Back in Vancouver and I'm loving it

Hello friends! I've been spending my days in Vancouver eating, sleeping & shopping. What a perfect combination :) Christmas was lovely, despite me being a frantic and disorganized cook - somehow we managed to pull off a Christmas Eve dinner that was edible but in no way worthy of the feast we had at Jordan's family's place on Christmas Day. (Thanks Auntie Pauline!)

So I thought I'd share my personal highlights of Christmas:

Merry Christmas & Happy Holidays Everyone! 
I hope you're enjoying time with family & loved ones this holiday season!

Upgrade


I caved. I finally made the upgrade. I switched over to the new iPhone 4 and retired my old faithful iPhone 1. I've had that phone ever since I moved to NYC 3 years ago. Woah. I've been in New York for 3 years already?! Time does fly by...

I was holding out for the white iPhone 4 which is supposedly being released in Spring 2011 after much speculation...but I could not wait any longer. My phone was literally slowing down on me. Apps were crashing, calls were being dropped every now and then (is that you AT&T?), google maps was slow as hell and I just couldn't take it any longer. So over the weekend, I got myself a new phone. Just in time to head home for the holidays to make my brother jealous :) 

I've got 1 more day of work to push through which involves being at Grand Central at 8:30am tomorrow and then I'm home free to catch my red-eye to YVR. See you in Vancouver & Merry Christmas!

four is for fun

SOURCE: LE LOVE

Today, we officially booked our flight & hotel for Buenos Aires for January 2011. How awesome is that? It makes for a perfect way to end the Sunday night on our four year anniversary. We had some friends over for a pot luck party tonight. We ate, we danced, we laughed, we ate and danced some more. We love the new Xbox Kinect & Dance Central. It would make any party extra fun, especially when you see your friends move their hips in ways you could never imagine. HA!

It was an awesome night :) And its all thanks to good friends who are good sports & great cooks and to my partner-in-crime who just happens to be the host with the most. I ruv ru. xoxo
