xmas in LA

i'm back from xmas in L.A. it was pretty fun, got to see a lot of my family that i haven't seen in a long time. my step-nephews love me, i hope they think of me as the "fun aunt" hehe. of course crazy things had to happen too, it was so windy christmas eve that the power was out for our whole family dinner so we were walking around with candles & flashlights...kinda set a certain mood tho :D then on christmas day, the dogs started growling at a cat and then went nuts and started chasing each other and clawed grandma's leg, who started screeching. luckily the injury wasn't too bad and we got everything under control fast. for a second it seemed like i was in some wacky christmas comedy.

here is something i brought back from LA with me to commemorate the holidays.

hey, happy bday, self!

yeah its a little early, but i had my bday dinner on wednesday. i think pictures would describe the evening better than words could really...i think these about sum it up.

my favorite month

hi everyone! guess what. i have a cold! this sucks, because it's really bad timing... it's my favorite month, i am supposed to go on a date this week, we have our company xmas party on friday, and next week is my bday dinner... so i am loading up on the nyquil, dayquil, and zycam trying to get over this fast.

last weekend was pretty fun tho (before i came down with this biznatch) Raz and i went to the Ugly-con at the Giant Robot store which was an art show featuring Ugly dolls. we didn't realize there were gonna be so many kids there. so no scoring for tasha & raz... well it was fun anyways, the costumes were pretty funny.
what was really cool is that the store was selling dolls made by a friend of mine from school, anna chambers. i feel all special because i have a hand-made doll from her before she was rich & famous.
