rookie status.

my first week at my new job went a little like this...

-on my first assignment, i emailed out the wrong logo to my co-workers. what a great way to start off.
-i burnt a bag of popcorn in the office kitchen, which in turn stunk up the entire office and my boss thought i was burning the place down.
-my boss caught me playing solitaire and browsing us weekly. can you blame me?! they didn't give me any assignments.
-i transferred phone calls to my co-workers without asking if they wanted the call first. my mistake.
-i left my wallet in the second floors bathroom by accident. someone delivered it back to me a couple hours later. all my money was intact. praise the Lord.
-i came in late on my third day because i had a doctor's appointment that i couldn't miss. again, not my fault.
-my office is pretty casual, so on thursday i wore a more casual outfit. one of my co-workers said, "Wow, you already came down to our level". I think that was a compliment/approval?!
- i was asked to order liner bags for the recycle bin on an office supply website, i ordered 100 bags for $260. ya, i thought it was a little steep, but i did what i was asked. when my supervisor got the receipt she said that they were WAY too much. i canceled the order. i said those were the only ones i could find,  after about 10 seconds of looking, she found some bags for $50. i'm still a rookie.
-i put one of my co-workers coffee cups in the dishwasher when in fact he was just looking for a refill. oopsies. 

who wouldn't want to hire me?!

i start my second week tomorrow morning, hoping this week is a little better than last. wish me luck :)

the birds and the bees.

so normally when i go for a walk in the morning around my neighborhood, i plop in my headphones, get a rhythm going to see how fast i can get home and get done with this exercise,

but this morning it was different.

fall weather is the perfect temperature in the morning for a walk, not too hot and not too cold.

as i was turning the corner of my neighborhood, i noticed this BRIGHT yellow bush amongst the leaves that are turning into autumn colors.

in this yellow bush were about 10 or so bumblebees that were pollinating all the petals.

i stopped my feet in my tracks, pulled the plugs out of my ears and

just watched the bumblebees do their magic.

it sounds cliche, but it was such a great reminder of God's goodness and wonder in nature. i think from now on, i will stop and "smell the roses",

or look for those bees again because it put me in such a great mood.

here is a picture that i took from my phone of one of the bees. and no, this is not edited. the tree was really that BRIGHT.

sitcom maniac.

the fall line-up is always fun.

abc really knows how to pick 'em.

what shows are you looking forward to watching?

orange tones.

i love fall in new england.

i am definitely looking forward to this.

a fairy tale ending. again.

tonight i had the honor of shooting some of courtney and freddy's

"second wedding"

they got married on july 18th, remember?

since my sister and court's grandma could not attend the wedding, they decided to have a "VIP reception" in order to have everyone included. the reception was at the hyatt in huntington beach. here is a sneak peek of some of the "picniked" photos.

trip up the coast.

my mom and i drove up the coast to santa barbara to spend some qt with grant and ahnika.

on our way up, i visited my old pal, d. kiyoi at smashbox.

he told me some secrets about reality t.v., we reminisced about discovery class at gordon,

and ate a delicious salad in culver city.

always good times with this man.

if ever in santa barbara and looking for a place to stay.

venture to this hidden gem located on the famous and fun, state st.

the newly renovated chic hotel is known to be the "h&m" of motels. i think i agree.

this was our room.

make sure to rent these bikes (for FREE) and take a ride down to the beach.

lay out on this vegas like sun deck.

don't forget to visit the johnsons

...and for those of you bachelor fans, make sure to make a detour to

2351 Kanan Road in Agoura Hills to see this hidden spot.

so much magic has gone on in this house.
