Thanksgiving Musings....

Happy Thanksgiving, everyone!  I hope you are all spending time with your family and friends while indulging in some mashed potatoes and pumpkin pie.  I will be hitting the Toyota Live stage and then off to a lovely meal with my family here on the West Coast.  If you want to see what I am grateful for today, you will find that list here.

Otherwise, here are a few things I am excited about:

1. Press Day at Disneyland!  Yes, it is my annual trip to see the lights and "snow" at Disney, but at press day, they also serve Rice Krispie Treats the size of my head.  I cannot wait to dive right into that dessert plate.  I will post lots of photos after my December 4th visit.

2.  Happy Birthday to my amazing kitty, Beans!  She's 15 years old and I plucked her from the streets of New York City.  She has followed me from NY to LA to Minneapolis to LA back to Minneapolis to LA and soon to our new home.  She's a chubby and lovable furry family member and I am glad she is healthy after a small cancer scare earlier this year.

3.  This weekend marks the official beginning of Awards season, but there is one movie I am dying to see, Burlesque.  This movie is so wrong in so many ways, but so right at the same time.  It has it all: dancing, music, glitter, sequins, and of course, Cher.  I am hoping it is Showgirls 2.0, is it wrong of me to think that way?

4.  My new rings from a Miami street vendor on Lincoln.  It is vegetable ivory jewelry with amazing striations of color in a big chunky ring design.  The price is also right as I paid $25 for two rings--a lot of bang for your buck.

5.  Tory Burch Reva flats and yes, they were part of Oprah's Favorite Things this year.  I am not a fan of flats, but I am a fan of Tory Burch flats.  They are comfortable, well-made, and they don't make my short legs look stumpy.  While they are an investment shoe at $195, you won't buy another flat again.  This might be my birthday treat to myself this year.


Happy Thanksgiving!  Be sure to share what you are excited about this holiday season!
