weekendsaretheshazz.

SATURDAY NIGHT!
i'm sitting on my cozy bed, in my cozy room, in my cozy new american apparel hoodie. :) it's the first weekend in a while that i haven't had to work so.....i'm really living it up. hehe 

today consisted of laundry, cleaning my room, target!, video chat with the WHOLE family, & dinner w/ Kendall Bear. all of which, made me very very happy. it's cold out, and i am liking the idea of the 6inches of snow the family got in tennessee, (hence the picture of the snowman and ollie dog my sis created). soooo i'm pretending that i'm snowed in too! movie night and painting my nails sounds good for the near future...

as for upcoming fun-ness in my life, IGOTANEWJOB! one that i have been intently praying for and being patient to find. in other words...it's perfect! i worked with a very admirable makeup artist for the SAG awards last weekend and we really hit it off. she has a cosmetics line called rosie jane cosmetics (rosiejanecosmetics.com) and is very successful. it just so happened that she needed a part-time sales rep/assistant and guess who she hired?? ME! i start on monday! words can't even describe the excitement. it will be such great experience for me at this time in my life. plus, it makes my mom and dad very proud, which in turn, makes me really happy. plus, i am still able to freelance as i please. i am fortunate. super di-dooper! :)

in the meantime, going to make some coffee and proceed with my saturday night festivities. keepitrealyo. xx, lyd

new year is happy.


sooo...i have made a promise to myself that i'm gonna be better about this blogging idea. :) i want us to be good friends. so, i'm saying 2010 equals a new leaf! 

thus far, the new year has been quite delightful! spent new year's eve in tennessee with my beautiful friendsies and was anxious to get back to california to work (and play). i love that fresh new feeling of motivation after i've been at home for vacay a couple of weeks...it excites me to get back to the left coast and attack my work. as a freelancer, it's allll about my self-persistence. since, i've been back, i have been very lucky to get some great jobs! including, a 4 day fashion/talent competition in beverly hills, doing a little makeup for the golden globes and sag awards, and coming up is a possible job for a mastercard commercial for the grammy's! -gotta love award season. it's encouraging to know january is crack-a-lackin. :) the weather is crabby with lots of rain and dreary days but, with probably 80% of the year being sunny and happy...i secretly LOVE these drizzly days. 

missing my foster family each and everyday but i survive with [much too] frequent phone calls and [wayyy too] many photographs in every corner of my room. :) 
currently: drinkinghotraspberrygreentea. & onthecouchwithmyroomies. loving on this tuesday night!
