Puppy on the brain.

I want a little woofer so so so so bad! BUT... not allowed in our gem of an apartment, so... I have to hold out... BUT... I have always LOVED Shar Pei's, but never really thought I could handle a big doggy and its poopoo so I knew it was not a realistic option... also they are sort of like CHOW-CHOW's... Loyal to their owner.. which is not so good for kids (yes, yes.. I THINK AHEAD).. anyhow..

in Santa Monica a couple weekends ago I met a little guy I just cannot stop thinking about.. A MINI SHAR PEI.. FULL GROWN IS LIKE A BIG PUG!!!!! obsessed. check out how cute they are:

I MEAN... I DIE.

dreaming of cuddling with these little monsters!!! 

current addiction.

OREOS.


I don't know what brought it on, but all the sudden, I cannot live without OREOS in the house. It is such a weird thing... because I am one for home made baked goods... not a regular old OREO, I never even knew I had this passion... BUT I DO... I definitely do.

then... I started thinking about good ol Oreos.. and realized, they play a much bigger role then I ever gave those little whale lard goodies credit for..

FOR ONE: every year for such a long time at thanksgiving we make turkey oreos as a family with my cousins in the Desert, so much so... that my cousin Eliana even wrote a report about making Oreo Turkeys to represent a unique family tradition when she was a little one... pretty funny, CUTE, and yummy! always a hit..

ANOTHER SEASONAL YUMMY OREO JACKPOT.... just add pretzels and candy corn... its like oreo bark!

For a wedding gift, I got this cake pan from William Sonoma and you make a cake to look like a Oreo, a little tricky, but such a charmer..

AND.. then there is always the chocolate dipped oreo, so easy, and sort of impressive to serve... or wrap them up and use them as party favors.. 

You know what I am dreaming of.. or making a reality and marching into my kitchen right this moment..

I even made up an Oreo dance with my husband... YEP! 

Oreooooo, O O REEEOOO! 

Favorite Vibe.

I know it might be weird, but I think my favorite look is when a girl is in workout clothes.... and the best is with a baseball hat. Here are some of my favorites:

I cannot stop thinking about brunch at HoSum! Obviously I have spent my life eating at HoSum but I was never aware of the all you can eat 14.95$ brunch!! I mean full on dimsum.. Nonstop, and soup and salad! I am dreaming of the next Sunday I am in Newport... Everyone should run there! AND- if you're a drinker, 6 dollar champagne bottles... It might be sparkling wine ;), but who cares!!! What a DREAM!

TECHNOLOGICALLY CHALLENGED!

I keep trying to upload these posts on my phone- and then I go to look and they aren't here! HOW FRUSTRATING IS THAT? Naturally, I am prob. the only one who knows or cares.. BUT STILL!! HARUMPH!!


Dreaming of making it work...

Childhood excitement.

I have always been elated with things that might seem a little.. youthful let's just say. I love Disneyland, I watch Hannah Montana, and I only watch rom-coms with happy endings, it is who I am, and I am proud of it. EMBRACE IT.
It makes a lot of sense.. maybe you should try it. You would have sweeter dreams. Think about it, life is complicated and hard naturally, we all face hardships and tragedies, that is just the brakes, WHY ADD TO IT BY WATCHING HORRID EVENTS UNFOLD ON TV OR IN MOVIES? I would rather entertain myself with all things happy, rainbows, butterflies, and sparkles...


well anyways, flash forward...

I KEEP SEEING OLD FASHIONED ICE CREAM TRUCKS EVERYWHERE!!!!

This particular one was just in the middle of Beverly Hills, perfect combo, Retail and Ice cream. Utopic.

I also spotted some in the park on Sunday when I was watching my husbands softball game. It was the GoodHumor truck, it even was playing the music, the noltagia in me wanted to go running for it and pick out my ONE treat and get it all over my face.... Something to look forward to when raising kids I suppose. I am just so glad these little gems of the old world still exist. 

DREAMING OF WHAT I WOULD GET OFF THE ICE CREAM TRUCK!! 

ps- I even saw an ice cream truck on an episode of Keeping Up With The Kardashians!! NOW I KNOW THEY HAVE STAYING POWER! 

I hate Surprises.

well.. In general I am not a big fan of a surprise. I know, I know. Party Pooper.

BUT- this is one surprise I hated. I thought I had been blogging via my phone and email.. pictures included, and none of it is up!! TOTAL BUMMER. I even have deleted the pictures "I blogged" off of my phone already, thinking they were uploaded via some incredible blackberry form of technology... but I suppose they are lost in cyber world, and I am technologically challenged left to blog via web.

Not a problem. HERE I AM, ready to update the heck out of you dreamers.

A Blog update via Text! This could get wild! Love learning new things. Dreaming. Xo
