I am obsessed with movies that somehow involve snow or Christmas,
I drink hot chocolate at least twice a week,
and when my inbox is flooded with Friends and Family deals. :)

Not that you can tell that it's winter by the weather, the sun manages to break out almost every single day.  Winter in Los Angeles looks kind of like fall.

I love the colors and messes that leaves make around our neighborhood.  It's such a sharp contrast to Irvine's immaculately manicured, green lawns.  I'm sure my neighbors would probably disagree with me on that one though.

My Thanksgiving week kicked off with a drive down to San Diego.  I got to see Diana and her colorful crew (Naruwan Taiko) during one of the weekly Taiko class she teaches at the local Taiwanese center.  I sneaked a few shots while working, and walked out of the class slightly deafer but with a great deal of respect for what it takes to learn Taiko.

Don't try this at home!

I also had some yummy grub at Tea N More, a.k.a. Diana's second home.  I also tried their mapo tofu but it was so spicy I walked out of the place crying (all the while trying to hide it). :P

This was a constant sight at Jana and Chris' house, Buster underfoot.  He looks up at you and wags his tail and makes it impossible not to pet him, as he very well knows.

I also had partial college roommate reunion at Eagle Rock at Cacao Mexicatessen, for more nontraditional Thanksgiving week fare.  One of my old roommates Kris wanted fideo soup (pictured below), which vaguely reminds me of Chef Boyardee.  I really liked their hot cacao.

The rest of my week passed by in a blur of meals, friends, desserts, and more meals.  The result of which is clearly evidenced by our sideways "growth."
