Weekend Dilemmas

Most people look forward to the weekends so they can catch a break from life or just a few seconds to themselves.  Maybe it's just the need for a breath of fresh air and a day outside of the office away from their co-workers.

Clearly as most of you have noticed, I am not like most people.  

I am that annoying friend who looks forward to the weekends because that means all of my friends do not have obligations such as work which, for me, means HUMAN INTERACTION!!! 

Yesssss!

So even though you wanted a free day or just some "you" time, I am that friend who will deny you of that luxury and make you hang out with me.

Needless to say, this weekend was a Blast!

I had friends, a boat, and summer finally came!

Better late than never.

We scooted around the bay and docked at a restaurant to grab a quick bite of breakfast.

Popular menu choice was the breakfast burrito.

Have I mentioned how much I love where I live?

We made friends with the locals.

Then Lindsey and I did a little shopping on Balboa Island.
And I finished the day off nicely by devouring seven cupcakes.

Now the next step is figuring out how I can do this every day....

Beginning with getting someone to quit their job.

I Wish...

haha Don't we all wish...

Round 2

So this week has been a bit of a hard one for me to get through.  I have been slightly panicking on what direction my life will go and how I can further nudge it along down the right path.  

Problem?  

What exactly is the path I am supposed to take?

There needs to be some sort of handbook to life.

I have been dead set on putting in my one month on October 1st so either way, at the end of October, I will be leaving on a jet plane to somewhere other than here.

So this week I wish....

1. To hear back from Korea asap so I can plan my life

2. If I don't get the job in Korea then I want to move to NYC and seriously pursue my modeling career

3. Or have modeling go amazingly well here

4. And if it does, then I want to purchase a house.....

....like this....

Okay, well I am not completely serious about purchasing a house like this one in particular but this is my wish list.

5. If Korea is a no go then I also want to get a job here.

Bonus: Book the Esprit job.

Told you my wishes were a little out there :)

Nike

The Nike commercial finally came out!

It is a really short clip of me (#3 "spiking" the volleyball) but hey... I made it! :)

Online Shopping ~ My Guilty Pleasure

Just bought these gems from Victoria's Secret!!

It's always such a nice surprise to get a present in the mail from yourself.

It was even better in college when you would get that package and not even remember ordering that bright pink, metallic jumpsuit you wanted ever since you were a little girl or the designer handbag that you generously paid three months salary for.

This often resulted in the typical response, "Oh me.  Thank you!  You just know me so well."

Long Sleeved Minis are so hot this year!  Love them!

No matter how much time I spend trying to talk myself into buying a patterned bra, I can never do it.  However, there was a really cute zebra one AND I managed to get it into my shopping cart
 But I always feel a little bit like a hoochie when I go to check out and I look down to my right at the Maxim catalog sitting on my coffee table and see the girl on the cover wearing the same glittery, zebra patterned bra.

I mean, I don't really plan on showing it to anyone so I just stuck to the boring black and nude.

Black can be sexy right??

Welcome To The Fish Bowl

I just realized that I haven't shown you guys around my place.

I absolutely LOVE where I live.  It's so spacious and open with lots of great natural light.

It has been deemed the fish bowl because half of the walls in our place are actually windows.

See Olive's new kitty tree on the left?

It is a little on the older side which we don't mind too much.

I do, however, wish we could paint it so it was a little less white.

The pictures make it look much more like a hospital than it does in person.  I promise.

And Yes, those are red metal chairs at our kitchen table.  We are that cheap.

I <3 my TOMS

My favorite place in the world.  It's just so comfy.

Last but certainly not least, 

the view.

We get to watch all the boaters go by as well as the walkers on the island frantically race around the boardwalk the mornings (which is that body of land on the other side of the water)

At the front end of the yacht directly in front of our place is a little beach too!

I seriously wish these places would go up for sale.

I'm Obsessed!

"You Can't Hit A Home Run If You Don't Get Up To Bat"

The wise words from my husband regarding my callback for GNC.

It was such a long day and needless to say I spent four hours at my callback and didn't get the job.

-Insert sad face here-

But always leave it to my husband to bring some light into my negative line of thinking and make everything better.

So this morning to make things better

I BROKE MY FAST!

Yippee!  It was seriously miserable and I could not stop shaking.

I also went on a beautiful walk with my husband around Balboa Island this morning.

I love calling him my husband.  It just doesn't get old (for me at least)

Just wanted to share a few of my favorite things about walking around the island.

I love these little gates.  They remind me of Nantucket.

Separation between tranquility and chaos.

The sense of humor required for island life.

Everyone is so proud of their gardens and each house has an exquisite blend of colors.  I additionally love the reflection in the glass.  How perfect!

Walking with him xo
