My little brother, sister, and I went on our first sibling vacation this past weekend. To add in the fun, Janet's bf and his little sister came with us and I had the best time!
10 restaurants in 2.5 days! Amazing.
Portland was blistering cold, but the food made it oh so worth it! It felt so good hanging out with family and turning off my phone for a few days! I'll be back in the next few days to show you the restaurants and the book :)
.. off the high of an amazing weekend in Portland. Posting pictures tonight and the rest of the week. I've missed you!
My new favorite coffee shop !
Stealing an uninterrupted moment to knit two whole rows :)

Spending time with my seester
Hi there, what are you up to this weekend? I have dinner with my two favorite cousins tonight + my good friend from kindergarten (!) and I can't be more excited! My weekend will be spent brunching, dinner -ing, lots of laundry and I'm trying a new cycling studio. Have a good one :)

I had a lot of fun with this project. Though, I don't think I'm being honest because some of the events that conspired yesterday aren't part of my daily life. Is that okay? Is it cheating?
For example, I rarely (if ever) go out to eat for lunch. I feel I got lucky because Darlene and I picked this day to have a Plancha date. Or, normally on Wednesday I have a Stretch & Flex class in the late evening. Instead, my sister told me she was making dinner and I opted to attend that instead because it'd be more photo-worthy. I'm such an opportunist!
It's official. I am no longer a morning person.
My little vanity nook.
Or I curl or leave straight?
Hey Columbus, does this work?
I really don't give a tail about how you look. Please feed me. I'm starving.
Checking in with mr. boss man. Going to work before work.

The best surprise at work !
Only the best will do
Visiting my sister + eating her amazing cooking
1. He never likes to cuddle (but he did last night!) 2. I am so obsessed with him!
Next up will be scrapbooking the pictures. Thank you for challenging me, Ali Edwards! You rule. Seriously.
When Ali Edwards invited us to join her in Day In The Life documentary, my first thought was to pass because I didn't have the time. I'm in an office the majority of the day and let's face it, it's not very exciting. However, let me tell you about the monstrous black crows that appeared on our balcony today - they looked like huge, black chickens. Gross.
Then I thought, "well, if I don't have time to do a day in the life, what about an hour of something I do that's really cool?!" You've met my super amazing contortion teacher, David Garcia, here. Every week, he tortures and contorts my body into these freakish, unnatural postures. Basically, he stretches me out and conditions my body to become super bendy.
I love it because I'm not a flexible person. Not naturally, at least. These positions that I'm able to get into, I work hard at it. When I'm having a particularly rough day, I love coming to class and having the physical, stretchy pain block my senses. I don't think about what's troubling me. I flow through. Obviously, because I'm lashing out in agony and expletives :)
This pretty much sums up how I feel after each session.
After coming home and uploading my pictures, I was feeling confident in trying out Ali's propsal tomorrow later today. Let's see how far I can get. Wish me luck!
Hi there! I don't have weekend photos to show you, but I do have these fun pictures I've been meaning to post. If time permits this week, I'm going to carve a teeny tiny space (read: throw boxes on the floor!) out in my studio to scrapbook. I have the itch. Luff u. x
Do you have any plans for Super Bowl this weekend? I have brunch for a sweet friend's birthday, dineLA dinner with girlfriends, work, and plans to reorganize. Have a good one!

I had a smile on my face the entire day yesterday. With awesome colleagues and a very cool boss, they filled my day with funnies + yummy treats. I had dinner with my favorite sister in the whole world, along with DL and Mr. Officer. Thank you for the unforgettable, laugh out loud conversations.
A very special mention to Mrs. F for helping me cross off the first item on my Twenty.Eight list. Thank you for believing in my baking skills and batter whipping prowess :)
Receiving all the calls, emails, Facebook messages and texts made me feel so fuzzy and humble. Thank you for all your kind words and well wishes. You're amazing. xo, j
