Merry Christmas

Love Tone Tone, E-Train, and Buster

If you go to San Francisco

We did not wear flowers in our hair but we did lots of eating, shopping, and sightseeing. Me and Tone went with his parents up to San Fran for Thanksgiving so see Randy's family. We had tons of fun and I definitely got into the Christmas Spirit. Everything was decorated and it was cold. So fun! We were so spoiled by Tone's parents :) My family had Thanksgiving on Sunday so we got to eat lots of good food. And we even had some visitors- BFF#1 1/2 Cool Trish and Rusky! Yay we love them! And me and Tone got our Christmas tree but I will post pictures of that later.

Happy Holidays

This goes out to a very special K

I haven't had much to blog about lately plus I only like blogs with pictures and since my camera is out of batteries I have been sans pics for the blog. But here is one

I get to house sit all week at this faboo location. My parents are in Guatemala helping poor people ( apparently they know a few) so I get to hang out here with this guy

He said he like this picture better though

Cutest puppy ever. He still has a room mate mo mo for now, so since I am house sitting I get to have 3 dogs plus tone in my bed- no room for me! If I try to put one on the ground it turns into a big dog fight, they all demand equal rights and attention. Its pretty entertaining. Luckily, I have been busy this week because my lovely business is getting busy! Husbands, if you are looking for that perfect gift for your wife, a facial or a massage with me will guarantee a big smile from your wife. And I'm cheap. And I'm good. (not to toot my own horn or anything)  Speaking of Christmas does anyone have any good ideas for gifts? I found the PERFECT gift for my dad and a pretty freakin good one for Jose but I'm kind of stuck on everyone else. Even though its 80 degrees here I am trying to get in the Christmas mood. 1st step festive food- check, I've eaten every typw of pumpkin food possible in the last month. 2nd step- festive clothing- check a lovely reindeer shirt courtesy of J crew and mums closet :)

3rd step- festive music. mannheim and snowed in will be in full rotation soon (much to Tone' dismay) Yay! In other news, we will be spending Thanksgiving and San Fran so I will make sure to charge up my camera and take some sweet pics while I am there. Long post I know, if you made it through the whole thing you win a prize.

Dear Perez,

Your endless blogs about prop 8 are getting really old. The people voted and you lost- get over it! Since you are all about intolerance these days and boycotting people who voted yes I am boycotting you.

Peace out fat tranny,

Erika

PS- Popeater is better, so is go fug yourself, you should take notes and stop being so annoying

Dear Surfing,

Our hotel had these really cool big Mayan statues when you walked in

Yeen was really excited about our suite.

Dear Blog,

I'm back and to be perfectly honest I didn't miss you that much.

Dear wedding weekend,

You were hectic and crazy but also lots of fun!!

Dear New Episodes of Gossip Girl,

So much scandal I can hardly handle. Monday is def the best day of my week.

Dear September Birthday,

You snuck up on me so quickly, but that is not to say I haven't been thinking about what I want :) For those who need it here is the beginnings of my b-day wish list:

these lovelies or these

• Philosophy "Falling in Love" Body wash and Lotion
• Gift cards to Anthro, Nordstrom, JCrew, Sephora, etc.
• Season 1 DVDs of Gossip Girl
• Anything from Blissworld.com
  
• 

Thats all I can think of for now.

Dear Tone,

If cleanliness is next to godliness then I feel like I am living in sin. Clean the effing bathroom.

Dear July 19,

Dear Long Awaited Arrival,

It was love at first sight, even if the delivery guys made me wait 5 hours for you. I promise not to keep you lonely for too much longer.

So happy together...

Dear 18 miles,

My feet hurt

Dear Mustached BFF,

Dear Guilty Pleasures,

I am adding the Gossip Girl and It Girl books to my list. While perusing for books to read by the pool in Vegas I discovered that these books that I'm really into right now are intended for a 9-12 year old reading level. That being said I plan to buy the whole series.

xoxo,

guilty as charged

Dear girl with the short hair,

reasons to smile? it's sunny, tone is out of school, and I'm going to Vegas next weekend
season of choice? summer becaue it's hot and laid back but I also really really love the beginning of fall when you are sick of the heat and can finally pull out your fall clothes
tag 3 people: tone, sarah, and ashley g :)
unknown fact about me: I'm pretty open so there is probably not a fact about me that I haven't blabbed at some point...I peed in my boots when I was 5
vegetable? zucchini
worst habit? I have ZERO patience, I'm bossy,  and in case you couldn't tell by this post I'm pretty indecisive,
x-ray or ultrasounds? weird question, i've only ever had x-rays
your favorite food? BBQ chicken salad, quesadillas, and golden spoon
zodiac sign? virgo
the end.

xoxo,

Dear Indecisiveness,

I have been experiencing you a lot lately. Most recently in my decision to purchase some furniture at Anthro, specifically a new chair. No, it was not hard to decide that I wanted to buy the chair and coordinating accessories. It was once I saw the adorable array of choices that full indecisiveness set in. I finally decided which style of chair I want but I can't decide on the fabric and accessories or what would look better with my couch.  So I'm putting up our two favorites for a vote. 

The scarlet dahlia tropical print chair with the mediterranean style lamp shade...

OR the whimsical snapdragon printed chair with the cute yellow shade...

This morning I was leaning towards one, now I'm leaning towards the other, who knows where I will be tomorrow. So please post your opinion in my comments so that I can stop vacillating and start ordering.

xoxo,

the confused decorator
