okay, so i am bored in Spokane where it is approximately 23*F outside!! and maybe down in the basement guest room, too. so jealous you are in beautiful so cal... anyway, for candles you should try Illume. I am always on the hunt for them. I love these (they are available at Nordstrom right now in holiday scents)...

I was just looking at your blog, when my phone buzzed because I got a new email, and the email was a notification of the comment you left on my blog. Crazy eh? I was actually just thinking that I needed to see you while we are here in CA. I just got down to my in laws house today, so lets meet up sometime PLEASE?? I will definitely change your header on your blog when we get our computer set up in NYC since I dont have the program here. Please call me tomorrow or Sunday or Monday...whenever. Maybe we can come over for a little Sunday visit or something! Let me know!

P.S. I too love that candle, but there is nothing better than the volcano candle from Anthro. It smells so good and last so long!

Beautiful gal you are! I love your favorite things. Last night Matthew was so excited to tell me about you and your picture with Petros (sp?). His dream is to go to that restaurant. I'll need to be reminded of that come June for his b-day. He'd be in Heaven. Happy Christmas to you!

loved your blog today. We're all thankful you'll be ooming home soon. Brush up on your Christmas trivia cause there's a big game here on Christmas night to decide what # you get in the gift game.Be safe it scares me how many accidents during this time of year. Everyone stay off your phones and pay attention. You can't drive defensively if you're on your phone!
