Most social weekend ever
Last weekend we behaved like a pregnant couple stocking up on social engagements before baby arrives. Kinda exhausting actually. Am eager to slow it down a bit and feather the nest for our boy. Regardless, we had a lot of fun! I really do love the holiday season.

Top two photos are from Work/Shop - How could I resist hanging with all these talented ladies all at once? Plus, any chance I get to grab a hug from Bianca I'll take. That gal gives the best hugs. Plus plus, Summer was coming from SD and well, I just had to meet her. She's kind of the bomb diggity.
Bottom Left is my Ban.do heart clutch from Jen and ginger ale with two cherries please. Every other year my work throws a holiday party for adults. (The other year is a kid centric brunch complete with kiddo height buffet line.) The party was sort of a big debut for my belly. Some work people still didn't know I was pregnant! But there sure was no missing it at the party. Everyone is so nice when you're baking up a baby.
Bottom right is my plate at Alpna and Hitesh's Annual Phoney Christmas dinner. We got there just in time to see everyone at least for a moment. Alpna is a superb cook and really, there is no excuse to miss out on her elaborate multi-course event of homecooked indian food. She even makes her own custom chai spice mix. Delightful.
Wow. Tired.
Anyway, hope your holidays are going swell!

SATURDAY
Saturday was jam packed. Sergio dragged me out to the Apple store to visit the genius bar, only for us to be turned away because we didn't have an appointment. (My iPhone battery is draining crazy quick.) Then we stopped by Home Depot where we ran into Betsy's parents! It's a location we and they both never visit so it was a real coincidence. As night fell, we commenced our ambitious evening of three parties in three vastly different parts of the city. Yep. We are crazy.

SUNDAY
Just a tad more mellow than the previous day. We ended up back at the Apple store for our appointment. Then lunch in with my parents in Chinatown. Then home for chores. I started the "Great Stuff Purge for Baby Stuff of 2012-2013".
Wow. Tired.
Anyway, hope your holidays are going swell!

Hello there 2012. Big hugs.
We stopped at my parents' place for a quick hello+happy new year to the family.
Then we came back to our neighborhood for an almost impromptu NYE party.
THE PARTY & etc.
Jen+Andrew invited us to celebrate at their new home. First, the house is super duper cool. Second, the party was FUN! But I didn't take pictures. (Boo.) Thank goodness the hostess with the mostess Jen and the uber-adorable Bri seemed to be embroiled in an instagram throw down.

THE AFTERNOON AFTER
We returned the next afternoon for Andrew's sausage rolls+bloody marys+the pledge of allegiance led by a particularly precocious (& stylish) 7-year-old. This day, lovely Bonnie was present and doing her own iphone photo documentation.
From Bonnie Tsang's (@bonnietsang) instagram/twitter feed:
Yeah, it was this fun. Trust.
I love meeting new people and growing existing relationships. It's especially awesome when the peeps are as nice and crazily talented as this bunch. Oh, and getting to hang with the cute pup didn't hurt.
Here's a photo I did take on new year's day. Nothing fancy. A straight-up old-fashioned snapshot. Just my red shoes+fading sunlight+front yard.
Well, I'm gonna say that 2012 has been kicked off with p to the izzazz.

Palm Springs 12.2011
We headed to the desert for a quick pre-new year relax & recharge. Due to unwise choices on a few occasions, we really didn't get too much of either. BUT we still had a good time. Here are some of my favorite moments. Get ready for a lot of randomness.
THE SKY
THE BEST MEAL
THE ROOM
THE HUMMINGBIRD
These little guys are buzzing all around the place. We were so surprised to have one visit us during lunch in our patio. :)
THE MISC.
Now we're back in L.A. with a long to-do list for the rest of my time off. I hope we can squeeze in a bit of unwind time before I'm back on the job.
