First I must get this off my chest! I have been coveting this Felix Rey Santos Snake Clutch FOREVER! It has been on my Shopbop wishlist for like 6 months! And I waited patiently for it to go on sale, and before I knew it….GONE! It was completely sold out in the white/gray color I wanted. Then like magic it reappeared in my wishlist last week, for $160!!! YES! $160 from $325!
I thought to myself, “It’s a MIRACLE!”. I have been checking it and checking it almost every day to make sure it’s still there, and there it was patiently waiting for me to take her home. And now today when I decide to pull the trigger, *POOF*! It’s gone again. 
Can you just see the pouty face I’m making right now?

Ok I’ve vented, moving on!
So on Thanksgiving morning Will went to play football (turkey bowl) with some old friends. It’s been a tradition between him and his friends for years, but he’s missed it the last few times, and really wanted to go this year. Will LOVES football, as much as he loves chocolate cake!
The aftermath…
Will's swollen ankle
Besides twisting his ankle, he was in a lot of pain (he paid for it the next morning), his shirt was torn to shreds, and he had scratches all down his back! It was a tough start to his Thanksgiving day. But inspite of the war wounds, he had a fun time. Boys. Go figure?
Mochi couldn’t have been happier about his day playing football. She made his grass-stained shorts her new bed for 2 days!
Mo gettin cozy in daddy's dirty shorts!
and the next day…
11/27/09.....all day!
All in all my 4-day weekend was pretty low key, no big family hoopla, no get together with friends, just a quiet time spent with my mom, Will and Will’s family at his sister’s house. The next day I slept in and Will and I spent time with my dad, sister, and step mom. Saturday I tried arranging a brunch with some girlfriends from high school in our home town of Benicia, or “B-town” as I like to call it, but a few were unable to make it because of family commitments and/or being out of town. But I did grab a cup of Starbucks’ Peppermint Mocha with Ange while out and about. I hadn’t had any of their holiday drinks since they’ve come out, and had been craving one! I love their eggnog lattes too! Yum! I had a little bit of family drama during my time off, but I have come to terms with that now. And honestly it’s a bit of downer, and rather not elaborate on it. No “Debbie Downers” over here!
Pearls of DE-liciousness!

Sunday Will and I spent the day doing errands, laundry, stocking up on household goods. We went to the Pacific East Mall to pick up a few bags of rice, I eat rice with EVERYTHING! And spotted a pearl tea drink stand, and had to have one! I came to find out that Will has never had one!? I know I was shocked too! How do you live in the bay area and never have a pearl tea drink?? Well this was his perfect opportunity to try one! I was hesitant about getting his with the tapioca balls, but it’s not a true pearl tea drink without them right? So I ordered 2 honeydew (my favorite, next to lechee) flavored ones.
As I held my breathe while he took his first sip and anticipated the stinky face of unpleasantness after swallowing his first tapioca ball, he says, “It’s not bad.” That in Will language means, it’s good. Yay! Success! 
Didn’t take any pictures during this time, but I promise there will be some soon!
Ok, tomorrow is officially the kick off to all the upcoming holiday festivities! Christmas parties for work, friends, family, New Year’s eve!!
Have you picked out your party dresses yet??
