Dad's new retirement plan

Being in San Diego by the water, the piers and the fishermen makse me miss my dad. So I gave him a call today just to say hi. He sounded unusually excited to talk to me about my current trip to San Diego. Apparently now he wants to retire here because "I can go fishing on the pier. Bring my radio and an dau phong. Or I don't need to fish, I can be there and enjoy the nature." My job while I'm still here in San Diego is to do some research for him. He wants me to find out how much it would cost for a 2 bedroom townhouse."Nothing big. One room for me and mommy and one room for you, Nancy, and Sandy when you visit". I told him when he decides to move out there, I'll move too. How great would it be to have my family all together in a beautiful city such as San Diego....(hint hint Nancy, Sandy)

Fashion update

So I have been stalking fashion blogs for the past few weeks now. I was never in to fashion. Of course I wanted to look good, but comfort and convenience took priority. Make up and jewelry and cute shoes were all extras. I never understood why people would spend so much money on all these extra things. My wardrobe consisted of mostly blue scrubs for the past few years. And dark dreary colors (as my mom called them). Blues, creams, blacks, and grey. Oh grey, I think you are my new favorite color. Mom says I dress like ba gia. Thanks, mom. But those colors, in solid patterns, were the easiest to wear. NOW, however, I am breaking my boring fashion habits! Why now you ask? Well, 1. I don't have to wear blue scrubs anymore. 2. I've actually got some extra dough to spend on the things I always thought were extras. 3. My coworker always looks so darn cute, like she stepped out of a J Crew catalog. 4. I definitely look more 'grown up'. (it sucks when you walk in to see your patient and they give you this "you must be the assistant, you look like you're in college, you can't know what you're doing, what the hell, I want to see the doctor") 5. I want to be able to flaunt it while I still got it ; )

That all being said, I have gone on a mini shopping spree. I have rediscovered J crew. They actually have really nice stuff. And Ann Taylor, too. Gonna attempt to wear heels to work one day. Small, sturdy, strong heals, but heals none the less. Bye Bye Nikes. Next step is to go to Target or Forever 21 to find some cheapie jewelry to spice things up. I'm kind of excited about this! New looks for the coming new year! Let's see how long this fashion momentum lasts.... here's a look at what I got from www.jcrew.com, on sale of course:


sparkly belt. Definitely something new to me.


Wasn't sure about this one, but got it in a olive green color.

The orange cardigan. I got one in light blue too!
Still sticking to more neutral colors. hopefully these all look good, if not, returns!
