Champagne Showers
I just got back from Vegas yesterday and I am EXHAUSTED. The trip was good- tiring but good. These trade shows are seeming to blend into each other more and more. HOWEVER.. I did see LMFAO perform at the Club Marquee in the Cosmo on Monday Night (Party Rock Monday's) and it was one of the best times I have ever had. Champagne Showers and more Grey Goose then I think I have ever seen in my life.
Im heading to NYC on Sunday for the week for work and all this traveling is starting to get to be too much. I am so tired of the airport all I want to do is relax for a couple weeks and not have to fly!! But i guess this is what I signed up for.. and if I want to be a millionaire, I guess I gotta put the hours in now. I work hard to party hard and I am hoping that it puts me in a position where I never have to rely on anyone else (aka as man) to support me. All the great things I have in my life right now are all mine and its exciting and liberating when you think of that. Although having a mate that has the same drive and ambition also isn't a bad thing..then in that case we can take over the world together :)
Group Text sessions have been getting out of control and I missed girls night on Monday which always is a bummer. Kelly made an amazing orzo salad and BOMB cookies that I couldn't stop eating yesterday. I love my girl friends so much and feel SO blessed to have them in my life, they never waver, always have my back.. and no matter how messy things get its nice to know that NOONE or ANY bullshit will ever come between us, even when people stick their noses places they don't belong.
In case anyone was wondering, when you change your FB over to time line all your privacy settings go out the window, which one wouldn't normally have to worry about.. then again there are so weirdo's out there so for the last couple days I have made every outlet of social media private. Which is unfortunate, but prob better off in the long run. My future employers don't need to see me parting on NYE or getting down with LMFAO in Vegas.
IM thinking about taking my blog to tumblr.. but I don't know how easy that is going to be.. Ill have to have kelly help me figure it out.
well thats all for now, there are a lot of things I want to talk about but Ill save them for later.
OHHHH and Also:
Thanks :)

MERRY CHRISTMAS BABIES!!!
I finally got back to CA after spending such an amazing week in Boston/NH with my family and closest friends. As we get older the holidays are WAY more about spending quality time with the people who love you unconditionally than what is wrapped under the tree. But don't get me wrong ( i LOVE my new David Yurman hoops)
I spent the first few days in Boston catching up with besties and my sisters. As an annual tradition we have people over at the Condo on the Thursday before Christmas so I could see all my dolls. Kathryn brought Peppermint Patty shots, that started off as a good idea, but then I got ahold of the whipped cream after TOO much champagne and things got a little out of hand. I got to see baby brother Dane and his friends which always makes my heart feel so full and happy.
Christmas Eve was spent up in NH with my family and first cousins (Patrick and Jonathan) on my Dad's Side. P&J live up in San Fran so we hardly get to spend time together so it is always a pleasure when we get to see each other. Christmas Day we went to NA to see our closest family friends ( I shouldn't even call them friends, they are our family). Tony made home made ravioli and I CANT even tell you how deeeelish they were. The best part of the trip was seeing my babies Charlie (who is the BEST big brother) and the twins (Isabella and Lucca). Isabella is probably the happiest baby i've ever been around, and Lucca, who is a diva just like her auntie Whitney. I feel so lucky lately having all these new babies in my life, they are just so precious and make you feel like the amount of love that people dream about.
I also got to see some close friends who were recently engaged and spend Meaghan's Birthday with her so that always makes you feel so happy :) We went late night bowling.. AND WHO GOT A STRIKE?? ME!!!!!!
NYE is just around the corner and I am trying to think of what my resolutions are going to be for the year. I want them to be the best yet.. even though I don't know if I've ever kept any of them. I do think its a nice time to reflect though on things about your self that you are maybe not 100% thrilled with, and whether or not you decide to change them on Jan. 1 the idea's never go away and hopefully keep you motivated to do more. I do think that 2012 is going to be a great year for me. I need to learn to take things a little less serious and really appreciate what I do have. Things don't always go the way you want them too, hearts get broken, dreams get shattered, feelings get hurt, but in the grand scheme on things, those heart aches, those mistakes, those decisions bring you to the next chapter of your life. I know it sounds cliche, but if you don't stumble and fall and have the courage and strength to pull yourself up.. you will never be happy. You cant put your happiness in other peoples hands because 9 times out of 10 they will let you down. All you can do is own your life, your problems, your mistakes, your happiness and realize that its part of your journey, not anyone elses... and the end result is more than likely something that will exceed your exceptations ten fold.
Lastly, one of my sweet pea's Emilie is pregnant with what I know will be a perfect beautiful angel baby girl. I cant wait to meet her Em & I can't wait for your wedding. I love love love you.

