Beautiful Saturday!  Too bad I was on my way to work.  :(  The exciting news is that my team won 'Global Event Management Team of the Year'! So awesome.  Everyone on my team works their butts off so this is very cool.

Longest day EVER!  Worked all day, helped my boss direct guests to an event at night and then got to spend some quality time with 2 of my favorite girls in downtown LA at the French bistro, Perch.  Super late night but totally worth it.

It was a late day at work today. Missed the 5:40 and 6:30 metrolink trains. Running to catch the 7:30pm Amtrak. Literally running. But had to stop at a red light and loved this building so snapped a picture. Then continued (jogging) to the Metro Station, caught the Metro to Union and then ran to Amtrak. Missed my train by less than a minute. There were not any signs as to which train was which so I had to run into the train and ask. Finally found mine and it started driving off. Ugh!

Good thing my parents were available to pick me up and let me crash at their place. Had to go to Target (once again) to get another shirt, etc so I could get ready for work the next morning.

This weekend I will be packing an "emergency" toiletry bag to keep at work for instances like this where I am not able to go home! haha. Hot mess!

The sky was so blue at 6:00 this morning on the way to work. It was a pretty contrast against the dark trees and hills.

Spent the day with the family to celebrate my mom, sister-in-law and niece's Birthdays. Makenna (5) drew this picture of our dog. So cute.

Found this video that Duffy posted of her singing a cover of Etta James' song, Trust In Me. So amazing. I don't think I've ever seen her sing live. LOVE her! Can't wait to see her perform live one day. Maybe in England??!!

Click below to see the video.

Today was a bill paying kind of day. Uggghhhh......

Even the dirty LA streets look cool using instagram. Yep. Took a picture of the ground. And I like it. Not that I want to hang it up in my house or anything but I like the contrasts and the pop of color.

Happy Monday. :)

I caved. I purchased something I saw on an infomercial!! I bought it through Amazon so I wouldn't get caught up in the automatic monthly re-fills. It's called Wen and it's supposed to take the place of your shampoo, conditioner, deep conditioner and detangler. It's more of a natural product. If Alyssa Milano, Roselyn Sanchez and Drew Barrymore say it's amazing, it must be. Right?? We'll see...

My favorite mug for tea! Yes, I use specific mugs for specific beverages. I even have a favorite wine glass. :) This mug was from my first trip to London. How amazing is that little double decker bus on the inside? So cute.

Enjoy the chilly night!
(Tea of choice tonight was TAZO Wild Sweet Orange. Yummmm.)

Two things.
1) I have too many books (if that is even possible).
2) There seems to be a theme.

Love my books.

This is the yum dinner I made today. Toasted garlic green beans (modified version of one of the recipes in my Emeril cookbook) and garlic shrimp. Delicious!

After a draining day at work, I finally made it home. Made it just in time for new episodes of Glee and New Girl! Glee was cute with the proposals and New Girl was hilarious with the Douche Bag Jar. Zooey Deschanel and crew kill me. They are hilarious!

A note I left for a co-worker on my computer last night so he wouldn't mess with it. He was trying to prank my team. Good luck with that Corinne!

Worked all day. And it's Sunday! Uggghhhh.... It was a long day but I am finally home in my bed with my wine (courtesy of an unfinished bottle from yesterday!), a book and the pitter patter of the rain outside my window. Now I'm a happy girl!

Today I made the long treck up to Malibu to a winery for a friend's birthday. The winery was called Malibu Wines. It's outdoors and has tables, adirondack chairs and grassy areas. Perfect for picnics! We brought snacks bought some wine from the winery and enjoyed the live music in the Malibu canyons. Nice way to spend the afternoon!

This pic is of a chandelier they have at the tasting area. I love it and I want to make one. It's so great.
