It's already June?!

 SUNDAY JUNE 16, 2013

 This is what my car looks like when I go to pick up people through my new job at Lyft.  I am loving it so far.  I love meeting new people, talking, and helping people out who need it...as well as keeping drunkies off the road. :)

SATURDAY JUNE 15, 2013

 Sailing on Casey and Brynn's sailboat.  What an amazing way to spend my Saturday - out on the water with some of my best friends.  The people I spent the day with are some of the most incredible people I have ever met and I am so thankful I have them as my family.

FRIDAY JUNE 14, 2013

 I headed to Santa Monica today to check out Melissa's portfolio showcase.  I'm so proud of her!  After two years of insane and intense school work toward Fashion Design she is finally graduating.  She is such a talented and amazing artist; I'm so excited for her future in the industry.

THURSDAY JUNE 13, 2013

 Hung out downtown tonight.  I need to do this more; it's so cool.  Here is a Mai Tai that I was drinking at a speakeasy style bar called Varnish in the back of a restaurant through a seperate door.  Drinks were so delicious and I loved the ambiance.

WEDNESDAY JUNE 12, 2013

 Crystal and I went to Urth Cafe to catch up and as we were leaving, the paparazzi was across the street and began taking pictures of us/her as she was walking back to her car.  So crazy.  So, this is my first paparazzi shot.

TUESDAY JUNE 11, 2013

 We went to Palm Springs to celebrate Lo's Birthday.  Relaxing day of laying out, swimming, drinks, and good company...and of course, lots and lots of laughing.

MONDAY JUNE 10, 2013

I still had some of Grandma's pierogies in the freezer.  What an amazing delicious dinner. :)

SUNDAY JUNE 9, 2013

 Pride weekend.  So, of course we had an insanely busy morning at work, so naturally we went to Marix after for some margaritas.  Such a lovely afternoon with some great friends.

SATURDAY JUNE 8, 2013

 Rachael in Hawaii.  She has been sending me pictures everyday.  Her cousin is also a photographer, so she is getting some insanely amazing pictures while there.  I had to share this one.

FRIDAY JUNE 7, 2013

 Jess and I at a bar before seeing "Priscilla Queen of the Desert" at the Pantages Theatre.  One of our favorite customers bought the tickets for us to go.  Originally, Mattie was supposed to come, but couldn't.  I love Jess being out here; it's just like old times.  

THURSDAY JUNE 6, 2013

 Definitely needed a coffee for the ride home.  Such a cool cup!

WEDNESDAY JUNE 5, 2013

 Cars Land!  Disney does such an incredible job with creating such beautiful environments.  We went on some rides, had some drinks, and watched Fantasmic - which was AMAZING.

TUESDAY JUNE 4, 2013

 I took Rachael to the airport today for her journey in Hawaii with her aunt and uncle.  It's a three week soul searching experience that will be amazing and life changing, and I'm so excited for her!

MONDAY JUNE 3, 2013

 Which one to choose?  I bought these two sunglasses as the Fairfax Trading Post - a street flea market every Sunday.  2/$10.  

SUNDAY JUNE 2, 2013

 

 Painting.  I was in an artistic mood and decided to spend the afternoon painting.  Such a great freeing experience.

SATURDAY JUNE 1, 2013

 I google chatted with Nicholas, Danielle, and Katie so I could be present as Danielle ate some of the Bertie Bott's Every Flavor Jelly Beans that Katie and Nicholas got from Harry Potter world in Florida.  I've got to say, I had a lot of fun picking the next color/flavor and then watching Danielle's face as she ate vomit, dirt, earthworm, booger, and bubblegum.

The end of May

FRIDAY MAY 31, 2013

 My little Batman. :)

THURSDAY MAY 30, 2013

 Oscar looks like he didn't want to take his picture with me, but he really did - don't be fooled.

WEDNESDAY MAY 29, 2013

Pool day with Lauren!  We both needed some best friend positivity and sunlight, so we got together, talked a ton, worked things out a little bit, and got a slight tan.  Pretty good day.

 

TUESDAY MAY 28, 2013

 Matt, Lucas, Oscar, and I went for a hike over in Topanga at Red Rock Canyon.  We had such a good time, though it was pretty hot and kind of headed back earlier than anticipated.

