Friday Four Fill-In Fun Blog Hop

This Friday I've decided to join in on the Friday Four Fill-In Fun Blog Hop over at Hilary's blog, Feeling Beachie.

This week’s statements

1. Despite the fact that I should know better, I still always fall way too hard too soon for guys.

2. I play with my hair when I am worried.

3. I always forget song titles but remember who sang the song.

4. Napping is the best!

Fill in The Blank Friday- Holiday Edition

So, I'm not in the Holiday mood at all yet so I thought this might help.

1. The Holiday spirit is very slowly creeping up on me. Slow...ly. Today, in fact, I listened to one entire Christmas song in the car on the way to the gym. The month of December really just got here too soon and I'm not ready for it at all. I plan on doing a little Christmas shopping tomorrow. Wish me luck braving the mall! To me the Holiday spirit is really about giving and appreciating those people around you that you care about most.

2. The holidays are incomplete without my family and friends. Of course there's also yummy food, the incredible Christmas music, the colder weather, the bright lights, the fun decorations, tall Christmas trees, and the colors red and green everywhere.

3. My favorite things to do around the holidays is finding the perfect gifts for everyone. There really is nothing like knowing you hit it on the nail. I love knowing that the person is going to be so delighted with whatever you picked out. I also really enjoy baking around this time of year.

4. A holiday tradition my family and I have is going to a movie on Christmas Day or the day after. My parents, my sister and I loved going after the food in our bellies settled on Christmas night. Now, my sister and I continue this tradition on our own. We look forward to picking out "the Christmas movie" every year. It's our time to just be alone and be sisters. Not sure what this years movie will be yet. Got any suggestions?

5. Holiday music is wonderful. I love it all. However, I can't handle it too soon. I'm usually only good for about two weeks of it. So, yep, I still won't succumb to those all day Christmas radio stations quite yet. A couple of my favorites are "Last Christmas" by George Michael, 'Wonderful Christmastime" by Paul McCartney, anything off of Natalie Cole's Christmas album, "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas" by Vanessa Williams and so much more.

6. This year, I'll be spending the holidays in the bay area with my sister's family and her sweet in-laws. It's always been very nice and drama-free. Since my parents passed away, Christmas will never be the same for me but I am blessed to still have loved ones to spend the holidays with.

7. Holiday wish list: Can I put my dream music job on this list? That, the 10th season of 90210 and another small bottle of Nina Ricci perfume will do just fine. : ) What's on your list this year?

Friday Fill-Ins: HAIR

As you might be able to tell, this Friday's Fill-In is all about hair! Love it! Thanks to Erin over at dailee tidbits for the idea!

1. My last haircut was in August. I go way too long in between hair cuts but I am trying to grow my hair out now. I do need to go in pretty soon to rid of these annoying split ends that seem to love my hair. My hair is also very thin so I never like to get rid of hair on purpose.

2. My most daring hair moment was when I decided to go red for the first time about 8 years ago! Yeah, that was such a crazy decision but one of the best ever because I ended up absolutely loving it. I love being able to have red hair. I think that another daring hair moment is whenever I decide to get bangs or get a lot of layer. I'm never 100% sold on those ideas.

3. A hairstyle I'd never be brave enough to try is to shave my entire head or just even go super short. I think pixie cuts can be so cute and pretty on some girls but sadly, I do not have the face or the body for a short, short hairdo. Maybe one day.

4. I've always dreamt of being a (blonde, brunette or red-head): I've always wanted to be a natural red-head. I'm so jealous of several of my cousins who were lucky enough to have that. I have always thought my natural brown hair was so boring so I enjoy being able to dye it whenever I need a change. Highlights can be a lot of fun too.

5. My go-to hair do is: long and straight down. I love my flat iron! I can sometimes rock the curly look too with a little product. I also like to put my hair up in a cool way and then throwing on a head band. I really enjoy hair accessories but they do usually take some effort and a little extra time.

6. My biggest hair disaster: While living in Myanmar, Yangon (aka one of the most humid places on the planet!) I thought it would be cool to get bangs one summer. So, I came back to Myanmar after being in super dry and hot Arizona all summer and those bangs turned into an absolute nightmare! They were curly and wavy all over my forehead-not a good combo at all!! Ugh, it looked awful! Thank god, we didn't take a lot of pictures that year. My yearbook photo is terrible enough. Thank goodness, I can't share that picture with you on here. : )

7. A hairstyle I am dying to try is anything fun with braids. I love all braids, french braids, simple braids, fish tails, anything.. I think they look so pretty and effortless usually. I especially like a single braid that wraps around the head. I'm not good at doing them and have yet to find anyone who is. I also love working with flowers. Thankfully, my roommate has shown me how to do that well.

8. My best hair day was Wow, I don't know. I don't think I've had the 'best hair' day yet. It would be great to be on my wedding day... But I don't know.. Generally, I think I manage to have somewhat good hair days but nothing spectacular or too special.

9. The worst hairstyle I ever had was again, when I had those bad bangs in Myanmar. My hair type combined with that weather were not a good mix at all. I do have bangs now and I think that I've been able to make them work here. Right?! Haha

10. My hair is: naturally very wavy and has a mind of it's own. Every day is a different hair day. Some days it's curly and fun and other days it leans towards being frizzy and crazy. I never know if it's going to cooperate with what style I'm attempting. I have learned that my hair does not like to be washed everyday. I know that I LOVE living with a professional pin-up who owns plenty of colorful wigs, they are a ton of fun wear!

Friday Fill-Ins

Today I learned about a new post idea, so now introducing "Friday Fill-Ins". Feel free to use this on your blog as well. I learned about it from a new blog friend who I'm now following, Kt Moxie, May Bite If Provoked.
Enjoy!

1. The sky is cloudy with a threat of rain and wind, so I'm feeling cold and pissed that I moved to Los Angeles for this. It's been rainy and overcast ALL WEEK! : (

2. My bed is comforting to me.

3. I always thought I'd be married with at least one child by now. Boy, was I wrong!

4. I couldn't believe how much I could see in the dark house and then I went outside to look at the full moon.

5. And as for the weekend, tonight I'm looking forward to babysitting a sweet 17 little girl named Hannah, tomorrow my plans include a 9 mile training run in the morning, a lunch in Anaheim with two friends I haven't seen in forever, then a Temper Trap concert at night and Sunday, I want to sleep in, bake a little and figure out my Halloween costume.
