12 days


12 days until I land in Los Angeles, CA
(this count down is probably going to be popping up for awhile until I'm home..)
Stephen is peeing himself he is so nervous/excited

I plan on spending the weekend day dreaming about palm trees and white sand beaches,
while watching countless episodes of Gossip Girl
(I JUST started watching this show...so late to the game)
Here are some AWESOME ladies to keep you entertained
(two of which I know in REAL life)

*************
Debbi-Jo...
I cannot say enough amazing words about her..
I thoroughly  enjoy reading her blog..
she has a real talent for writing with her quick wit,
sarcasm,
and raw honesty.
She is a MUST read.
I mean, just read her about me below..
c'mon.



Around my blog, I'm pretty popular for a few things. 
Mostly for my cats. 
Everyone is always emailing me, "When will you send your cat to me? 
The fat white one?" 

And I'm always like LAY OFF PHOEBE. 
SHE'S FAT BUT UNMAILABLE. 
MOSTLY DUE TO THE WEIGHT PROBLEM. 

So anyway, you're waiting to hear who I am, and what I'm all about.
Although at this point you're like, OH GOD IF IT'S ANYTHING LIKE THE ABOVE
GET ME OUT OF HERE.

I'm 24, hate the term "newlywed" (but I am one),
 lover of all British period things (INDEED, SIR) 
and 
I want to give you some real professional-level help to get ahead on my blog.
The kind you can only get from someone who went to community college for five years.
I'm the one you've been searching for.

A beginnings course on marriage, blogging, bff break ups and my mini biography.

I BID YOU GOOD DAY, MADAMS.

Chantal and I went to high school together,
and we were actually friends,
not just strangers passing in the halls.
Although she was a little out of my league with her incredible book smarts
(this didn't happen for me until college..in HS i was too busy sleeping in and forging my mom's signature on absent notes)
and she was in with all the student council people
(the rulers of our class)
This all paid off for her because now she is an actual attorney.
a hot attorney.


"Hi! My name is Chantal (aka B).  I know the nickname doesn't make sense, but it will if you go to my blog (wink wink).  My blog is all about my move from SoCal to SF and now my life in the city.  It was recently given a little facelift so now it's easy on the eyes.  I have two little sidekicks (my pups B&B) who make plenty of guest appearances. I went to high school with Megan and I like junk food almost as much as her.  Clearly our small town produces blogging geniuses so if you like her, come check me out! (Disclaimer: i was not a model before an attorney- my pics are mostly awkward and embarrassing, unlike gorgeous megan's)."


*********

Chanel and I also know each other outside the internet
We have mutual friends in LA who make their money by being good looking and talented in front of the camera.
Yet both Chanel and I have taken different paths (away from the spotlight)
which is probably how we ended up reconnecting some 7 years later via blogging.
Her blog is full of beautiful people and things..
herself included ;)


Hello Across the Ponders! Like Megan, I am a native Californian. I was born here, raised here and I am lucky enough to still live here in a small beach city of Los Angeles with my adoring husband. I am inspired by the creative and ever-changing world around me. My shoulders shake when I laugh and my man finds it hilarious. If something, especially dessert, has fleur de del (sea salt) in it, I can't wait to get my fork in it. My nails are almost always painted, it makes me feel put together even when I'm not. My mom says I was bald until I was three and I am determined to make up for it now. I grew up playing, and still play, soccer and volleyball and while continuing to work with families whose children have learning disabilities (my UCLA degree is in Psychology) I am also in the process of obtaining my certification to be a Pilates instructor. I consider myself a realistic optimist and I am dedicated to finding and CHOOSING JOY in every aspect of this journey called life. 

If you're a friend of Meg's, you're a friend of mine so come on over and stay awhile!

  3. I can't wait for your America trip, also! Is it weird that I am most excited about Stephen trying American bacon? I mean, he's going to DIE when he finds out how good it is. And then he'll tell all his friends and they will all convince everyone else to switch to crispy bacon. And then Americans everywhere will rejoice.

  10. Going home is always exciting! Do you have a to-do list for things you absolutely have to do before leaving the UK? Mine is usually 90% food when I go back to the US from Japan :)
