Dreams

I have a very important question to ask you...

Are you a dreamer?

Do you dream big?

My entire life I have always dreamed of living a big life.  A few months ago my mom came across of a poem I wrote in 5th grade.  It was in this poem where I stated that I would be a bigger actress than Julia Roberts {insert barrel of laughter here}.  Well, that hasn't come true and I don't act, but I have always been all about dreaming big.

One night a couple years ago Marco and I had some friends over, late in the evening and about 3 bottles of wine in I made everyone come up with one word to describe everyone.  Mine was dreamer.  When we moved to LA I had more stars in my eyes than Marco did.

I think Marco balances me out.  He is a realist.  As you can imagine this sometimes gets annoying with me when I just want him to let go a little and dream.  His dream is to win the John Cassavetes Award for best first time director.

The way I look at dreams is that they do have the potential to become a reality if you put your mind to it.  For some people it means to get married, own a home, have kids and enjoy their job.  To me that is a great dream.  Unfortunately, my husband dragged me out to Hollywood and my dreams have only escalated since our arrival.

Now is the part where I share my crazy dreams with you...

Own and run a successful production company with Marco
See my name in the credits with Executive or Associate Producer next to it
Be a mom
Adopt at least one child

Drive a Bentley convertible 

Travel the world while working on films

Own a home in the Palisades 

Attend Sundance/Canne/Tribeca/Toronto Film Festival each year

Be friends with Jay-Z & Beyonce, Posh & Becks, Kanye, Gwyneth & Chris
Be able to travel home more than once a year

Have Rachel Zoe dress me for the Academy Awards

Yes, I know these might seem crazy to some of you, but in my mind I can actually see most of these turn into real life.  Call me a dreamer, optimistic whatever, I don't care.  There are too many bad things going on in the world, I would rather put my time and energy into dreaming about what could be.

So tell me, I'm curious, what are your dreams?

Happy FRIDAY!

I hope your day is off to a great start!

I can't wait for 5 o'clock to roll around for the weekend to start.

Compared to the past few weekends this one is low key.

Tonight is date night at the Grove with the husband.  We have some Christmas shopping to finish. I also want to see Young Adult with Charlize Theron.  You know there are girls from high school who are like this in real life.

I am kind of miffed on what to do on Saturday since college football has come to and end.  In its place I have decided to bake.  Growing up my sisters and I would spend one day in December baking with my mom.  Since we won't have time to do that this year I decided to do it on my own.  I want to use the cookies as gifts for my co-workers.  I plan on keeping very few cookies in my house this year.  Here is what I am planning on making:
Molasses Cookies
Sugar Cookies
Peppermint Meringue Cookies
Peanut Butter with Hersey Kisses
Mint M&M cookies

Sunday is a BIG day!  First the Broncos play the Bears at 1:05 PST on FOX.  I love that all the networks are clamoring to broadcast each Broncos game.  Makes me happy:)  Second we have the Kanye & Jay-Z concert that night.  Marco is over the moon excited about it.  I think he will be talking about this concert forever like my dad always does.  My parents were a product of the 60's and 70's and saw EVERYONE play at some point in time.  I should do a post just on that.

At some point this weekend I plan on learning how to use Marco's 5D and 7D cameras.  We have them, but never use them, so I think I need to learn.  I know I won't be the next Annie Lebowitz, but I am married to someone who has been trained extensively in photography/cinematography I think I need to take advantage.

Happy Friday Friends!

Tebowing

Marco and I are HUGE Tebow fans!  Marco was there at the very game when Tebow was introduced into the college football world.  UF vs Vandy.  The Gators were up by enough TDs and Urban decided to put in Tebow.  During his first drive he threw an interception.  Needless to say M wasn't very optimistic about our new backup QB.  Well of course all that changed.  We saw the Gators play multiple times in the Swamp over the next 4 years and loved every minute of it.  2 National Championships baby!

When it was time for Tebow to enter the pros we were 100% supportive  and didn't believe in all the drama surrounding his throw or his style of playing.  He is a winner and will do what he needs to do to win games.  Personally I think he is a great pheno for the NFL and any team should be lucky to have him.  Of course I am completely bias in every sense of the word.

A couple weekends ago M and I drove down to San Diego for the day to enjoy a nice day of football.  The first half of the game was pretty boring, but in true Tebow style the team found a way to win in OT.

Marco in the best shirt there,

"John Elway wears Tim Tebow Pajamas"

One of his best friends is from Boulder and bought this for him when he was first signed on.  Thanks Spence!

TEBOWING

Pure Awesomeness:)

The winning field goal in OT

Us at the game, 50 yard line, 6th row!

The score says it all:) 

GO BRONCOS!

What I am Loving

I'm LOVING how busy our fall/winter has been.  Yes, I complain about how busy it has been every Monday, but it is nice being busy.

I'm LOVING it is almost Christmas.  Yay for family time:)  Boo for 5.5 hour plane rides across the country and the red eye:(

I'm LOVING that my hair is growing out.  A few months ago I had it cut into a long bob and actually hated it.  I am also LOVING my colorist is available next weekend for a touch-up.

I'm LOVING Grooveshark.  I seriously love this website for music.  It makes my work days go by so much faster.

I'm LOVING text messaging.  If I had to pick up the phone and call every time I had a thought I would be so annoyed.

I'm LOVING last night as soon as I came home I cranked up the music and cleaned my closet.  I do this every two months whenever I become overwhelmed by my clothes.  I tried on all my jeans and realized 3 pairs I don't wear because they are too long.

I'm also LOVING having a wonderful relationship with our head sewer at work.  She mends all of my clothes.

I'm LOVING the new XBOX download.  Yes, I am a dork.  I  use XBOX mainly for Netflix.  With the new download they added a "Press X to add to instant queue."  Before it was a 3 step process, now it's just one:)

Christmas List

Dear Santa-

I have been very good this year.  I have done my best to be a good wife, friend, daughter and employee.  On Christmas morning I would love if a couple of the following items were under our tree.  Don't worry, I will leave extra cookies.
