Brought to you by the letter L, and the number 6

For two weeks! I prob won't write on this much over the break, so Happy Holidays, Happy New Year! Hope 2005 is even BETTER than 2004... maybe I won't get dumped so much... Ha! LL

Oh my god. My little sister is an "adult". She turns 18 today. SHe said she already bought a pack of cigarettes just because she could. She better not smoke them!! UNC moved up a couple places in the basketball rankings this week! Now we're 6. Keep on going boys. My mom said the low was in the 20s in Charlotte yesterday. Ew. Not looking forward to THAT!! I had the top down today! Oy Vey. LL

So NOW my NC trip is a trip all around the Southeast... I start in Raleigh, then go to DC, then maybe even to WV before I go to Charlotte and then back to Raleigh... a lot of freaking driving. Good thing Elle is OK in cars. We'll see. I may have to make some game time decisions... My holiday party is on Friday. I hope people come! We had our film mtg last night at Roscoe's Chicken and Waffles... finallly got to go to the most famous soul food place in LA! Had some good MAc and Cheese and Corn Bread. MMMMMM...carbs. LL

Elle and I have fallen in love with a calico kitten, so we are adopting her after the holidays!! yay! A buddy for Elle. I saw Kinsey over the weekend. Pretty good, but very graphic... Liam was great though. Did the looong drive thru the Griffith Park lights yesterday with Marri and Beige. They were great. That's all. LL

Thank God It's ACTUALLY Friday! Was supposed to go see Life Aquatic tonight, but it looks like it's sold out... we'll see. Maybe another movie... Just made plans to go to the UNC bowl game on the 30th in Charlotte. Should be fun. Tailgating at GC's first, and it IS right down the street from my Mom's... Mark and Beth are going, and Wayne too! Yay! Def gonna take a break from knitting after the holidays, i need a craft change. Have a good weekend. LL

This week is going by soooo slow. One more week to go before vaca. LL

Leigh is 34 today! Whoa! That means 30 isn't too far off for me... never thought i'd ever be 30. That's a REAL adult. I'm knitting a pillow and it's taking much longer than i thought it would.... and i only have 2 weeks left to do it... i set my knitting aspirations too high for the holidays. So feel lucky if you get something knitted from me! It's a lot of work. Having said that, back to work... LL

I tried writing yesterday, but it didn't work... So, I had a crazy weekend. Friday night, we had our big party, which was oodles of fun, and i was very drunk, in a good way. But then the bar decided to renig on our shooting deal, so now we have to find a new location for january... Saturday, after 3 hrs of sleep, we had our yard sale, and it was filled with excitement. There was a fight between two men over the box of porn we were selling. It was crazy. Then later, a tv crew came from A and E's Find and Design, a home makeover show and filmed our yard sale and got lots of footage of Elle in her pink coat. They loved her. Elle is on her way to stardom. I'll let you know when it airs. Sunday was a cold, nasty, rainy day, but i went with Marri to see Bridget Jones. It was cute. Another movie checked off my list... still many more to see. Maybe Wayne or Mom will go with me in NC. LL

So much for rest. I haven't even thought about this thing almost all week. I've been so busy. Phone calls, etc for this film, mainly. Got the party and the yard sale this weekend, so i had to cancel on Amber for Vegas! I'm very sad, you know how i love Vegas. There's still so much to do there, like marry a high roller.... or Britney Spears. Ha. Or no, she's not divorced yet. How about Nicky Hilton? So this thigh trainer thing i got is awesome. i've been doing 5 min a day, what it recommends to start, this week, and i can feeeeeel it majorly. I just hop on in front of the tv and go! I can't stop eating christmas cookies. I have a cookie problem. I was having major PMS this week, but that's over now. thank goodness. LL

Was very sad to return to work today. Made significant strides in my knitting projects over the weekend... got some cleaning and organizing done, got some film work done, and the thanksgiving meal was awesome. I made wonderful goodies... oh that reminds me, i have leftovers to eat. Before we ate on thurs, we made hand turkeys, colored, and decorated christmas cookies. Yay! LL

been a looooooong short week. gonna try to be productive this weekend, but i'll probably end up being lazy. we'll see. i have a lot to do that's for sure. i'm making a peppermint oreo cheesecake for tomorrow, among other things. mmmmmmmmmmm. Happy Thanksgiving. LL

Wow! I have actually had to work work work today. Have not had time for anything else until now. Have not knit a stitch. Not one. Glad it's a short week. My chest pain is gone. That was weird. Saw the new movie Sideways yesterday. It be good. Go see. Gotta go to the grocery store to get shit for thanksgiving tonight. So, with tat and my long day, I'm too pooped to work out. Oh yeah. I hate my hair. I got bangs. Ew. LL

So, i think i pulled a muscle or something in my chest, cause i was up all night with sharp pains in my left chest, and it still hurts. it sucks. guess i won't be working out tonight... but i will be stretching, cause that seems to help some. i have been popping 800mg ibuprofen like nothing you've ever seen. my coworker had surgery and got vicodin yesterday. i'm jealous. mmm, vicodin. oh yeah? well, i have ambien, so nyah. Happy Friday. Another week down. yay, and next week is short. yay! LL

I need to do laundry. I'm hungry. Elle stinks. The new Muppets stamps come out in March and they are really cool. I love my new moisturizer, the Clinique stuff. Another person left my company. I am excited about thanksgiving dinner next week. Those were just some random thoughts. LL

Boo hoo hoo.

Hi all! I am producing a short film and we need money, so we are having several fundraising events in the next month or so... On Dec 4th, we are having a yard sale, with all proceeds going to the film, and if anyone has any money and/or unwanted goods to donate, that would be just peachy. Let me know!! Thanks for your support! LL- Producer Extraordinaire

Yay!! Good thing too, cause I spent a lot of money this weekend! I bought this really cool 50s cabinet for my DVDS though. I love it!! And I got some cool vintage clothes, and a coat for Elle, and some cool makeup and stuff at Sephora! And I just made a Disney DVD order for 20 DVDs! Woo hoo! I am nearing 250 DVDs! And now I have a place to put them. Patrick and I had a fun weekend. We went to the Universal Backlot sale and got a couple of little things from movies. He left this morning. Sad. So, who's my next visitor????? It's like 80 degrees here today! LL

He is a great guest. He is walking Elle for me and everything! Ha! And I just had the brilliant idea to go to Tijuana this weekend... we'll see. The OC rocked last night. But the girls flaked out on craft club. Bitches! LL

I left PR at home with Elle, but he's leaving with a friend tonight while I have craft/OC night with the gal pals. Plans for the weekend are still up in the air... but i guess it depends on what PR wants to do... I just got a cool Elastic Girl toy in my happy meal. Yay! Cause I need more shit. LL
