decided to make another..

i have a photoshoot on jan 7th. a designer from project runway is doing the wardrobe. i don't know who he is, but he's doing it. and a makeup artist or hair stylist.. i can't remember which. maybe both. either/or. i'm excited for it. i suppose i could book another shoot or two before then. i'm just .. trying to spend as much time as i have here in my last weeks in utah. then back to california./life.\

my cat is so funny. she has routines she likes to follow. one of them is when i wake up in the mornings she gets up too and comes over to my face and tries to get under the covers with me. she curls up against my chest and i cover us up and she starts to purr. another thing is i can't ever shut the door when i shower and shes around. she has to come in and sit and wait for me or watch me. if i shut the door she meows and paws at the door. also, she fetches. when she wants to play she brings one of her toys (the ones i made her) up onto the bed and sits down and meows until i pick it up and throw it. then she brings it back, i throw it, etc. its so funny. i love that my cat plays fetch. shes so cool.


so for christmas i'm going to go to the paynes [link] for brunch. one time he gave me two balled up pieces of paper that he called "a cherry". is so cute and creative he cracks me up. it will be fun and new this year. i'm excited for it./

WHERE IS THIS SNOW STORM I'VE BEEN HEARING SO MUCH ABOUT??

koko

stupid sam broke down the big icicle outside my window when i wasn't in the room. i was sad. i walked in to the dining room and saw him halfway out the window with the screen on the floor and the ice in his hands. it was weird. he said it will grow back. still wasn't his ice to be breaking. jerk. i've been measuring the other big one every day. its my favorite. i'm just glad he didn't break that one. i have bonds with my ice.

l'accueil etait chaleureux

the usual dinner time in france is a little later than in the united states, around seven thirty or eight o'clock. when the french eat out, they usually arrive at the restaurant between eight and ten o'clock. a festive meal or a meal in a restaurant starts with an aperitif, followed by an hors-d oeuvre or entree (appetizer) and the plat principal (main dish). then comes a salade verte (salad with lettuce) or a course of fromages (cheeses). after the dessert, many people drink cafe (coffee) or an after dinner digestif (drink). "doggy bags" are not customary in french restaurants.

positive affirmations

the untold power of the human psyche. i believe people construct their own realities of abundance or poverty. through affirmations, people give operating instructions to their mind. the universe is enormously abundant. you have to believe in it. put your love and positivity out there and you'll be safe. if you think that money is limited, then it will be. if you have a negative attitude about money, you will not attract it. saying "i cant afford that" is an affirmation. you must believe in abundance before you can participate in it.

moving home

i am probably moving back to california.
more on that later.

hula hoop

just me, anouk, the moon & the christmas lights around my window.

about to go get curled up in my big comfy bed & sleep in tomorrow. i worked all day, i've been up since 7:00, but actually arose at about 7:45, saturday's are so hard to get out of bed early especially when its cold out side. at the event i worked tonight there was a mentalist. the only way i can describe what this guy did/does is like this. you're standing in one part of the room and hes standing in another & you have a piece of paper that you wrote something random on and he hasn't seen it, and he knows what it says when you look at it. sort of like he can see through your eyes. its really amazing. i can tell when some people fake things and when others don't. he wasn't faking because he used his magic on me when he was leaving the building. its just so cool what people can do. i also saw a girl hula hoop really really good, and it makes me want to hula hoop too. she also had bouncy stilt-like things and i want them also.





**remember hula hoops & stilts for later.
