It's a beauitful day in the neighborhood...

I love my neighborhood.
I live in Westwood.
Home of movie premieres, UCLA and less bums than the rest of LA.

Today was such a nice day, so I went on a run.
After my run, I decided to take some pictures of my neighborhood.

Picture overload...get ready.

Disney Birthdays!

Yesterday I got to spend the day at Disneyland with one of my dear friends for his 32nd birthday.
(how did i get old enough to have friends that are in their 30's?)

Brandon was my next door neighbor in Provo, when i was 21...he was 26.

you like my dead eyes?

Ty, Brandon and I headed down to Orange County for a day of fun, only to meet this gem of a lady on the tram ride into the park.

She was wearing bride ears WITH A VEIL and she had no man by her side wearing the Mickey ears with the tophat.
She was alone.
Part of me wanted to cheer her on but the other part of me just kept thinking "what the weird?"

We got reservations to eat lunch at the Blue Bayou in the Pirates ride.
I've been to Disneyland a bajillion times but had never done this place, and it was so fun and magical!

Isn't Brandon so handsome?

Ended the day at Grizzly Rapids...we weren't planning on leaving the park at 3...but....
we got soaked.

Brandon and I, pre-soak


Happy Birthday, you old man!

iPhone Braindump

I have a lot of stupid pictures on my phone and what else am i going to do with them?
Might as well blog them.

The first time I facetimed, it was with Casey. I was videochatting with Lindsey at the same time, and so we videochatted and facetimed all at once and IT WAS THE FUTURE
I made Sliders.
Like i literally made them by getting ground beef and adding onions and seasoning to it and shaping patties.
I have never shaped patties before and I sort of wanted to throw up.
But they were GOOD.
For work i took a vehicle to a place to have a car seat reinstalled.
This woman did it, it took about 15 minutes, and this was my view for the entire 15 minutes. LOVELY.
This neighborhood "Beverly Park" has 2 gates. 2 guarded gates.
Its insane.
Its the neighborhood that Lisa Vanderpump and Adrianne Malhoof from Real Housewives live.
Denzel Washington, Magic Johnson and Tim McGraw and Faith Hill live here too.
You'll probably never get inside. And i probably saw it for the first and last time, so don't feel so bad.
They took a copy of my drivers license and took my picture. IT WAS STUPID.
I love the trees in Sherman Oaks
Did you see the jersey shore episode where Pauly D made fun of Dina's full on denim outfit?
I died laughing.
Next day i was driving in Van Nuys and spotted a denim disaster.
This woman was dragging this baby through Panda Express in a high chair.
I think she didn't want to hold him, thought this would be easier.
There was no way it was easier...but i think she was just committed.
I hate these lights on cars that flip up. So 80's.
So "Brave Little Toaster"
Reunion dinner with Mallory (hadn't seen her since we were 19!) at Javier's in Newport.
No picture with Mallory. Also not pictured at dinner with us: Nicole, Adam or baby Evie.
Oh man shes cute.
Basil with a side of Tortellini.
Birthday dinner at the french restaurant, Figaro, with Jasey.
Self portrait which i am usually 100% against, but i looked pretty this day and i wanted to photograph my new middle part styling.
(i will never get over how much i love my vintage Armani tortoise shell glasses)
Middle part again...Megan and I at wicked.
Favorite new nail polish color.
Essie Merino Cool.
Jen gave it to me for my birthday.
This was the day it was 88 degrees out. OH MAN I LOVE LA WEATHER.
Can't say it enough.
Lindsey and I went to Cafe Rio for dinner the other night, this guy was on his cell phone the whole time....didn't need to stop to put his phone down to eat because he wore those BIG ASS headphones to keep it in place.
Poor mans blue tooth.
Jasey and I were talking the other night about my art skills. I realized i haven't really done anything technical outside of the paintings i sell. He challenged me to draw something in detail so I drew him. I never finished it, but it made me feel good that i could still draw a human face with a number 2 pencil.
Even though I drew a chinstrap (i did finish the beard later) he doesn't have one.
Smallest little teensy car spotted on Sunset Blvd.
Cheapest gas by my house $4.19 ROBBERY
When i go to a dinner party with people who drink, I like to bring them something for their wine bar...its the polite thing to do since they are feeding me, and because I am usually bringing myself a Diet Coke for myself.
I don't know a thing about wine so I buy the bottles with the labels i like.
My first Bananas Foster...SO GOOD
homeless guy walking AS SLOW AS POSSIBLE totally in the middle of the street.
We are talking, a busy road. 3rd street. DANGEROUS.

the end.

Laura Jansen - The Real Deal

I'm sure you have probably guessed that I am no longer dating that one boy, Jasey.
He hasn't been on the blog in a while so it's pretty obvious.

But everyone, its fine. We are friends!
Like really good friends. For my birthday he even got me (and my sister) tickets to go see Wicked.
POST BREAKUP.
Nice, right?

It seems like I may be spoiled more now that he's not my boyfriend, than before, when he was.
(Not that he wasn't fantastic, he did totally spoil me when we were dating)

Saturday night was a fancy french restaurant (for my birthday), last night was Wicked, and tonight was Laura Jansen at Hotel Cafe.
laurajansen
oh my gosh you guys, she is the cutest more adorable, loveliest gal.

Jasey is a friend of hers, just finished the illustration of her tshirt even.
So tonight we went to her show.

Stop everything you are doing and watch these videos.



ISN'T SHE ADORABLE?!

Dunphie's are my neighbor

I'm a total dork. Today I got a hold of the Modern Family addresses, and they are pretty close to me (well the Dunphies, and Mitch and Cam)...and it was such a nice day and i was out already to grab lunch so i just decided to take a jaunt over to their houses.

You know, see if Haley needed any tutoring or if Lily needed a babysitter.

I have really great friends

Tonight my best friends here in LA took me out for dinner to Casa Vega in Sherman Oaks.

Aren't they all such dolls?

We then made our way to Magnolia in Beverly Hills for some banana pudding.
It never disappoints.

It was the perfect night. Just what I needed.

I love these girls.

bi-WINNING!

I ran into Mr Sheen and one of the Godesses today.
He was outside of his house smoking.

it took everything in my power to not yell out the window "WINNING!"

Did you guys see the interviews?
I can't even handle it.
Its so sad...but its so freaking funny.

Duh. Winning!
