techNOlogic.

seriously. the logic board on my computer went kaput. so my computer has been sent to houston, tx to be repaired, and hopefully it will meet me in seattle by the time i return. keep your fingers crossed!

downtown for the holidays.

with the help of some friends, i finally started to get into the christmas spirit yesterday:

• i received a fantastic (and delicious) surprise package in the mail from an old friend. 
• whitney and imri surprised me with delightful little somethings. seriously, so perfect on all levels.
• going ice skating at the seattle center with some really great friends.
• stood in awe of the "holiday" tree on top of the space needle (thank you seattle, for being so politically correct)
• egg nog and scones at bob's. 

now! time to go hop on a plane to texas, and spend these coming holidays with my family!!! ahhhh! i can't wait!!!!

stir it up.

as mentioned earlier, i spent this past weekend in ohio for gold's wedding. with bob marley as our soundtrack, here is what occurred:

best friends reunited at last.

typical troublemakers.

three mischievous bridesmaids with the bride and groom at the sangeet.

we were henna'd.

so official.

gold's the master dancer.

we know how to get down with it.

post temple. ang politely reminded me of how white i am. thanks ang, i wouldn't have known otherwise...

all the single ladies with the one who got a ring put on it.

if only you were aware of how many versions of this exact same photo, with all the same faces have been accumulated over the years...

ang thought it would be a good idea to give herself a nose job right before pictures.

reception hall.

sara told this kid that ang tasted like sugar. the result? the kid viciously trying to to bite ang. it was one of the funniest moments all weekend.

mr. & mrs. coleman's first dance.

what wedding reception does not have tahitian dancers?

the men learning to hula. some were a little more successful than others...

thought we would put the center pieces to some good use.

sara caught the bouquet. is she next? will i be traveling next summer to be, yet again, another bridesmaid? i may have to get another closet just for all of my bridesmaid dresses...

liter leader.

if there were a competition at work for the liters of water that were consumed, i think i would win. thanks danny for bringing in the cases of water that were left over from the marathon.

p.s. 100 % oxygen water does not taste like regular water at all...sorry air water, but you can't fool me.

chrismukkah.

seth cohen created the chrismukkah tradition, but who knew it would transcend beyond prime time television to our nation's leaders?

last week i found this article, and it made me roll my eyes and embarrassed for the fellow. but luckily so did conan, and so he and max weinberg knew exactly what to do: make a christmas song for mormons. and boy, is it great!



hooray for chrismukkah!

temptation.

sometimes i wonder (emphasis on the "wonder" part) what would happen if i didn't return from christmas break and stayed in my shorts all year long...

...alas, i am too responsible, but i do miss the days when i could take off and be the free spirit that i am...

indulgences.

the holiday season is all about delicacies and indulgences in our diets...hence why most people place "getting into shape" at the top of their new year's resolution list.

i have an indulgence that i partake of a little too generously during the holiday season, which is listening to delilah. i just love it during the christmas time. i laugh and i cry while listening to her program, while she spins christmas favorites from dolly parton, etc.

while listening to her program last night, i learned two things: 1. she has her very own christmas song. 2. her daughter's name is laneequah, and for some reason both of these facts caught me a little off guard.

one more bonus fact about this local, seattle celebrity is that she has a clothing store called, "hoochie wear." wha???? oh delilah...

ps...for some reason, i realized that i really wish that jennifer lopez was still j.lo and that she was still jenny from the block....that's all.
