Punxsutawney Phil Sees His Shadow!
Ever since I was little I loveddd Groundhog Day. I don’t know why… so weird, I guess I think groundhogs are cute. I remember my Dad would teach my sister and I how to spell his name, Punxsutawney Phil, and every year we’d run to the newspaper to see if he saw his shadow or not. Anyway for those of you who have better things to do than follow groundhogs, I thought I would let you know that today he saw his shadow which means 6 more weeks of Winter!
In case you are not familiar with the tradition of Groundhog day, here is a bit of info about it. Every Feb. 2 thousands of people gather in Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania to see if a groundhog named Phil sees his shadow during a ceremonial event.
According to this weird German tradition, if the hibernating groundhog sees his shadow, Winter will last six more weeks. If not, Spring comes early. But many people wonder, how reliable is Punxsutawney Phil?
Given 2010’s brutal Winter sweeping the nation’s middle and Eastern regions, it might be safe to say that this Winter might be on the long side, buttt then again, Punxsutawney Phil’s guesses over the past 15 years have been about as reliable as a coin toss.
Either way hes cute and it’s a fun tradition to follow. Happy Groundhog Day!
Cute Valentine’s Day Gift Ideas & Quotes ♥
I love ♥Valentine’s Day♥, I don’t know why because every year I have a crappy one, but I still love it 
I also love quotes and wanted to give you guys a few to think about or add in your Valentine’s Day cards or crafts. People have asked me what to get their Valentines this year and since Valentine’s Day is about expressing love, I think the best gifts are those that show how you feel, crafts, pictures, flowers, letters etc…
♥Guys: Here is a TIP on Valentine’s Days, girls want to hear how much they mean to you. She would take a hand written card/note over a big gift any day! So this year plan ahead, make your Valentine something special that shows effort and emotion. Ewww emotions, I know. Frame her a picture, make her a Valentine, write her a nice card letting her know the top 10 things you love about her (For me I would need top 100 ) Plan a fun date night for the two of you, doesn’t have to be fancy, girls just want fun nights with you. Valentine’s Day is about love, not money.
♥Girls: Guys want to feel loved and cared for. Make them a nice dinner with all his favorite foods and booze. You know all those things he begs you to do that you never do every other day of the year? Do them today. Pretty simple. Think back to something you’re always saying NO to, whatever it may be…and today say OK 
I also think guys secretly like flowers. Girls, you can get your guy flowers too, chances are he’s never had them and let’s be real, who doesn’t love flowers and a nice card.
Ok now for some of my favorite L♥ve quotes to get us all in the V-day m♥♥d:
Love is all you need.
Love is the condition in which the happiness of another person is essential to your own.
Best Limo Rental in San Diego, Premier Limo!
This past December, my grandma turned 80 so my mom thought it would be fun to plan a surprise birthday dinner for her. We rented a limo and had dinner at Mr. A’s Downtown. Minus my sister being a total brat and arguing with me over what chorizo was, it was a really fun night!
I was in charged of finding a limo for the 8 of us so I set off to google I went in hopes to find the best deal on a limo in San Diego. I remember my friend Hugo being the go-to limo guy, so I asked him what deals he had, good thing I did because he was the best bet in town. In comparison to the other companies, his company Premier Limo, was significantly lower… Almost half off what other companies were charging. Plus every other company I called was super snappy and rude, take it or leave it sort of service. Hmm that’s not gonna work with me.
We had a bit of a mis-communication about what I wanted at first, but their staff made sure it was corrected and to my liking. They went above and beyond to make sure I was happy, which is rare considering I am a handful
We ended up with a 2009 Lincoln Limo, pearly white, decorated with the cutest pink balloons and decorations. The limo was in great shape and the driver was very friendly. The inside had tv’s and a dvd player which we showed a cute slide-show on. Perfect set up. Pretty much whatever you say goes which is how it should be when planning the perfect event.
They have tonssss and tons of styles of limos to choose from… party buses, Hummer Limos, Escalade Limos, motor-coaches, vans, town-cars, whatever you need they have and I guarantee it will be cheaper than anyone else in town Just a helpful little tip for the next event you’re planning. Wine tours, birthdays, bachelorette/bachelor parties, anniversaries, Vegas trips, so many times I need cheap limo service, now I have it. Thanks guys for a great night.
