Five Things

December 21st, 2012



{The perks of having friends in the film industry – borrowing screeners instead of going to the theatre}

Needless to say, the past seven days have brought about a mixture of emotions for most people. Moving into the holidays, while the nation still mourns, has set a different tone to this Christmas. Tomorrow we leave for San Francisco and I can’t wait to see my family and spend the holidays with them, this time as a married woman. The older I get, the more I appreciate this time of year, knowing how fortunate I am to have my family and friends so close. I hope you all have a wonderful holiday filled with love, health, and happiness. x

    Sometimes disasters help us to appreciate our family and friends more, putting just how lucky we are in perspective.

    Merry Christmas and enjoy your holidays with your family!

    Those PJ’s are so cute but over here in the UK that design/colour (minus the shorts) is very similar to what nurses uniform’s look like..So I’m looking at that pic and thinking you look like a sleepy nurse! :)
