Can't Wait!

So it's the week of Christmas and I can not believe how fast this year has gone by!

Can't Wait to...

1. See my family

2. See my friends

3. Family vacation in Costa Rica- 70-80 degrees!!!!

4. Give presents to my family (since it's only taking up half of my luggage ;)

5. Annual Secret Santa Exchange Brunch with the girls

6. Celebrate NYE with the friends. Ironically, this will be my first New Year's as a New 

Yorker but my first NYE with friends in LA. 

7. Finish Tolstoy hotdammit.

Otto with Em and Joe

Very affordable Mario Batali restaurant I was a fan of until I spent an hour waiting (on a weekday mind you!) and had the saltiest pasta dish of my life.

*Note to self: must bring Ann here.

More and more, I'm starting to realize how small my eyes are.

I really don't care except that people taking pictures for/of me have thought my eyes were closed when they were really open.

Then again, I am under the influence of wine in this picture. 

Cheese!

Guzzle...

teehee. so cute!

I realized we took these pics when Joe was in the bathroom. Oops, haha.
