Sin City

Sorry for the lack of updates, it's been so busy around here.

I'm leaving for my trip in about 3 hours! I'll be waking up in Vegas, and my brothers will be taking me to In N' Out (for that fancy grilled cheese!) effective immediately upon arrival. :)


I'll be hanging out in Los Angeles, Seattle and Portland over the next couple of weeks. Oh my goodness, I'm so excited! I daydream and wait every year to go home, but I'm going to miss my husband terribly. But I can't wait to see my family!

I have a few guest posts lined up. I'm so anxious and thrilled to see what my lovelies write! I'll try to update here and there. Hope you have a nice week.

Much Love Monday: July 18, 2011

Happy Monday my friends! :) Thanks for writing to me, and liking my page on Facebook! I even got a nice email. Shucks!

Here's what I love this week:

1. "Secret" menu-
Okay, I'm really looking forward to going back home to good old West Coast, USA! Las Vegas.
If you've ever had the pleasure of eating at In N' Out Burger, they serve the most amazing grilled cheese sandwiches. And if you're
"in-the-know," you can get it "animal style" which is basically grilled onions with a special thousand-island like sauce! You can even get animal style fries w/ cheese! It's not on the menu board, but trust me, they will know what you are asking for.

Yum. Yum. Yum. I will probably ask my brothers to take me straight there after they pick me up from the airport.

I have major dress envy! From here


Also,
Vern posted the rest of her Gossip Girl styled photoshoot.

I'm also visiting Portland, OR for the first time ever! Do you have any suggestions of things to see, places to eat, shop etc?

Fly To The States

It's been a crazy day and crazy week. Medical emergencies (not me), heavy work volumes, projects due and deadlines looming. In order to cheer myself up, I booked my trip to visit home in August! YESSSSSSSS. It may have been a bit presumptuous of me, but it had to be done! I miss Las Vegas (and America in general) so damn much. It has crippled my social skills where I just don't connect with anybody. It's something that I struggle with frequently. I'm going through this almost-mid-life crisis, constantly daydreaming about the good old days. In celebration of my trip, I'll have to post some unforgettable Vegas memories.


Chris & I also booked our accomodation for our Wellington trip! Family Cactus and Cut Off Your Hands are playing shows in the capitol city. I'm really happy with that.


This is my favourite band from Wellington singing about flying to the States. So fitting :)

Well, we have a lot to look forward to. We just have to survive through this cold winter.