fly, fly, fly..
So here I am sitting at the LAX streaming wireless from my iPhone with glass of pinot noir to my right, valium to my left, and my new headphones on my ears listening to Jay Z and I figured now is as good as time as ever to blog seeing as though my flight doesn't even leave for another hour.
I tend to always take the red-eye when flying back to Boston or to the East Coast in general and normally I am more social at the airport bar ( Gladstones to be specific as I normally always fly Virgin America or Jet Blue and they are both in terminal 3 at LAX) Today though I am the creeper on the computer with her headphones on shutting out the rest of the human race.
Traveling has always caused me minor anxiety, mainly because those close to me know, I have severe flying anxiety. It hasn't always been this way and I cant really pin point the time in my life when it started. Unfortunately, I think that some of it came from September 11th. Its not that I think anyone is going to hijack the plane (well, I would be lying if I said it didn't cross my mind) its more just the feeling of being completely out of control of what is happening while I am 3,500 in the air.
My father always tells me I have nothing to worry about..I can't even tell you how much he used to travel when we were younger, he lived his life on airplanes busting his hump so my brother and sisters and I could have stuff we probably don't deserve. But I still can't seem to ever relax unless I succumb to a self medication coma of wine and anxiety pills.
Which brings me to my next point.. Its amazing how many different types of people one can meet in an airport bar. I have met designers, doctors, marines, mothers, fathers, sisters, brothers, business men/woman, college students, college professors.. etc etc. For one brief moment in time you become a part of someones life that you will likely never see again, yet a lot of times you don't forget the encounter. I can't recall every conversation I have ever had at the airport, as I am in an airport at least four times a month lately.. but it really is an experience that you don't really ever have. Knowing the conversation you are having at the point in time with the person to your left or right is only for right then, and the chances of ever speaking with them are VERY slim to none. So what makes people so friendly? Is is knowing that it just this 30minutes, because lets be real.. I am never this nice to strangers? Ever...
This blog is honestly just a ramble and probably doesn't make sense as I am not going to proof read it and I am two glasses of Pinot deep.
Lastly, I am unimpressed with people being sketchy and finding things to fight with people they care about with and in ANY way bringing it back to me. Its time to grow up. everyone. and become adults and face problems straight on instead of finding other ways and other people to blame things on.
Well, wish me safe travels!!! and VERY merry christmas my wittle chickens.

Tis the Season
Hi Babes-
Im sitting at work trying to pass the last 1/2 hour in the day. I am currently tripping on DayQuill and am having an EXTREMELY hard time typing/thinking about anything else other than a glass of warm whiskey and bed. Being sick really is the worst, although I feel pretty fortunate because I have been traveling like a crazy person lately and am only now getting sick.
I can't believe the Christmas is right around the corner. Honestly, WHERE does the time go? Every year it seems that the holidays approach faster and faster and you have less time to enjoy them. This year was the quickest of quick and it feels like you can even appreciate them.
Family was in town for Thanksgiving, we headed down to stay at the Ritz in Laguna Beach. It was nice to be around them, but as any person from a large Irish family knows, exhausting as well. I hadn't seen my baby brother Dane in what feels like AGES so it was good to be silly with him and catch up on what is going on in the world of a wittle college baby bruddah.
I was in NYC last week to meet with some of the new team from AMEX, its always nice to put faces with names that you talk to and Christmas truly is a magical time in New York.
Last weekend was Addies Christmas Party in San Diego. Her company rented out a warehouse space in DT SD and Addie and a few of her coworkers set the whole thing up. I honestly can't express how impressed I am with her and her craftiness, she has this ability to be able to look at a space and transform it into exactly what she wants. When I get married, she's doing the whole wedding. Here are a few pics of our outfits and our amazing headpieces that Addie hand made for us.
In other NEWS, Katelyn is moving to LA at the EOM, she is even moving into my apartment building. I think I convinced her when she was down here for Halloween. People tend to have a hard time saying no to these baby blues :)
Work is going well, I have FINALLLLLY made a couple friends, one especially who likes Bit-O-Honey's and Mike and Ike's. Its nice to have people to talk too during the day because at always it makes it go by faster and just makes you feel like not a complete idiot for eating lunch by yourself all the time!
Lastly, BMAC had his babbbbbby. Baby Charlie MacDonald, and he is the CUTEST WITTLE BABY EVER. I just want to squeeze him all the time and make him eat Good n Plenties. Ive been seeing a lot of BMAC lately.. and people who know me and read this blog know why..but I would rather see the baby than BMacs face!
Heres hoping that Ill be able to post once before I got to freezing boston for 7 days for Christmas (WHAT was I thinking??)
