Snow Wonderful!

It's Friday and I am sitting at work with just a couple of hours until my vacation starts and I'll be able to go home to see my family for the Holiday break. I especially can't wait to see my sister because she is one of my best friends with whom I can always count on to make me laugh.  Whilst perusing the internetz, I came across a wonderful snow filled article. Kinfolk recently posted this beautiful photo spread of two best friends hanging out, having an adventure, instead of buying material possessions for each other for Christmas. Probably the best gift ever! Z and I try to give each other vacations/trips instead of buying gifts since it's really about making memories and capturing pictures from those trips that we will remember the most. Actually, since my closet is already exploding with clothes, Z refuses to get me anything that has to do with clothing...so I definitely do not need more of that. (Possible New Years resolution could be NOT becoming a clothes hoarder.)  Anyways, sorry for the crazy tangent. Kinfolk's photos are magical in setting the tone for this upcoming Holiday break. (I secretly want that black and white checkered jacket though. Shhh! It is just purely amazing.)  The scenery makes me long for an outdoor excursion for myself with tons of snow. I'll have to remember to put this on my TO DO list of things I want to accomplish in the New Year. Happy Holidays everyone!

I am so excited for Winter and all the upcoming Holiday parties/get-togethers. I guess it's just a chance for me to wear sequins and other ridiculous sparkly accessories (TIGHTS! BOWS! EEP!) that people would normally look at me funny for. Oh well. Here are some current songs that have been stuck in my head lately that I would play for any Holiday party. Cheers!

Gobble Gobble!

This Thanksgiving was a success! Special thanks to my sister and my aunt for helping my mom out this year since she could not cook. Unfortunately, some of the side effects of the chemo makes her extremities hyper-sensitive to cold. It proved quite difficult for her to even just open up the fridge and to retrieve the vegetables or frozen goods. My sister's turkey was super delicious. The turkey was set in brine since the previous Sunday and had this beautiful golden brown color from brushing it continuously with sage butter.

I had taken more photos with my Pentax K1000, but they did not turn out so well. Target did a horrible job scanning them since most of the pictures had this hideous horrible green scan line in the center. Here are some photos that managed to show up and the other photos are taken from my cousins:

I finally got to wear the Alex Chung for Madewell dress that I had been lusting for, but I got so excited with the cooking and total gluttony that I had little food stains on my dress at the end of the night. (I did manage to get them out later) I'm thankful that I have such a great family whom are very supportive with everything that has happened to my mom earlier this fall. Now that Thanksgiving is over, I can't wait to see my family again for Christmas! Cheers!
