january 30th

1. highlights.
there's something to say for feeling a little lighter...a little brighter. i've been feeling a little "dull" lately for lack of a better word. it's funny, i've convinced myself that i'm going to go temporarily brunette sometime in my 20's...yeah, right. i hope i get the courage sometime in the next 7 years. until then...
2. manicure/pedicure.
gosh, double b-e-a-u-t-f-y-i-n-g today. i wish i could have captured the picture of mom and i in the spa massage chairs with the asian ladies giving us extra long massages. "you want 10 more minutes?" ummm...yes, please. it's been a long week. my girl told me i looked like julianne hough from dancing with the stars. hmmm...ok, i'll take it. gorgeous country music singer, no problem. and to top it off, they think mom and i are sisters. no wonder we keep going back...we leave feeling so good about ourselves.
3. chow.
when in doubt, pick chow. sometimes i love spending friday nights with my parents. well, i guess it doesn't necessarily have to be a friday. the most amazing added bonus tonight was dez. she is the dollface server of the restaurant and i'm proud of her for getting her own thing going. so thankful for the chow meal and catching up with dez. i miss her.
4. father of the bride.
i've decided that this is one of my top 3 favorite movies of all time. i always thought i was going to grow up to be just like annie banks. fall in love at 22 while studying abroad in rome. perfect husband and perfect wedding. my, how far from reality that seems now. my story is and will be quite different than that. you know what i noticed about annie banks though...where are her girlfriends?
5. home sweet home.
