Hey! Sorry I have been scant on the blogging lately, I have been pretty busy.

First off I am blogging live from Pleasanton, I came down here last Thursday to stay with my sister Jenny for a few days, get some work done at the winery and just get out of town. It’s been great taking a little mini vacation, I work the tasting room pouring wine all day, then I come home to my sisters, make dinner have some wine and chill out marathon watching community, the office, and 30 rock. Sounds boring but I have had a GREAT few days. Sometimes in Sacramento I crowd myself with crowds and parties, its nice to have time to myself. It has really made me realize how satisfying living on my own would be. I need to move out post haste.

I guess I havent been blogging because I have less to complain about. I have some money in my pocket(some being the key word), I got a lead in the next play(!), the American River Review is out and its beautiful, and its fucking Christmas time and I have been embracing it wholeheartedly. yayy, I have hella more christmas pictures of our decorations at home coming soon.

I have been trying to visualize my life post Sacramento lately. Because I will be free of all Sacramento commitments come March. Done with my DUI classes(and I can have my license back phew), Blithe Spirit will be over, and big announcement… I’m going to take an 8 week statistics course(thanks Colleen).

If I lived here I could work at my winery (and we open an AWESOME new tasting room next month) and and and Livermore Shakespeare festival is doing Macbeth (my favorite shakespeare) this summer, and yeah it performs outside at the old white victorian house at Concannon. This is a viable option right? I could bounce between my brother and sisters place until I found a room to myself.

I’m just throwing it out there, but this sounds like a smart plan right now.

I’m heading back to Sac today because all my friends are back in town! Yayy.

peace

Merry Christmas everybody!

Went to SoCal last week to go pick up my Grandma and take her home with us to stay for a couple weeks and have Christmas and new years with us. It has been very chill, lots of food, watching elf, watching Christmas movies, and just hanging out.

I got some sweet presents too. I got an Itouch(I have gone wayyyy too long with out an ipod), a nice coach wallet, some movies, some CDs, some money. Oh and my sister got me a ridiculous huge canvas mounted print of myself from the body paint shoot I did with Terri. lol.

Here’s pictures of our tree and decorations and such. The white tree is my sisters tree. She has always wanted a flocked tree, but we never let her get one and then her boyfriend of 5 years never let her get one. Now she lives on her own and can get whatever tacky decorations she wants. I’m actually pretty proud. Not only does it have fake snow on it. Its is sparkling and glittery and covered in pink lights. Perfect.

Happy Christmas you guys!

**this marks one year exactly since I redid the website completely yay!!
