3:45am

I'm a young lady who acts like an old lady.

This must be the latest I've been out and about all year. I feel like I should get a gold star or a ribbon for functioning after my 11 o'clock bed time.

GO ME! Oh YA!

Anyways......I love my friends, Denny's, and my cozy bed I'm about to sleep in!

Sweet Dreams, dear friends!

Nom Nom

Matt and I like to get our farmer's market on by chandelier light. In Glendale there is beautiful outdoor mall that turns their trolley route into a red tent lined market on Saturdays. Matt and I get way too excited when we see samples, eat 10 too many, feel bad, and over spend to compensate. I swear we are going to eating 2 foot long carrots and hummus all week.

Monster veggies, check!

Fresh fruit juice, two please!

Lunch time greatness and 12 napkins later.

Me giggling after tricking Matt into going to Anthropologie.

Matt-" Hey, Hey, I didn't sign up for this"

Jessica-"This is the eternity you signed up for"

Matt-"What?"

Jessica-"You're marrying me, welcome to the rest of your shopping life honey"

SF

Cardi- Halogen, Skirt- Winter Kate, Tank- sample sale $2, Satchel- Kate Spade, and boots $5!

I saved these booties from a clearance bin in San Francisco five years ago! In my teens San Francisco was nearly a second home, I miss it.

Flash back to circa 2006, I had to log on to Myspace for these.

Cruising the Golden Gate

I love looking at old pictures and being reminded of where I've been and where I want to go. Before I die, I hope I'll have the courage to ditch my car and voyage across by foot. I'm planning a road trip this summer so it could happen much sooner than later!

POP!

Falling in love and getting to eat that love is the best way to describe these, so glamours right? On Sunday, I decided to round up my favorite ladies and officially ask them to be in my wedding! All these girls are very dear to me and I'm honored to call them true friends and family.

Inside the cards the I wrote "Now it's my turn to POP the question, will you be my bridesmaid/maid honor?"

I carried the POP theme from the cards to the champagne and Ring pops. This is just one of many fun gatherings to come, so I hope you, dear reader, are ready for all things wedding all the time!

Party of one

I have officially dined alone for the first time. My life has been in over drive and all I wanted this morning was a big juicy meal. To make myself feel better about the situation I'm going to call it a victory meal. This morning I contested a grade I felt I was low balled on and WON! Goodbye C, hello B!!! I decided to go to Denny's since they welcome lone rangers and have single bar sitting. My meal was fantasic, I didn't feel as awkard as I thought and a fellow lone ranger shared his newpaper with me:)

Happy Tuesday!

Hey Joey!

On Saturday night some of my ladies happened to be in my part of LA and we decided to our shimmy shake on. When we entered the club a group of five guys immediately danced their way over to us. Despite being three very taken women, we welcomed their company because one of them looked exactly like Joey Fatone from NSYNC! We couldn't help making jokes and asking when Justin and the rest of the boys would be showing up. Shortly after they spilt and we continued our Dane Cook, no men, I just want to dance session!

An hour later the boys danced their way back to us. The Joey look a-like claimed he had found the unthinkable, a person who looked more like Joey than him! We followed him through the crowds and sure enough we weren't disappointed! Together with the old Joey we approached the new Joey for a photo but with the level of noise he didn't seem to understand what we were asking. Our attempt failed but we still have the picture below to prove our efforts. See those side burns and that crazy girl? Haha!

Back in the swing of things

(Heels-Target, Necklace- Brass Plum, Dress and Cardi- Nordies)

Its been many moons since I've felt well enough to comb my hair or wear cute clothes.

Here is a few tidbits from my week:

Cravings

 Question for you, my dear reader: Does registering a 100+ degree temperature excuse going to 7-Eleven in heart printed boxers, your man's shirt, fancy flats, and a zebra blanket? Yeah, I think so too. My scary, sniffling, sick self was craving cherry slurpees and I would not let anything get in the way, especially my appearance. I may not be a doctor, but I'd like to think that sugar treat was what helped me beat the feverish heat.

Crazy Town

While driving I saw a car with its back window completely covered by a sticker that said "Fuck Love" I had to catch up, I had to see the person who felt so "expressive"... and to my amazement there was 30 something year old male dancing like it was going out of style. I felt like he was sending a message, like "Hey world, she stole my heart, but she can never steal my spirit!" A broken-hearted Braveheart, if you will.

He told you

A movie is being filmed in the courtyard of Matt's building. Matt nearly got in an altercation with one of their PR people who thought he was a misplaced extra. Instead of allowing him to explain, Mr. Big Shot poked at Matt (get your hands off my man) and he got in his face about how they didn't need him quite yet and this wasn't his scene. Matt finally had to speak over him and say "I'm not an actor! This is my real life and real clothes, I work here! Get out of my face!" As Matt walked off the whole crew broke into ohhhhs and dangs!

Fancy Halls

I've come across many inspirational fortune cookies but never a second look-worthy cough drop. Until now. Halls is crossing into fortune land by including quotes like "Together we can do this", "One drop at a time", "Give yourself a high-five", and "You can't be beat" on their wrappers. I dig it.

I'm excited for a healthy and happy weekend, the END:)

Dinner Club

Dinner club: an excuse for us ladies to assemble monthly, chit chat, and eat yummy food!  

Monday was our first official meeting at Kentro Greek Kitchen (Atmosphere and food are absolutely tops) and to my amazament there was gifts, balloons, and cupcakes waiting for me!

Thanks again Candice for whipping up these beauties!

I devoured one cupcake on the spot and have been rationing the leftovers out like scarce resources for breakfast each morning.

Hey, I like what I like:)

To my dear friends:

Many thanks for all your constant support and love over the years.

 You really know how to make a gal feel special.

A bag to describe my eating habits and a passport cover to represent my future status.

Hey Payday, where are you?
