dime into this phone. iPhone 4, somehow lets think of a miracle so i can get you.
depressssssssing. And now i get to be the weirdy that is walking around with my handsfree earpiece when my hands are perfectly capable of holding my phone to my ear. UGH.
Was Chantal O's parents house a little bit gaudy to anyone else? It looked like the set of a Soap Opera.
And what was with her dad showing Brad that statue? SO STRANGE. "this statue represents how rich we are" DISGUSTING.
Chantal, if you come from so much money...maybe invest in a stylist. There is no reason to wear so many burn-out tshirts and satin maternity dresses.
How awkward was Brad at Emily's house? I know he was trying to be so sweet and everything, and i guess that was cute... but the second she gave him the green light and the weird "uhhhok" he should have explained himself And then gave her what she wanted, which was a make out on that couch.

If i had 3 wishes they would be 1. to have ChantalO's parents money 2. to have a face and body transplant of Emily 3. to have all of Emilys clothes.
Our 'Winter Carnevale' ward activity was last night and I was in charge of decorations.
Last year i made about a million tissue paper pom poms, and i wanted to kill myself. So this year I decided to make things a little bit easier.
The concept I came up with was to make the feel of the activity similar to that of the end of the night at the Mardi Gras parade. Trashed, a little bit wilted...but of course, sober.
My main concern was the chandelier that would dangle above the Dixie band. So with a base built of PVC pipes and rope, we covered it with garlands, tinsel, balloons, lanterns and crap. I was too sick to attend the party, but it looks like it all came together great.
Now can I be done with the activities committee yet?
Last night after my Valentine's date, I met up with my girlfriends to watch the Bachelor.
We decided before starting it, we would make a quick run over to Magnolia Bakery for some Banana Pudding.Seriously the stuff is from heaven. Anyway, we weren't the only ones with this idea. It was basically 9pm on the dot, and they were closing up shop....and in walks Adam Sandler and his wife and daughter.
Now, i have met quite a few celebrities since I moved to LA because of my profession and everything, but this one I was excited about.
He left his wife and daughter in the bakery to pick out their treats while he went outside and waited next to their Cadillac.
Us girls, played it cool...walking out of Magnolia with our pudding and acted like we didn't see him and just kept walking to our car parked a few cars in front of his on the street. As we were like 10 feet away, with our backs to him, we hear in his very well known voice "Ladies....what you got there? Ice cream?" to which we respond nonchalantly "no, banana pudding, its delicious." And he then says "I'll have to try that...have a good night" He totally sought us out. Even strangers dont do that.
love that guy.Anytime you want advice from me on what dessert to try, Adam, let me know.
on the way home we all started laughing as we realized he was probably making fun of 4 girls with what looked like pints of ice cream, at 9pm on Valentines day. Pathetic.
My friend Amanda posted on twitter something like "who wants sugar cookies?" and duh, i responded. Just checked the mail, two delicious conversation heart cookies... Seriously folks, they were so good.
Everyone in my apartment has the stomach flu. Awesome. It better not get me...I have a date with the Price is Right tomorrow.
Got another small gold necklace today from Saylor Rose! a little heart. just in time for valentines. Check out how cute their packaging is...
Working on a project tonight, that I am really excited about and hope goes well.
My creative juices have been flowing lately and I am so glad. I had been in a funk for too long I did this headboard for my friend Jen last week and it really kick started my artsy hands.
Remember when people used to say "Sup?" Weird. Glad that phased out.
The Superbowl was yesterday, and who the hell cares? Not me.
I didn't really watch it, and neither did my friends... exhibit A & B ok so maybe April was the only one watching at this point.
I did love all the delicious food, and mostly I loved the delicious food I made. Here they are folks, Pesto MargheritaTartlets. (thats the fancy way of saying mini pizzas)
They are so easy to make. I made them last year for the Superbowl and they were a hit so i resurrected them again, and again, they were a hit. TARTLETS NEVER FAIL.
Here are the instructions: Set oven to 400 -Mini Pitas (i got mine at Trader Joe's) -Pesto (store bought, also from TJ's) -heirloom tomatoes -fresh basil -mozzarella assemble your little guys and pop them on a cookie sheet and into the oven until the cheese melts About 8 minutes.
THEY ARE SO GOOD I WISH I HAD SOME NOW.
...or any of the delicious food from the spread
just so we are all clear, i am maxed out for the month on group parties. Too many people, i need a break.
Saturday we braved the chinese crowd, and went right into the heart of Chinatown for THE CHINESE NEW YEAR PARADE! It was chaotic and fun, and we had deliciously gross and greasy and dirty chinese food. it was more fun than i thought it was going to be everyone was all smiles, and so was i, once i got myself a diet coke. Lots of confetti, lots of people and lots of fun.
But its this janky thing.Which is fine, because its not like I am going to start mass printing anything. Mainly I got it for my business cards and some invitations to some of the parties i am working on.
I haven't used it yet, because the plates that it comes with are pretty craptastic, not to mention, ugly... So i'm waiting for my first custom plate to arrive.
I've got about an hour to kill here in Vegas at my sisters before i have to leave for the airport, so here is a brain dump for ya.
-For Christmas I got my nephews UDraw for the Wii. Well, it was a bust and super boring, so they took it back for a Kinect game. WAY BETTER.
Dance Central for Xbox=So fun. Also exhausting. The boys love it, and its hilarious cause they know all the words to these songs. Including Coleman.
-I have been here since Wednesday and have only worn makeup for 2 days. AWESOME TOWN.
-I did Megan's eyelashes last night and when she went in the bathroom she said "HOW DO YOU DO THESE SO GOOD?!" Just a little testimonial for ya. She does eyelashes too, so she gets it.
-I have major iPhone 4 envy.
-My testimony of Zappos grows stronger daily. Seriously you guys, if you don't shop through Zappos, you are a fool. Free shipping and you don't even have to leave your house. They sell more than just shoes. Clothes, makeup...i mean, its my dream come true.
-Jack lost his first tooth today. And he finished his first chapter book last night. WEIRD. Hes a kid.
-The Bachelor is easily my favorite show. Why is it only 2 hours? I would be perfectly fine watching 4 hour episodes of that show every week.
-I won an ebay auction for a Letterpress last week. This makes me more excited than anything else. I have about a million things I want to letterpress. Xpedx is going to know me by name, soon enough. I've been dreaming of thick cotton paper.
-Girl Scout cookies are SO good. 'Tis the season for thin mints.
-I think I'm going to start offering a different kind of portrait on little shop of shavs so stay tuned for that. Not to mention i think im going to start posting more over there OTHER than paintings. Kind of a lifestyle craft/design feel. We'll see.
I guess I'll go pack my stuff now. See you soon, LA.
