paris.

i don't know if it's because i have cabin fever or what.  but i'm daydreaming again.

ever since following jordan's temporary move to paris, i've been salivating over my own potential parisian dalliances.  the food, the streets, the fashion, the museums, the gardens.  i mean, the probability of it actually ever happening is, like, zero, or more like, negative, but seriously.  wouldn't it be awesome.

dreams.

via paris in four months.

paris is a far cry.

but you know what?  hawaii isn't.  and i'm kind of just as obsessed with hawaii.  for different reasons:  the beach, the air, the attitude, the life.  problem is, my husband has a great career going on here that doesn't give him the option of being anywhere outside of LA.  wah.

have you ever just picked up and left to experience something new somewhere new?

i just want one year of living in any one of my dream cities.  is that lame?  irresponsible?

anew.

it's 2013.  can you believe it.

a part of me is sad 2012 is over.  and more specifically, the holiday season.  but 2013 is going to be a brand new, exciting, crazy year.  case in point:  baby in my belly.

i've never been too much of a stickler for resolutions.  i mean, shouldn't every day be a day to accomplish something?

ha.  yeah right.

but here are some big ticket things i have my eye on for the year.

1.  travel.  hubs and i agreed early on that we want to expose our child to travel as soon as it makes sense to take him around.  it'll be a different type of experience, and hopefully a happier one.  i'm ready.

2.  career.  do i go back to work or become a stay at home mom.  ideally, i want to go back to work.  but then again, i'm bored out of my mind right now.  things might change after he's here.

3.  personal.  last year, i jumpstarted the year with the goop cleanse.  this year, i think we're going to aim for a healthier lifestyle overall.  make some use of my gym membership.  cook more.  sign up for a 10k.

what decisions or changes do you plan to make for 2013?

projeck.

i love hawaii. it's my happy place. always.

so in tribute (and because we just got back from there), i decided to dedicate a polaroid project entirely to our time spent on the islands.

i have a polaroid camera... but i refuse to spend $150 on a 30 pack of film. instead, i downloaded poladroid and started digi-roiding the hell out of all my pictures.

after a couple of fights with my printer and my cheapo paper cutter, this is where i'm at.

next step: mounting the pics on something (what is that something).

and then voila.

p.s. totes gold nail polish.

suave.

puerto rico. land of mofongo and rum. lots of rum.

it takes a bit of travel from LA, but it's a nice getaway destination nonetheless. sun and water can hardly ever be wrong.

virgin.

my liver can't be right because of all the meds i've been popping, so non-alcoholic dranks this trip it will be. whomp whomp.

to start, a virgin mary.

hallo, sun.

hotel.

arrived in puerto rico 12 hours ago and have been cooped up in my hotel trying to fight the last bit of this nasty cold. 2 times room service and as much of khloe and kourtney kardashian as one could possibly take. (not that much.)

three cheers for hbo go. and game of thrones.

freal.
