Twirl Your Mustache.

I work with the children at church, and I love it. Yesterday's lesson topic was on preparing now to be a mother or father. Each of us made a "Mustache Promise;" promising what each of us would work on today in preparation of parenthood. The kids were so excited to have their own mustache. Their comments were hilarious.

One boy that's eleven said, "What if I already have a mustache?"

{He does, so I couldn't stop laughing.}

Another girl said, "I look like Mario."

{She didn't but, her brother did. The laughter ensued.}

Happy Salmon Day!

Happy Thanksgiving!
The Yazzies had such a wonderful, simple celebration.
We started our day with a delicious breakfast at IHOP.
Bryan had stuffed French toast, and I, the strawberry hotcakes.
We had such a divine brunch laughing and thoughtfully chewing.

We prepared the feast together, but Bunnie did 3/4 of the work.
What a great guy right?! He cooks amazing potatoes; every variety.
The food turned out terrific, and the leftover are wondrous!
I was obsessed with the culinary textures. The menu was as follows:

1. Sweet Potatoes
2. Mashed Potatoes
3. Pecan Encrusted Salmon
4. Corn Bread
5. Baked Asparagus
6. Stuffing
7. Sparkling Cranberry
   
8. Pecan Pie
9. Pumpkin Pie
10. Home Made Whipped Cream

During dinner Bryan and I mused over what we were/are grateful for.
The underlining theme; family, friends, our jobs, residing in California,
our fortitude of cozi-tude {flat} music, acting, Soba, religion,
laughter and our amazing marriage. We are dang happy and in love.
How was your holiday? Are you still celebrating? Lucky you!

Words To Live By.

A woman that I completely admired lived her life by these words. Her list inspires me to improve and prune my own life, and allow a personal renaissance to begin. Lisa, you touched so many lives and your legacy continues to perpetuate. {click on image to enlarge.}

Macarons: The Addiction Continues.

So, I bought myself a few.

Then gobbled them up with a fury.

Why do they make me so happy?

In the Spirit of Thanksgiving;

I am thankful for finding macarons this year.

{Thanks for the introduction Katie!}

All Dressed Up.

Bryan purchased Soba a top hat. It is the holiday season after all. Why is this so stinking funny?

Coat Check; Thanks Napoleon.

Remember my secret wish to own Napoleon's Coat? {here.} Well, I found a female/modern answer to my wish. I feel like I need some vintage war medals on the lapel however. I'll work on it. Perhaps E-Bay? Or a costume shop? I found the Jacket at Forever 21 for $38. Not bad. I don't feel like I'm ready to conquer the world literally, but perhaps I do figuratively. Thanks for the inspiration Napoleon.

Truly The Happiest Place.

Yesterday we went to Disneyland with our friends. We had such a fun adventure. This trip was my most unique visit to date. We rode just a handful of rides but completely enjoyed the Christmas spirit that wrapped 'round about us. New experiences for me:

1. Captain Jack Sparrow's presence in the Pirates of the Caribbean
2. Ice Cream at the sweet shoppe
3. Dinner at the Blue Bayou Cafe!! Amazing food and atmosphere.
4. Space Blasters {I beat Bunnie!}
5. Safari Boat Ride
6. Tom Sawyers' Island
7. Experiencing the wonder with my bunnie

The few pictures I took are barely indicative of Disneyland. But, in truth I was too busy eating and laughing to take my regular photo shoot liberties! Post Script: Doesn't Rachel look beautiful with her shaved head? She is a beautiful, brave woman!
