Plum Poifect.

Happy Wednesday wednesday wednesday (echo echo echo like Al Roker) from Borat (he loves Wednesdays)!!!

See that hair?? Appetizing huh?? I did not eat it, I promise, I saw before I gobbled this down!

Had to get past this locked door before I could get out in the sunshine! Justin locks me in every morning like he thinks someone is going to steal me away before I wake up at 7:30 :) Am I the only one who thinks this is cute??

Let's be honest, he's really protecting our flatscreen. CRIPES.

Oh to be young and in love….

Wait a tick! How did that get in there?! You're welcome Kara.

Then it was off to get jacked at the gym with Jorge! He's a super energetic trainer who take a few lines of coke before every class, I swear. I can't keep up with him, he does everything soooo fast!!!

This is how I feel about it:

Deranged Easter bunny. Donald, you were the only person I know that totally fit this role.

After some house work, e-mails, etc. I took a break for leftover luncherooza:

This makes me so happy walking into my kitchen everyday…

Can you tell what it is?!

Chalkboard of cheer! Don't laugh, this is seriously as good as my cursive gets…11-year-old boy writing, I know.

If you're wondering about the interview today, I'm not really sure what to tell you. Most recruiters are either friendly to everyone or stone cold Steve Austin to everyone, and I couldn't read this one.

I did my best answering the questions, but have no idea how I did or what kind of chance I have!

I may have to bust a cap if I don't get a call back, but as Chuck Norris so nobly states…."Violence is my last option."

Chuck Hagan (it's my dad! but look at that scowl!!!)

The interview lasted an hour and 20 minutes too! Phew! I needed a pick me up after I pooped out all my nerves and adrenaline (kidding…kind of)…

I headed to my last capstone class of the semester today, then made this dinner for myself!

I had to wipe off some of the mayonnaise mixture, but it was really good!

Seems like people always get a bit rude around Christmas shopping time. If you are a Christmas scrooge because of the long lines, bad traffic, stresss!!! you know, the like…Clark and I have some videos to share with you to make you happy and believe in humanity again in such a busy time! :)

Aaron Griswald. How perfect is that??

I wanna be a zoologist now! This little girl is seriously inspiring.

Uhhhh, I LOVE this. Soooo sweet.

The rest of the night, I plan on working on my presentation for tomorrow ( it never stops folks, never stops), watching Modern Family, and enjoying some snacks including this bowl of apples and plums!!!

 Mmmmmm… it's just plum perfect, just like my sweet blazer/pencil skirt combo below.

And I'm Veronica Corningstone, thanks for stopping by San Diego.