Oh and they also have a PINK limo! Beyonnnndddd obsessedddd. I want that next, so cute for a girly event! Bubble Gum Escalade, only one on the West Coast and only 4 limousines of its kind in the US! SO so sooooo cute.

Happy New Year?
So it arrived, the big NYE of 2010… I was all ready to hit up a Hollywood Hills mansion party with some of my fave friends, prepped for days, hair, nails, shopping, you know the usual girl maintenance before a big event. We all were super excited that we’d all be together at a low key party, no crowds, no lines, just a yummy dinner and open bar with friends. Perfect night or so we thought…
Where to EVEN begin…
First of all I drove my half broken pos car to OC to get ready for the night. At times I caught myself going 60 in the fast lane in fear that my car would possibly blow up. Anyway, I finally arrived, spent 2 hours painting my face on and curling my hair, all to get a call from Jo that the party address had changed. Wait what? I was on my way out the door to meet them, how is the address just now changing at 7pm??? And what if Jo never called me? People would just show up to the old address? Yikes, red flag #1

Happy Holidays!
The holidays are officially here! Enjoy your weekend with family & friends! Just wanted to say Happy Holidays to all my favorite people in the world
And on a side note, there are tons of Holiday things to do here in San Diego! I am going to go ice skating in Coronado with friends, I can’t wait! Here are a few other things that seem really fun if you are looking for things/ dates to do!
1. Ice Skating at Hotel Del Coronado- Coronado is sooo cute during Christmas time, a must do date. Sorry boys, lace up the skates and have fun on this ice rink, hey at least it has an ocean view!
2. Poinsettia Bowl Battle of the Bands- Tons of high school and college bands will march the streets of Downtown San Diego to perform.
3. Del Mar Holiday of Lights- What is more fun than seeing all the cute holiday lights!? The Del Mar Fair is the largest animated, drive thru light show on the West Coast! If you really want to annoy your boyfriend, take him on a holiday hay ride klasjdsakdl.
4. The world’s largest LEGO Christmas Tree will be shining at LEGOLAND and one lucky guest will get to light the tree each day. They will also being shooting off fireworks each evening between Christmas and New Years.
5. Keep your eye out when driving along I-5 for the largest Christmas tree in Southern California at Sea World. They too have a number of events to celebrate the holidays.
6. The most picturesque holiday light display will arguably be at the San Diego Botanic Gardens in Encinitas. Over 100,000 lights will glow throughout the gardens. Starting on December 10th, the Gardens will be open until 9PM and will feature a different live music performance each evening.
I will add more options as I find them but that is a great start
La Puerta Tequila Bar
So the Monday before my birthday a group of us went to La Puerta for my early birthday celebration! I love La Puerta, especially on Monday’s. Why Monday’s?
Because EVERYTHING is half off, well not everything but ALL drinks and appetizers Best deal ever! I think our tab ended up being $40 bucks for our half of the table (Before we closed it out and started a bar tab of course) So if you ever need a fun after work happy hour La Puerta is the place to go, especially on Monday’s! I’ve written about it before also. Click to read all about La Puerta here!
We got yummy Quesadillas, potato rolled tacos, the best guacamole ever, margaritas and of course all the shots my friends bought me, Thanks to everyone who came, was a fab bday dinner, and thanks to Merritte for saving us a seat!
Turning 26 in Sin City!
Vegas has got to be crazier than ever, I don’t know if it due to the economic crisis or what but I love being a girl in that city! I ended up spending $30 bucks this entire weekend and $20 of it was on gas to get there. Remind me again why I live in San Diego, where bars tell me I have to pay $20 bucks to get in, all to then pay for all my own drinks?
A group of me and 5 of my fabulous friends packed our bags and headed out to Vegas for my 26th birthday and for once I had a flawless Vegas trip! No drama, no fights, no crying ha ha, I actually left sad. Usually on Sunday I am like get me the helllll outta this city but we almost stayed another night simply because we did not want the weekend to end 
We ended up staying at the Mirage for free, the hotel pretty much caters to groups of girls, literally anything we needed they took care of. Bottle service, fancy dinners, cabanas, lunches by the pool, all free. It is a total win win situation for everyone…they want groups of girls at their events, and we’re cheap and want everything for free. Best trade ever!
