it's all happening

today i brought back the side pony.
paid off my car (wahoo!)
ate a chicken pot pie.
and stared adoringly at my new birthday wallet.

pretty good day all in all.

this is what 31 looks like

and this is the getty:



and this is my bed and my clock:


and these are the gardens:




as always the gardens were my favorite. i love to walk around and relish in all the beautiful things that grow in this crazy town. we even saw deer, like 50 feet away from the freeway. it's odd, this place. very odd. but...there is something to it.

sunday brunch

i love sunday brunch more then i love my luggage. last sunday went out with a friend in eagle rock and had a supremely good time. this is what i had:

i don't really even know what it was, some apple, sweet potato and cheddar deliciousness. note the egg whites (cholesterol), but let's be honest- i didn't really eat them.
then we walked around the neighborhood and dreamed of homes to buy. and i found these garbage cans!



way to be cool eagle rock.

fact: i hate cereal, oatmeal is cereal.

got a call from my doctor yesterday who was calling about my lab results. apparently i have ridiculously high cholesterol. my LBL's are at 211 and she told me they should be under 99. oops! so she's giving me three months to get it down on my own or else i have to go on medication, which i really don't want to do. so for the next three months of my life i'm am having a serious relationship with oatmeal.

here's to the first day of the rest of my life!

it's my birthday

and i had a great, great day! i heard from so many of my friends via facebook or text or phone and it made me feel real loved and real special. i went to breakfast, got a pedicure, bought a new dress, went to dinner! thanks to my besties katre, jim and katie especially for a great day and making me feel special. full of love tonight this first day of 2010 and my 31st year!