MONDAY MAY 27, 2013

 Memorial Day BBQ.  Martin, Lo, Mattie, and Matt's friend Lucas all came over and we bbq-ed, drank, ate, shared stories, laughed, and watched some television.  Such a relaxing day with good company.

SUNDAY MAY 26, 2013

 Brandon (Jamie and Casey's brother) is in town for the next couple of months, so I took him around the Hollywood area and made him take all of the tourist-y pictures that you're supposed to take.  He hated me for it, but I'm sure also secretly loved it...Let's be real, if Jamie was there, she would have been taking more pics.

SATURDAY MAY 25, 2013

Reuniting with my Hamlet: Prince of Darkness cast for Melissa and Ray's Wedding.  It's hard to believe that play was literally two years ago.  Where has the time gone?!  Such a beautiful wedding that was perfectly suited for them.

FRIDAY MAY 24, 2013

 These flowers are beyond beautiful.

THURSDAY MAY 23, 2013

 I got Valerie and Brian's invitation in the mail!  I LOVE the invites!  It's all pictures of graffiti that Val took while they were in Miami.  Love the font, too.  I'm so excited to be a part of their special day so soon!

WEDNESDAY MAY 22, 2013

 I'm watching Oscar again!!!  I love this little guy so much and enjoy the time we get to spend together.  I'm sure he feels the same way.

TUESDAY MAY 21, 2013

 This picture is from Disney yesterday, but I thought it was cool. :)

MONDAY MAY 20, 2013

 While at work, Drew, Scotty, and I decided that we should head to Disney afterward.  So, we did.  Why not?  I love my random vacations.

SUNDAY MAY 19, 2013

 I don't know what these purple flower trees are called, but they're so beautiful and I love seeing them on every street.

SATURDAY MAY 18, 2013

 Final night of Oscar Wilde, and first night of becoming SAG eligible!!  Stephanie brought Anastasia and I onto her web series and the director was able to make us SAG eligible.  Yay to great thing things coming!!!  This pictures is us on set filming a party scene.

FRIDAY MAY 17, 2013

 Finally making a smoothie after too long of not making one.  The peanut butter not only adds a good amount of protein, but adds such a good flavor to it, also.

THURSDAY MAY 16, 2013

 Mama Renee wanted to make Lo and I a vegetarian dinner of some baked tofu, so we all headed over for some delicious vegetarian food.  Sooooo good.

WEDNESDAY MAY 15, 2013

 Mattie came over and we had our own little happy hour and pizza on the balcony.  Such a beautiful, chill evening with such a great friend.

TUESDAY MAY 14, 2013

 Headed to the beach with Jonathan and Martin today.  Obviously, got margaritas and guac afterward - a necessity.

MONDAY MAY 13, 2013

 Lauren and I spending our "Adventure Day" at Disney for the month of May.  Every month we pick a day, both make sure we have it off, and then pick a random adventure to go on; this month it was Disney.  This is to ensure that we get to a. see each other since our schedules are crazy and b. experience life to its fullest with our best friend. 

SUNDAY MAY 12, 2013

 I just love getting pictures of this little guy.  All set and ready for Mother's Day activities.

SATURDAY MAY 11, 2013

 Found out today that one of our favorite residents, Gert, passed away.  So, we facetimed and reminisced of the good times.  Gert lived an extremely full life, and although it's sad that she isn't around anymore, I feel extremely blessed to have been friends with her.  So, instead of crying, we got to visit with each other, sort of, and share stories and laugh.  :)

FRIDAY MAY 10, 2013

 Dinah and me from about four years ago.  Dinah and Whitney re-creating the picture.  I love it.  They are such goofs.  I can't wait to go back and visit in July!

THURSDAY MAY 9, 2013

 Disney day with Drew Bear and Mattie.  Such an amazing day of laughs, drinks, and rides.  I love having an annual pass because it becomes such a chill day instead of trying to get everything in in such a short amount of time.

WEDNESDAY MAY 8, 2013

 

 Who craves pizza rolls and red wine?  Yup.  That would be me.  So bizarre, but so worth it.  

TUESDAY MAY 7, 2013

 

 Sometimes you just need to take yourself out to lunch for some treating and reflection.  So, I took myself to my favorite sushi place and wrote in the journal. 

 MONDAY MAY 6, 2013

 Relaxing on the balcony first thing in the morning with my coffee while listening to the birds.  It's hard to believe I'm in the center of LA at moments like this.
