Winter Break

For the first time in my life, I was paid while taking a winter break, which was the cherry on top of a pretty good year.

As much as I love making money to sit around in my Forever Lazy, sometimes it makes me feel like a waste of space. Luckily, there was a wonderful balance of Lazy-ing and playing. Here is what happened over break in a nutshell (which unfortunately ended too soon on January 3):

I saw babies:

Okay, Bowser's not a baby, but he's just so cute!

Went to Disneyland:

Made beer that I will be bottling soon:
Mr. Beer

Went to my dear friend Heren's wedding shower...
Wedding shower Wedding Invitation
...where I received the cutest, craftiest wedding invitation I have ever seen and ever will see.

Found out later that night that another dear friend got engaged!!
Anna's engaged!!
Here's the story: We were told Anna would be late to our annual secret santa dinner/gift exchange because she was having some kind of "family emergency." When she arrived, Wendy asked how her family emergency was. Anna, sternly, says, "I don't know.." and sticks out her arm. Our immediate collective reaction is, OMG Anna's mom beat her! which she would totally not do, but since none of us have had to make this announcement before, Anna being the first to get engaged, this seems to be a more logical explanation for her making this gesture. We then noticed the amazing vintage rock on her finger and proceeded to make a bunch of congratulatory loud noises (aka FREAKING OUT) that disturb our neighbors at the restaurant we are having dinner at. I was her secret santa but all my gifts were completely overshadowed by the news!

I also did some barhopping in DTLA with H.C., Andy and Connie, which is when I came to the conclusion that my sister is a hipster hoarder. That was pretty much my break!

Happy 2012!!
