Dad Date Style
I went out to dinner with my father last night, who is working with a company in LA right now. While we only went to the restaurant on the corner, I took it as an excuse to you know...wear clothes, since I rarely go out in the world.
LOOK.

Haven't seen one of these in a while, have you?

Date Night by Polyvore
With (hopefully) many dates on the horizon, I've been spending much time in my closet, scouring my racks for fun outfits to wear on said excursions.
I have NOTHING.
Clearly, I must shop.
But you know...poor. Despite that raise.
Until I pay off my debts and lose the last of this weight, I'll just play on Polyvore and dream of all the outfits I wish I could wear out on the town with various eligible bachelors to various fabulous places.
Enjoys!

A Sunday: The Lovely, The Lazy, The LA Life
Overall I would say this weekend is just about the best I've had in LA for awhile. For reals.
Happy me.
No yoga this morning, though. My alarm went off, and my body said, "Uh, nope. No thank you. Nooo." I was wrecked. In a lovely way, but you know...no. Recovery day. Funny how 135 minutes in a 100 plus degree room, upside down, will make you a little tired.
So I lazed about in bed for awhile, which is truly one of my favorite past times. Popped my smelly cat pee sheets in the wash. Then I finished cleaning my apartment, which really took no time at all once I got right down to it, got it looking oh-so-pretty, parental-ready and shiny. Then I bought purty flowers at the Farmer's Market, and got myself looking almost as purty, and then my parents picked me up for our day out on the town!
Speaking of being purty, or pretty, if we're using grown up language: when I thought over our plans for the day last night, I realized they were exactly the same as a previous Sunday outing almost exactly a year ago: so I wore a variation on the same outfit. 'Cause why not?
First up was lunch at the Napa Valley Grille in Westwood with my sweet baby cousin and her equally adorable boyfriend, seniors at UCLA. Of course, I call her my baby cousin when in actuality she's only a few years younger than me. But when you're a kid, a few years makes someone seem INFANTILE, and I still retain the idea that she's significantly younger than me, even though she's really not. Food was delicious, conversation was fabulous, all was well. I split a seared ahi tuna salad and braised pear and prosciutto with burrata appetizer with my mama. SO GOOD.
Then my parents and I went to see "The Gift" at the Geffen Playhouse staring Kathy Baker, Chris Mulkey, James Van Der Beek, and Jaime Ray Newman. It was awesome and weird and interesting and kinda fucked up and thought provoking and I don't really know what to make of it, but I enjoyed myself. I asked my parents if we could go because the author, Joanna Murray-Smith, wrote a play that I did a scene and monologue from when I was big into acting and drama and whatnot back in the day. Ah, memories.
Then my parents and I went back to my apartment, my mom and I put on comfy clothes, opened a few bottles of wine and chatted and hung out with the kitty and lounged. They were suitably impressed with my clean and well organized apartment. I'm so lucky to have parents that I actually enjoy spending time with as people. I mean, why wouldn't I? they're awesome.
And then I made them dinner! And it was goooood.
Parmesan crusted chicken (my mama's recipe, will post later!) with Emily Bites' balsamic roasted vegetables over mixed baby greens. And more wine. YUM.
And also, cheesecake stuffed strawberries, but no pictures of those, 'CAUSE WE ATE THEM SO FAST.
They hit the road back to Santa Barbara, and I am tucked into bed with my Tree, who was so pleased to have a chance to cuddle with the Daddy again, who was always his favorite. Though, he did seem to pay more attention to the Mommy this time.
And I'm super stoked, cause I just reached the most revered episode of SVU: THE ANIMAL SMUGGLING EPISODE!
Bedtime after that, with sweet sweet dreams of gibbons.
Happy me.

Anything and everything goes.
With 2013 looming in the distance, and the promise of a total fresh slate dangled in front of me like a super motivating carrot, I'm kind of in free fall. Anything goes at this point, I'm not even half pretending to behave.
And today, I saw "Anything Goes" at the Ahmanson downtown.
Yes, that was such an artificially created transition. So sue me.
So yeah, saw me a revival. Wasn't so into it. I guess I'm more a fan of the modern musical, as much as I love Cole Porter and "De-Lovely" and "in olden days a glimpse of stocking...", I just wasn't that into it. Kinda boring. And maybe being sick did something to my ears, 'cause I swear the vocals were just not that good.
But, I always love a mommy/daughter date downtown, and it's fun being out in the city during the holidays. Give me a sparkly bow and some evergreen and I am happy.
And an excuse to come up with an outfit.
Happy Christmas Eve Eve Eve!

Non-Denominational Festivities in Red and Green
Last night was my company's "holiday" party on Main Street in Santa Monica. Festive.
I did not want to go. But I did go, and of course I had a reasonable amount of fun. Turns out I am surprisingly skilled at flip cup, and at avoiding talking to people I don't like. Plus, I cut out before I got too drunk and saved myself from mouthing off to people.
I sort of forgot to take a picture of my outfit, the Forever 21 haul I previewed last weekend. Whoops? I promise you, I looked splendid. I have a crappy pic from a few days ago when I texted the ensemble to the BFF. (Biff? Buff? BUFFY? Bitch needs a nickname.)
Cute, right? Clearly a color scheme I like. And I wore sheer cream tights with polka dots. One of my coworkers' girlfriend told me I looked "lovely and angelic", so I'll take that. And my boobs looked fantastic.
In other news, I slept until noon today. Reminds me of my youth.
In even BETTER news, my Bentley has been eating more normally and seems much perkier! Enough that he refused to sit still for his fluids this morning and caused them to spray all over my bed. Thanks, Cat. Thanks.
