HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

Got back to Utah yesterday to finish most of my moving before I start the moving to LA. It's crazy that I will be a LA resident in 6 days... CRAZY! I'll try to do a fun post here in the next couple days once things start to slow down. But here is my baby girl doing what she does best.... relaxing and posing. :)

 

 

 

Also I would LOVE comments from you guys and what you want to see!

Special Shower!

Been busy the last couple days! I was able to do our company's last flight to Guaymas Mexico and got free tacos... Free tacos is always a good thing :) They also had their firetrucks spray their hoses over the plane as we left as a special farewell. I sometimes get alittle loud on my flights and yelled "carwash!" as we went through... I thought I was funny so thats all the matters. Here are some pics and I will try and do a fun post once I catch up on some sleep. BTW met Jamie Foxx today and he is way hotter in person.. just so you know :)

 

 

 

Fire trucks getting ready to spray us down

 

I know they look mean but they are super nice even though they hold huge guns.

 

And this is the crazy person who is flying your plane.... jk

 

Fun little things...

Ahh.. the life of a flight attendant... One minute you are planning on going to Des Moines for 3 days and then the next you are taken off the trip, left with nothing on your schedule.  So, I decided to go get my hair (dark burgundy, I've been loving the deep red color lately) and my nails done in a fabulous fire engine red.

 

 

With the rest of the day free, I went thrift shopping in Downtown Phoenix. And leave it to me to find my new favorite shop a week before I'm suppose to move! One of the shops I went to today was called Antique Sugar. They seriously had some of the most beautiful vintage pieces I have ever seen.

 Here are some of the pieces that I found .

 

1940's Fun beaded hat

 



 

1940's Light Pink Silk Nightie

 

1950's Bright Yellow full skirted dress

 

And my favorite of all... a 1950's ankle length evening dress. Seriously, the picture does not do it justice and I almost dropped the $400 for it....

 

Even though I didn't buy any clothing items, I did find something that I have been wanting for years and just haven't been able to find....

 

An Asian to go Purse! I am in love with this! It was stashed with random other objects and I almost skimmed over it!

 

 

Then headed over to a shop called Gertie's. It didn't have a big selection of clothing but I did find a little gem in the back of the shop, a 1950's diner! If you are looking for the best Pumpkin Pie milkshake, this the place to go.

 



 

Thrift store shopping is one of my favorite things to do and I was pretty happy with the items that I did purchase. I think I spent a total of $25 for 2 purses and some 1950's hair pins that had never been used.

 

 

 1950's brown leather bag ($8), Asian to go Purse ($12) and my hair pins ($5)

 

But sometimes I just can't help myself...

 

 

Anything pink and studded, I go weak in the knees for... Also a pic of the Schwinn J got for me :)

Little Nugget :)

It's nice to be back in Phoenix, one of the 3 places I call home. My other 2 being Utah and Pasadena with scattered belongings here and there. But in Arizona I have some possesions that are out of a suitcase. So I like to try and do "homey" things while I'm here. I was able to sleep in one of my beds, which is a huge luxury for me and I seriously get excited about. I did the pay bills and clean apartment thing and then decided I should do some cooking while I was here. I love anything with cheese and eggs so I decided a quiche would be perfect! I can mind my way around a kitchen but am no cook. Please keep this in mind when you look at my recipe. :) Sooo here is my super easy recipe...

 

Bacon and Cheese Quiche
Premade Pie Crust
5 eggs
1 cup milk
1 cup mozzarella cheese
1 cup sharp cheese
3-5 crumbled pieces of bacon
Salt and Pepper, to taste
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Mix eggs, milk, cheese and bacon together and place in pie crust. Cook for 40 - 60 minutes or until knife inserted in middle comes out clean.
What did I tell you..... easy peesy!

Well I'm off to finish enjoying my day home but here are some random pictures I couldn't help but put up.

 

 

Cock and Bull Ginger Beer soda and our hulky man

 

 

Some of the decorations from my Farewell party I can't take down

Presents I got from my party. My new favorite cards, travel notebook for all my random thoughts and a travel journal.

 

PS.... Now for the most excited news of all! I'm going to be an auntie and I couldn't be more excited! This is the first baby/grand baby in the famliy, so we are all so excited to meet baby nugget! (That is the name I came up with that HE will always be stuck with!)

