Joyeux Noël!

Salut, mes amis!

Right now, I'm sitting in my living room, watching my parents meticulously practice their brand new ballroom routines. It's a beautifully inspiring experience -- the way they look at one another is just *le sigh* adorable.

Okay, on a completely different topic... Can I get a drumroll please?!

I am delighted to announce the arrival of two incredibly HUGE items in my life:

#1 - My new iMac (with Final Cut Pro)! Tons and tons of videos to come. It is gawwwgeous, complete with a 22.5 inch screen. Ay, caramba! This girl's going to have MANYmany nights in fromt now on. Can't wait for Mac dates!



#2 - Charlie!



Eeeeeeeeeeee! That's ri-ight; I'm getting a mini Aussie (not this one per se)! I'm elated and a bit anxious, given it's the first puppy I'll ever have. I'll be getting him next year!

Okay, and #3 (bonus!) - My new phone upgrade: The Motorola Droid



It's an iPhone competitor, and its features are supposed to be much better than a Blackberry overall. I did my research prior to, believe me. Next year, you bet I'm planning on switching over to AT&T to nab an iPhone. Until whenever that may be, I'm thankful to have a new Droid!

What'd Santa bring you?! I'm aaaall ears.

Signed dearly ♥, Mekialaya

Nouveaux.

New shoes



and new (shorter) hurr --



you like!?

I'm headed to Atlanta to see mi familia for a few (and finally getting some software to edit my videos). I'll be posting some of my news videos on here soon as well. Hurray!

Toodle-oo and thank you for reading!

Cozied in, listening to Metric. MMM, yes!

Hiya! Oh, what a WEEK. In sum, blizzardy temps, commencing my new lifestyle/diet sans fast food (it's been ridiculously trying, but I'm reaping the benefits -- I've shed 5+ winter pounds thus far), interviewing the sweetest Santa Claus (click!), car shopping (I'm trading in my Saturn for an Aura, coat shopping (a blue peacoat and the North Face Aconcagua, finally), etc. etc.!

Annndd... I have a big announcement for y'all! *Drum roll*...

I'M GOING TO START VLOGGING THIS WEEK (with my new HD cam, yay)! Oooh, also, I have some pretty belated photos to share!

***UPDATE: I need to get my video editing software before I do this... So, standby!

So, remember that race I told you about last week? Here's a shot with my beautiful mommy post-race! Of course, I had to rock the pink Underarmor. ;)



And as aforementioned, I can't get enough of reality television. My girls and I went to the So You Think You Can Dance Tour a couple of weeks ago -- too thrilled!



Off to make whole-grain spaghetti! Ta ta!

P.S. The times are three hours always off when I post on here; does anyone know how to fix that?
