stress

we are kind of stressed out about something. actually i have an anxiety attack right now. it looks like our landlord wants to sell the house and we might have to move out soon. yeah, just like last year around this time. we love the house and we've been here only for a year. thinking about the process of moving makes me feel sick. renting is pretty miserable.

gift from hbt & adc

isn't this the cutest thing ever?

holiday dinner at heather and alex's

since we couldn't go to chicago this year, we thought we were going to end up eating at some crappy restaurant on christmas day. but heather and alex kindly invited us to their family dinner. i know. we are so lucky! just look at the food!





delicious food! cozy decoration! fun conversation about Lady gaga and pop culture! it was an awesome night. thanks again, heather and alex!

ps:heather posted the recipes on her blog.

how's your holiday week going? we are not flying to chicago this year due to brad's work. it's the first christmas we are having in LA. i wish brad didn't have so much work to do. why the heck do they have to give him new work on the day before christmas eve??? ugh!!! anyways,,, i hope everyone's having a happy week.

ps: i want to open the presents so bad. i'm like a little girl now. ok,, let's try to be patient.

images via super space, found it via style files - i wish i decorated our home like these.

some reason i do love this winter although i'm a summer kind of girl. i'm thinking to do some holiday baking soon. yum yum! just thinking of it makes me happy. i should go get some sweet dessert wine too. (i'm very into it.)