 

Isn't that the cutest little nugget profile you have every seen!

 

House of Blues

Last night was an epic night and I was able to mark something off of my bucket list! We were able to scored some tickets to Nikil Korula band at House of Blues. Of course I had heard of it but never had the chance to go. We have some great friends we were able to go with, dance, chill and drink. Once I live in LA, I think House of Blues will be one of my new hang outs. I absolutely loved it and it had such great energy last night. I have heard from many sources that everyone in LA is stuck up and rude but the crowd last night was so fun and welcoming. Everyone there was just there to have a good time. So it gave me a little bit of hope that being a "transplant" won't be that bad.

 

Dinner at The Hook. Their sweet potato fries are so good!

 



House of Blues

Outfit for the night. Bustier top in leapord, studded bag, jeans and black wedges. Also of course the signature pomp.

 

 

 

PARTY TIME! (Say in Borat voice)

It's been another insanely busy week for me so sorry about disappearing! The week started out hectic with me doing a 2 day trip going to Palm Springs, Burbank (I had just left that morning mer...), then to Santa Barbara and Tuscan. I was at my apartment for the night then had to go to recurrent ( job testing) for work the next day! I'm still employed so I guess that means I passed! HAHA! I was so stressed.... seriously it wasn't even funny. The night before I was going to hunker down in my hotel room and study to make sure I had all my bases covered. But my parents surprised me at the hotel and took me out to Tucano's to wish me good luck. (Did I mention that my mom is a flight attendant with the same company I am? AND I am totally going to try and fly with her when I move out to LA! Mother-daughter team!) I was pretty proud of my self for not doing the meat service (hehe) but I did the salad bar.... I waddled out of there. My little sister was also in the process of moving from Provo up to Salt Lake and had all her stuff and bed in her car, so I made her come have a sleep over with me since I had an extra bed in my hotel room. I seriously love my little sister, my pikachu.  Only with her can I be the big geek that I really am and she loves it... and yes we totally played "no more monkeys jumping on the bed".

 

The next day, dreaded Recurrent day, ended up not being so bad. I tend to overstress and over think everything.... yes, I am a Taurus. Within the first 10 minutes, 3 flight attendants were sent home for not having the correct paperwork. So for the rest of the day there were just 7 of us. We moved on to CPR and Emergency situations. I had studied the ones I thought they would quiz us on the the night before, but just my luck, my emergency scenerios were on aircrafts I have never flown before...... the 700 and 900, 2 flight attendant planes. I'm used to just working on the smaller planes by myself. The first scenerio was choking baby on the flight and after a time or 2 of really whacking that baby ( dummy hello! i would never just go around whacking babies) we were able to get the "gum" out. My other scenerio was a slow pressure leak in the cabin. Thankfully we were able to identify the problem early on and reseat passengers away and passed that one too!! Boo ya bitchs! The rest of the day flew by with doing emergency evacuations and fire drills. As nervewrecking as it was, it was good to go back and do hands on training and get some refreshers. SO people! If you fly with me, just know you are in good hands and I can save your ass!

 

OK, now on to the fun part of the weekend. I have some of the best friends, wife ( friend I live with) and room mate ever in Arizona. My room mates planned a big 2 day farewell party for me! What made it even more special for me is that everyone who is important in my life there was able to make it one day or the other, including J! He never has any free time to come out so it was amazing having him come out and finally meet everyone, even though it was the last party. The first night, we went out to downtown Scottsdale and went to one of our favorite places, Gilligans. It is this badass pirate bar with a "little person bar" inside. There was also a big block party going on outside too, so lot of socializing and games. We ended the night stopping by a dance club called The Firehouse and danced until the wee hours of the morning. Let's just say we didn't go to bed until 4:30.... Did I mention that my wife was locked out of the apartment for 3 hours while she waited for us to get home.....

Beginning the night with Kings Cup

Me having fun with glow sticks :)

My buddies Rafa and Becky (roomie)

J and me up to no good.....

 

The next morning, bright and early, we were up and getting ready for the pool BBQ.  We picked up more drinks, and wife and roomie made tons of food. We spent the rest of the day lounging,eating and playing more kings cup.

 

The Gang!

