today i’m stoked that it’s friday!  i have lots on my to-do list this weekend and christmas shopping better go down because december is just flyinggg by.  actually, this whole year has just flown by.  seriously, where did 2011 go??  i swear i say that every year though.  my family is coming to visit on thursday for 10 days and i. cannot. wait!  i have so much to look forward to this month and i want it to go by slowly so i can enjoy all of it!  happy weekend!


night out in waikiki.

for scottee’s last night on the island we had a night out on the town in waikiki.  first stop: rum fire, a really fun resort lounge that has live music and an ocean view.  we both had mojitos — passion fruit for me, mango for scots — and they were sooooo good.  like so good.   definitely want to make a trip back there asap.  then we got dinner.  scottee had watched food wars earlier in the day while i was at work and it had her craving a burger.  so next stop was cheeseburger in paradise.  that was super good too.  then we walked around and got starbucks (for the 20th time during her trip).  and pretended we were tourists by taking millions of pictures.  my specialty.

cousin time.

scottee and i had such a fun time during her visit.  she left super early this morning back to santa barbara and i am sad to have to get back to reality.  we did a lot of eating, beaching, movie-watching, talking, laughing, and coffee-drinking.  i love love love time with my cuz.  miss ya already, scooter!

peppermint mocha milkshake.

now that it’s been at least a week from the most indulgent eating day of the year, i think it’s about time to indulge some more!

reis has been crazyyy studying this past week for a huge test that he has this morning (say a prayer for him, will ya?).  that means he’s been having lots of late nights.  that also means the boy needed some serious coffee to stay awake and burn the midnight oil.  i decided to be a good little girlfriend and made him a super delish holiday sweet treat infused with caffeine.  i present you with the peppermint mocha milkshake.  blend the above ingredients and voilaaa!

it’s a tradition.

every year for the past 6 years, it has become a tradition that my high school girlfriends and I go to starbucks the day after thanksgiving.  i looveee this tradition because 1) my best friends are involved and 2) coffee is involved.  and what’s not to love about that combo?  this year after we got our peppermint mochas we took the party to heather’s house so we could play with baby logan!  heather & janelle made us a really good breakfast too.  it is quite a perk when your friends can bake really good food and then they let you reap the benefits. (thanks guys!)  i really hope this tradition continues until we are really old cause it is definitely one of my faves.
