HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

A new year, for new beginnings right?  Cross your fingers for me.  Haha.

If you are expecting an update on my new year's resolution, I don't have one.  I spent about 10 days on vacay in San Diego (and BOY, did I need it!) so I'm still coming up to speed back in LA.  More updates when I eventually have a place and my own kitchen.  So possibly not for another few months.

I will however recount my most favorite moments of my vacation (and I don't even have pictures... *facepalm*)

• Staying at "Chez Lisa" is awesome, no matter which way you swing it.  Queen size bed, fabulous pillow, TV and cable, a walk in closet, and an extra large shower.  And that's just the guest bedroom and guest bathroom.  She also has an amazing kitchen.  We're talking sub-zero freezer, polished stone counter-tops, and all new appliances.  Such a turn-on.

• Making my friend Scott his long-overdue pomegranate ice cream.  Blended a couple recipes, and it still could use a little tweaking.  But it worked.

• New Year's Eve.   The whole evening.  I haven't had that much fun in quite some time.  Got to see some of my favorite people all in one place, see the opening of a GREAT show (check them out on Facebook or at their website), drink too much, and ultimately make a few awesomely bad decisions.  Oh, and doing it all in style.  We were one good looking bunch.

• Lunching and shopping (more than once) with Ashley!  Heart to hearts with her are always refreshing, and fun!  And we always eat really tasty foods.  This time is was coffee and greek food.  Not together.  But YUM!

• One-on-one time with my favorite Scott.  Wine, movies, and drunk Wii.  A fantastically fun evening.

• Playing "roommates" with Lisa.  When we're together at her place in San Diego, it starts to feel like we're roommates again.  Which is a blast-and-a-half, and a great comfort on this much needed vacation.

• Returning to see my "little brother" in a musical showcase for his school.  Watching him perform is always a joy, but this time, to see him perform in "One" from A Chorus Line, a number my "brother" and I performed just 12 years earlier, brought so much joy to my heart that I couldn't stop smiling.  it made my face hurt. 

So... now it's time to snap back to reality, and get my life going again.
