December 2008
The bottom strand (of THREE HUNDRED lights) on my tree burnt out. Now trying to muster the energy to replace them. Pain in my f-ing ass.
Awesome hike in Sea Cliff - endorphins are my new BFF. And with that, we’re off to procure some ice cream.

Not only am I hand-making all of my Christmas cards, but I’m also making some of my presents. I’m a bit too Martha Stewart for my liking…
November 2008
Totally spent from climbing. Now brunch in the sun at Atlas…gorgeous day here in SF.
Off to meet @kevinrose at the climbing gym. Nothing is so serious that a little bouldering can’t help fix. Catharsis on the “rocks”
Just appointed 2 curators for my boobs. They can’t touch the artwork, but can admire it & make sure it doesn’t fall off the wall.

http://twitpic.com/p44t - Alas - 3 hrs & Bon Iver, BellX1, and The National, behold: My Christmas tree!
FINALLY about to put on the Xmas tree lights. Besides stupid Christmas music, what should be my soundtrack? Maybe Bon Iver or The National?
Today’s word of the day is “fuckton”. As in: This 8 1/2 ft. Noble Fir has a fuckton of branches. See also: Shitload, bazillion, asslot.
Banning myself from Paper Source for the rest of the season. Just think of my drained bank acct when you get your handmade holiday card.
Up early, and now shopping at the Farmer’s Market & brunching at Market Bar. For my third “Saturday” in a row, this one is shaping up nicely

Kind of elated that today is only Saturday. Kind of also elated that I have the comfiest bed around. Off to the Farmer’s Market in a bit.
At my fave bar that’s playing my fave song with my fave boys. Clearly, I get paid everytime I say “fave”. But it’s true….
Waiting ‘til tomorrow to put the lights on the tree; it’s a multi-hr affair & a nap wins. Next: sushi with @kevinrose @joestump & @meredithh
Leaving @kevinrose’s with two bags full of leftovers. Clearly, my claim of never eating again is a false one.
In opening my Christmas decorations, just found the stocking for my cat Samantha that passed away in March. Wave of sadness all over again.
Homemade holiday card supplies AND 8’ Noble Fir both procured. And now I shall find myself covered in sap & needles for the next 6-8 hours.
Just overheard a man saying “You were a naughty girl last night.” Turned to look-he’s pushing 80, she’s at LEAST 70. Geriatric tawdryness!
It’s that time again for my annual post-Thanksgiving XMas tree-buying sojourn. Grateful to have help this yr- last yr was nearly disastrous.
Even though it’s no longer Thanksgiving, I’m still SO grateful for @lilabelle who let me sleep ‘til 9:45. Playing all day yest wore her out.
Have been at @kevinrose’s for almost 12 hrs, and thus far: Turkey dinner devoured, wine drank, and the awesome, amazing night continues.
Today I have: cooked for 10 hrs, cleaned for 2, gotten out 2 red wine stains & more. Feeling so domestic -who wants to hit a strip club??!
Slightly enamored with our cab driver home. Just got a new fave band as a result (and I don’t even have to smell like incense!)
My grateful Tweet is long overdue: Am absolutely humbled by the amazing friends in my life, those with me now & those afar. So much love.
Just rocked Wii yoga & made a total ass out of myself at hula hooping - burning some calories pre-dinner. No, we STILL haven’t eaten yet.
Just took the turkey out of the oven - still an hour or so before dinner. Video of me basting the turkey: http://vimeo.com/2365809
Turkey is in the oven. Taco dip is made & waiting for football. We’re not eating ‘til 6 so @kevinrose & I are watching movies on Vudu now.
Turkey is in, now off to the corner store AGAIN b/c SOMEONE doesn’t have flour. Really? C’mon…how am I supposed to make this pie crust?
Very rarely do I pull the “girl card” but this former vegetarian made @joestump put his hand up the turkey’s ass. I may have also screamed.
Devouring a red velvet cupcake courtesy of @khartline. She ROCKS…also brought me that epic @kevinrose shirt & the @digg crew beer & LURV!
Making my shopping list. I’m cooking my first turkey tomorrow, and I think I’ll wear this in honor of our host: http://tinyurl.com/582246
…and I win. There are no carts and no baskets. I promise, I’m not shoving the bag of flour down my shirt to steal it, Officer…
While @kevinrose is at Whole Foods getting the turkey, I’m at Safeway getting the other stuff. We should have a “who’s in greater hell”-off.
Lunch at Hard Knox Cafe with the @Digg crew on this gross, rainy day. Gonna eat the hell out of a catfish Po’Boy & some mac ‘n cheese. YUM.
Just remembered I’m supposed to take the bus today so I can ride my Vespa (that’s been at work for a week) home. SOOO not feeling it at all.
Found myself humming “Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas.” Considered self-flagellating, then realized it was only b/c I was happy. Wow.
Thinking today calls for some celebration for many, many reasons. Good thing that’s exactly what I’m doing, in a multi-stage show of awesome
25 websites to sign up to before Christmas →
What if you can’t stand your family, and would much rather be chomping your turkey dinner down in front of the green-ish glow of your computer monitor, instead? T3 pulled toghether 25 sites you…
When I give thanks on Thursday, one of the main ones will be that I finally finished this brain-melting forecasting model. MATH IS HARD!
The puppies are clearly on speed right now - just destroyed their puppy pad! http://www.ustream.tv/videoplayerpopup/channel/317016

Feeling guilty that I’m working instead of playing with Lila & one of her 487 toys she keeps dropping on my lap. Those sad puppy eyes get me
Finally got a new post up on my site. It includes chupacabras, unicorns AND Chuck Bass! What could be better? http://www.aubreysabala.com/
