2008 was a rough year. I went from happy newspaper part-timer/billabong full-timer to newspaper full-timer/billabong part-timer and just when I thought I've found my career niche now I'll be back to newspaper part-timer/billabong full-timer. I've changed my health insurance 3 times (4 of you count the three months I was on COBRA). My boyfriend said he was going to move back to Maui in May to end up only coming back 2 weeks later to finish school then move back to Maui for good in October. I paid $60 bucks at the gas pump to fill up my '99 Camry. And the worst part was losing my dear Grammsy.
I know, I know, my year could've been way worse, and I am grateful for everything in my life that didn't go wrong. It's just that overall, it was a pretty crappy year. The year wasn't a total waste I did get to see Chris Breezy in concert, fell in love with Gossip Girl, went to my first Birthday Bash, voted for Barrack Obama, my Project Runway pick finally won, got a blackberry, saw HSM3 in theaters, and whoa did Lauren and Heidi actually have a civil conversation last week on the Hills?!?
I'm SO ready for 2008 to be over, only about 14 hours left. Time for a new year and a fresh positive start.

"Isn't there anyone who knows what Christmas is all about?!?"
"'8And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night. 9And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them: and they were sore afraid. 10And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people. 11For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord. 12And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger. 13And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying, 14Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men.' That's what Christmas is all about, Charlie Brown."
Nothing gets me into the holiday spirit more than curling up with my Linus van Pelt blankie (really! it's an official Linus blankie, look for it at urbanoutfitters.com) and watching "A Charlie Brown Christmas." I actually watch the special year-round (gives me the warm fuzzies during spring showers and the summertime slump). If you don't own it or haven't watched it yet, YOU ARE MISSING OUT! If you can find it comes in a holiday three pack with "It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown!" and "A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving." two other great Peanuts classics.
One of my favorite scenes in "A Charlie Brown Christmas," is when all the kids are dancing. Look for the twins, they're hilarious. Watching it now, I didn't realize how much I didn't understand and catch about the show when I was little. Schulz's subtle sarcasm and jokes, as well as the true meaning of Christmas, I only now fully understand as an adult.

Not just any old scarf
It's here! It's here! FINALLY after what has seemed like FORRREVVVVERRR and a day, American Apparel opened in Waikiki this week! Just in time for you people to buy me birthday and Christmas presents, haha j/k sort of!
I went in looking for a dress, but left with the best investment EVER, American Apparel's Unisex Circle Scarf. SO AWESOME both Anna and I bought one, Anna got a lovely lavender color and I opted for the classic navy blue. It can be worn in SO many ways, I literally spent an hour and half, entertaining myself (as well as my roomies) with the different ways of wearing it. I tried to do most of the examples on the handy card that came with the scarf, let me tell you that turban look isn't for everyone. Right now, as I type my circle scarf is keeping me warm at work, I'm using it as a shawl! I hear they're selling like hot cakes. (I wonder where that saying came from, was there a time in life when hot cakes were THAT much in demand and were selling out at diners everywhere?)
