Because every adult needs pillow cases with their faces on them.

thanks nat.

there might have been a sale on Special K...

I might have bought 35 boxes of it, came home and made it into a fort.

If You're In San Fran....

You should eat at Shalimar. It may be dirty, but it's dirty good. 

I know, I know

I've been a bad blogger.  Sorry. I only say sorry because I hate when other people are bad bloggers.  I went to Hailey's dance recital. I had NO idea how much I could love a straight faced, nervous little girl standing on a stage.  That's all for now, stay tuned. I will be back with a vengeance. Well, not really, but I'll probably be blogging more. 

We've been busy with really important christmas things...

Ho Ho Ho

There are a few things I really like about the holiday season. One of them is listening to this song on repeat, although semi depressing for a Christmas song, it is beautiful. I also REALLY enjoy when Bret and I exchange gifts. Here is a little sampling of things we have given to each other in years past:

2007
Bret for Whitney: a small branch like structure and an alarm clock
Whitney for Bret: socks and a gift certificate to a strange grocery store

2006
Bret for Whitney: a harmonica
Whitney for Bret: a cassette tape called "5 minute mysteries"

2005
We were broken up

2004
Bret for Whitney: a thermal shirt
Whitney for Bret: a pair of school shoes

The gifts Bret has given almost top the year that Lindsay gave me a frozen dessert cake for christmas (does anyone else remember Vienetta? I loved that stuff).

The picture is from Christmas 2007. This year our tree is the previously mentioned branch sculpture.

Thanksgiving Whirlwind

I wish I had pictures of Thanksgiving, but I don't. I was too busy jogging the turkey trot, loving Nevada City, chatting with my cousins and family, watching my Aunt and Uncle make a gourmet meal, and eating.

We spent the day at my cousins house in one of my favorite cities, ahem towns, in California. To see a not very good picture of Nevada City, click here.

Then we were off to Newport Beach to see this girl get married.



It was wonderful in every way. I have more pictures of this, but I don't look good in them, and who wants bad pictures of themselves posted on the internet? It turns out my home done hair cut doesn't look so good in pics. It was a whirlwind trip and we spent the night in three different locations in four days and drove for approximatly 22 hours. Our thanksgiving was wonderful though and over the course of the weekend I got to see some of the people I love most in this world.

12 year old asian

At 7:30am on Saturday I woke up and decided to get my fabric scissors out and give myself a haircut similar to what you would see on a 12 year old Asian. Or a lampshade.

Drum Roll Please

Food Tour 08'

Here is a collage dedicated to the food establishments we ate at on our 3 day tour of the South. We explored every type of fried food there is... fried green tomatoes, fried okra, fried chicken and waffles, you name it, we ate it. My question is, is do people in the South really eat that much fried chicken? Every where we went there were billboards for different fast food places and restaurants all advertising fried chicken. I think that was the most surprising thing of the trip, oh and that so many people smoke... did no one get the memo that cigarettes turn your teeth yellow, contaminate your lungs, and slowly kill you? There were entire families smoking, like teenagers and their parents.

Other than the cigs, everything about the trip was wonderful. The fall colors, the accents, the charming towns with incredible architecture, we loved every second of it. I'm still working on uploading the rest of the pics, because I know everyone is just dying to see just albums of me and b.
