Starbucks Lover

Well since the Christmas Holiday spirit is kicking in for me (Official this Friday!) I've gotten the following items for Starbucks:

- The latte ornaments (Early Gift from my mom)
- Christmas Blend Coffees
- I've got a new Starbucks card...the cute blue snowflake one..

Then on my way up to a meeting with a co-worker today we were listening to Christmas music on 94.5 and it so got me in the mood!

So this Friday I am officially starting the Christmas decorations and will be working on my X-mas cards. Hmmmm...I might even have to take a trip to Starbucks and purchase the Snow Globe. Since that is other "new" thing I'm doing during the holiday seasons.

Wine Lovers

On Saturday me, my mom, grandma, and 3 of my aunties took a day trip to Napa. We rented a limo and with that we went to five wineries.

1. Robert Mondavi (MY FAVORITE WINE)
2. Beringer - That one was kind of boring. My mom kept calling it the 7-11 winery!
3. Merryvale - Nice, but expensive
4. V, Sattui - Our favorite. It was cute, the people were nice and my mom kept flirting with Bob!
5. Peju - This one was a little snotty. You had to know everything about wine and look like a million dollars.

For lunch we went to a resturant called Martini House which was so elegant and expensive, but my grandma being sweet that she is treated us all to lunch. All in all we had such a wonderful time.

For Alex's upcoming b-day and Valentine's since its two days apart I'm taking him to Napa. He is all jazzed about it!

Happy Thanksgiving

Well today is starting off right! I just finished baking a Pumkin and Banana bread and they both look and smell so yummy! I baked one for my parents dinner and my in-laws dinner.

I'm thankful today for my family, friends, and Alex.

Happy Thanksgiving to you all!

Day 2 - Accomplished

Well I spent most of my day at school. I got alot of upcoming assignments and projects done. Good news is I can just enjoy the last couple of weeks left and not stress so much about school. Bad news I have take finish my last unit of math this sememster! So I have to first take my quiz tomorrow..and I'm sort of prepared but I still have to go over a few things. Not going to stress about it, so I will just do the best that I can tomorrow and take it from there.

Gotta run and hit the books!

Vacation - Day 1

Again I've decided to take some much needed vacation from work.

Today started off as a usual Monday, got up and went to school. Then afterwards just came home did some scrapbooking and made a list of things to buy for the upcoming X_mas holiday. Mostly for my cards and some decorations. Soon after I went to my mom's and visited for awhile. Then around 3:30pm I was home and passed out on the couch and next thing I know its 5:30pm and its DARK outside. So here I am groggy, bored, and just waiting for tomorrow to be here. Not really sure why I am s bored. I thought I would be thrilled to not do nothing.

Tomorrow will be better though since I will be at school most of the day finishing up some last minute projects and homework.

Happy Birthday Brother!

Today is my lil brother's b-day. He turned 8 today. Being the good sister that I am I went over and bought him a cake and 2 b-day gifts. He really liked that fact that I came over on my day off (from babysiting) and spent the evening with him. Although he was a lil emotinal today he still seemed to enjoy the special moments.

I got him the Monster House dvd so as I was leaving, him and Victoria were watching it quietly.

This weekend is his b-day bash!

Borat

OH MY GOODNESS, this movie was so funny! Me and Alex saw it Saturday nite and it was the best spent Saturday in a long time.

If you have not seen this movie, it's a must. But I must warn you that if you take things personal and get offensive easily than it's not the movie for you. See for me I love movies like that where you can be honest. Since I am a pretty blunt person it is right up my alley. Alex, as well enjoyed the movie very much. It's worth buying too.

Calmness

Here is the card that I made for my friend, Jen.




Well nothing too excting has happened.

Except that this week and been so calm and stress free for me. I'm learning not to sweat the small stuff. It really seems to be working. I just figured you know people are going to be the way they are and the sad thing is they have to wake up every day with themselves being bitchy or "I know it all" attitude and I'm just glad that I can now wake up and cherish the day and not get so uptight and EMOTIONAL about those little things. Life is too short to sweat the small stuff.

Although this weekend is going to be jam packed. Friday night I have tutoring..I know kinda sucks, but I'm meeting my tutor, which is a friend of mine, at Panera Bread so I get to grab some yummy coffee and their french toast bagel. Aahh the little things in life that make my smile. =)
Saturday I'm FINALLY getting my haircut, have to run some errands for a bridal shower, make a card for the Bride-to-Be...I'll post afterwards. Then Saturday evening having date nite will Alex. We are due for one, so I think we might go see the movie Borat. Although I am not sure if he wants too.
Sunday is the bridal shower and I'm so excited! I have to say at first when I took the role as a bridesmaid I though "Oh no!', but come to find out she is an awesome bride and friend. Not a BRIDEZILLA! So the shower and all the events to occur will be fun!

I hope everyone else is having a nice week!

Tea Time

Today me and my friends went to Lisa's Tea Treasures in Santana Row. It turned out to be a hit! We all dressed up very girly, some of us including myself wore pearls, I gave out favors, and it was just fun!

We all had tea, cute petite sandwiches, and yummy desserts.

I would defintely go there again!
