Happy Holidays

It's getting close! Only three more days till the big event (depending on if you open presents on Mon or Tues. that is). Brokencandy would like to extend a happy holidays greeting to all readers. Hope you have a wonderful holiday with your family and friends!!

The hub and I decided to celebrate Christmas in Los Angeles in our new home. To help us get in the spirit, we decided to go shopping and get some new decorations. When we were in Michigan last month, we visited BRONNERS (the largest Christmas themed store in the world). We decided we wanted our tree to match our living room so we bought everything in teal and somehow our tree took on a peacock theme as well. In addition to teal and peacock items we also have some old fashion ornaments that we bought and of course a few oldies from as years (i.e. like the Christmas Monkey). Everything we bought was in two's so if you come to our house and find the three items that are not in two's, you win a prize!!! One of my favorite decorations is the "Two Peas in a Pod" decoration.

When we visited Sanger for Thanksgiving, Santa Rusca contributed more teal/peacock themed decorations to the cause. The first week of December we visited the local YMCA tree lot and bought ourselves a six foot tall tree. We had fun decorating it into the wee hours of the morning with all of our decorations from Michigan and Sanger. The pics below were taken a while ago but now we have presents under the tree so it looks even more inviting! Thanks to our momma's for contributing to our decorating tree fund!! I think it turned out sooo pretty! Brian and I can't wait for Christmas in our new house!!

Sadly, my Disney decorations had to take a break from appearing on the tree but they are still out of the box decorating the big window in my dining room and my Tinkerbell topper is now topping a bottle of wine but she still shining her light each night!

Vaccine Part 1

As a little girl I would look on my mom’s arm and wonder why she had such a weird mark near her shoulder. A few days ago, as the warm solution penetrated my bloodstream, I started to cry remembering my mom’s mark. The nurse asked me if I was okay and I told her I was so incredibly happy. As a diabetic I was stressed never knowing if I was doing enough to avoid it but also, keeping some semblance of life in doing outdoor things. I cried because I am incredibly grateful to the SCIENCE that made this possible in only a year. Less time for me to worry about my only kiddo should the worse happen.  If ur on the fence...I’ve worked in entertainment for over 20 years and I’ve seen first hand how easy celebrities influence the public.  Some do good and others well...I’m happy to have a little bit of the gracious Dolly Parton with me.  Scientists on the other hand, very rarely get the recognition for their years of study, years of research and expertise contributing to (wo)mankind....

7th Birthday

Mark ur calendars, Dec 12 is an awesome day to go to Disneyland! There was no one at the park yesterday morning. We had 3 amazing hours 8am to 11am to ride! Some Disneyland records we set yesterday:  ✅A After many years, we finally got a wristband (and bought) a giant Disneyland candy cane.  ✅F First people on pirates of the carribean.  ✅ Line for Indiana Jones was 10 minutes long  😳  This never happens and we sat next to the people (strangers) who sat next to us on pirates b ut we did not walk over to the ride with them. ✅ By a fluke, we were also the first people on Big Thunder Mountain and kiddo rode in the cart by herself! (They opened late and we were in the right spot) ✅Kiddo  rode front seat on Matterhorn because a kind guy, his first visit, said he was too tall to sit in front and she wouldn’t be able to see sitting behind him ✅ Prode space mountain for the first time and huffed that it wasn’t scary and it was no IncrediCoaster. And the line...

How Was Your Weekend?

Does a Monday morning ever go by without someone asking you how your weekend was? I got to work and was bombarded with the question and this week I didn't have a thing to say. Didn't feel good the whole weekend so we did nothing except managed to go grocery shopping, make a trip to Target and watch several epsiodes of Quantum Leap and Battlestar Gallactica. I found that when you don't have anything to say it's good to have at least a change in your appearance to deflect the pitty looks for not having done anything on your weekend. Luckily, I had a new hair cut and color job so I was able to skip the fact that I didn't have any exciting plans to report. Last week I awoke with that I can't this hair anymore attitude and booked an appointment. I went back to bright blonde as opposed to darker blonde with brown streaks I had for the wedding. It was refreshing to go get your hair done after spending the weekend in pain. Luckily for me, the new hair color must hav...