J, me, Haylee (wife), Drew, Rafa (my sexy venezualan), Chad, Clint, Gina (hiding), and John and Becky (roomie) is taking the pic.

It was an amazingly fun weekend and I am so lucky to have such good friends. They might not be too happy about me leaving but love me enough to come and celebrate this new move in my life! I couldn't have asked for better friends.... I will seriously miss them!

 

 



IN-N-OUT

I am thoroughly enjoying my time off. I love California and think of it as one of my three homes. The other 2 being Phoenix and Utah. But I'm nervous about dulling moving out to LA. I just need to keep reminding myself that it will all work out. Now on to one of my favorite other things about Cali.... IN-N-OUT!

Bandana Tutorial

While I have a bit of down time, I figured I would make use of my new scarfs I picked up from Unique Vintage in Burbank last time I was here. I had only ever shopped online but J surprised me with a trip to the shop. I was like a kid in a candy shop and have been saving every penny so that I can go back and pick up some of their dresses. The scarfs I picked up are leapard and red with white polka dots.

They are absolutely beautiful and I'm seriously in love with them! Did I mention that J got them for me for that makes them even better. I've worn the leopard one before to an art showing matched with my black pencil skirt and a pink shirt.

 

SO I figure since today is going to be boring, ( I have to study for work :( ), I would get dressed up and wear my red scarf! I have people ask me quite a bit how I do my bandana hairdo, so I took some pictures while I was doing it.

Start by folding your scarf/bandana in half.

Fold the folded end up about 1 - 2 inches, depending on how wide you want it.

 

Fold again 1 - 2 more times.

(Fold second time)

At this point you will want to fold your previous folds over itself. I find that this step eliminates the excess material on the sides when you are putting it on.



Fold again until you have one long strip.



Then tie around your head! Easy as that! If the ends are too long, just tie them a few more times until they are the length that you want!

Top shot. My ends were too long for my liking so I knotted then 2 more times.

 

Little view of my outfit today. Black ruffled top dress with the red scarf.

 Here's another little tidbit for you. I love how J saves all the little things I send him. A few sexy postcards, a pic of our matching converses at Disneyland, an extra pair of my wings, and a pinup poster we like to think is me.:)

 

 Let me know if you have an questions about the tutorial or if I didnt make sense! Have a good day everyone!

Boba!!

Got done with my trip today and couldn't be happier. Something about doing 7 flights today just wasn't fun. Was able to get most of my moving done, a majority of my stress. So, it is time for me to relax and spend some time with my boy. Lets just call him J...

He knows how to put a smile on. My face. After seeing how haggard I looked, the first place he took me was to my favorite boba place, Honey Boba!

 

Salty city and Palms

3 days down, 1 to go! Today kinda wiped me out, but I guess 5 flight in a day will do that to you. They all kinda blur together and you can't remember one flight from another. I do genuinely love my job though. Yes, it is crazy and hectic but you get used to it. I feel antsy when I'm at home for more then 2 days so I guess I am ruined for life and need to constantly be traveling!

 

My room with a view in Salt Lake City

My Breakfast, Pumpkin Spice Latte mmmm

The floor in my hotel in Palms Springs

Brought along my trust stead on this trip. Got to my planes alot quicker, thats for sure.

 

 

San Luis Obispo and Clouds

Sometimes, I start those weeks where I just hope I won't get called out on a trip, and can lay by my pool and enjoy the rays... But was truly happy when I got called for work with this trip! 4 day trip with stays in San Luis Obispo, Salt Lake City and then Palms Springs the last night.
San Luis Obispo is probably one of my favorite places in the world. I loved being able to sleep in late (9am) with my balcony door open, sea breeze blowing in. Had a huge breakfast with my crew and decided to work off the calories with a walk on the beach. I was really enjoying myself, watching the seals and whales ( SERIOUSLY!! SOO BADASS)  when a rouge wave almost took me out and put sand in some very unpleasant places. Which makes me think... I don't understand the fantasy of having sex on the beach... Anyways, it's so nice to get away from Arizona's 100 degree + weather and away from the the stresses of moving. OH! Did I mention that I got a transfer to Los Angeles?! I have been wanting this since I started this job and am so excited to have family, friends and boyfriend nearby.
