This weekend I went to Santa Barbara for a friend’s birthday, because that’s how we do.

Eleven of us stayed on a ranch with mountains, cows, horses and olive groves.

The birthday dinner was held in the olive groves, with one long table, bottles of scotch, wine, cigars and ribs from a nearby joint.

It was absolutely spectacular. I don’t remember the last time I had that much fun. Also? I think that it’s time to add “Ranch in Santa Barbara” to the list of homes I’ll own when I’m rich.

What to Get Me for My Birthday…

For many of you, this is going to be the most important day of 2012.

My birthday is a time to reflect on what a good friend/person/girlfriend/future CEO of a Fortune 500 company I am. It’s also going to be your one shot at giving a gift that will prove I should keep you in my life – and, believe me, you want to be able to say that we’re friends. Because when the end of the world comes (December 2012), I’ll have a rocket ship made of indestructible bubble gum that will take us to a planet that not even God in all his smiting fury will be able to find.

Want to board my bubble gum rocket ship? Here’s what I’d like you to wrap up and give me:

-A polka dot pony

-A lifetime supply of Perrier (we’ll need that for the journey)

-A hybrid Lexus SUV in black. If you get me white, I’ll run you over with it.

-Dunkin Donuts store in Los Angeles

-6 pack abs

-A polygamist family to move in next door to me and call me the “Prophet”

-An unauthorized biography of me, published, and on the NYT’s Bestseller list

-Chocolate cake. Two layers. And don’t even think about any kind of frosting that doesn’t have the word “butter” in it

-Butter

-An enchanted mirror that tells me I’m pretty every time I look into it

-The giant, creamy cookie from Honey, I Shrunk the Kids

-15 rare breed kittens set up in a kitty playroom and dressed in colonial garb

-Those guinea pigs who know how to row a boat

-Michelle Bachmann’s eyes, in a pickle jar

-That guy who narrates the honey badger videos to DJ at my birthday party

-A flashmob in my honor and, at the end, Josh Groban proposes marriage to me

-A Will & Kate-esque marriage to above suitor

-Someone to push me home from the bars in a baby stroller

-Functioning human catapult

-Teleportation that only I can use

-Robot maid

-Robot chauffer

-Robot tailor

-Robot chef

-Robot umbrella holder

-Front page, NYT’s announcement of my birthday

-The NYT’s

-A teddy bear dipped in platinum, then in gold, then in platinum again

-Espresso machine

-A Starbucks in my home where a male barista named Sven will use my new Espresso machine

Thanks in advance, you guys!! xoxo

On New Year’s Eve…

Am I the only dingle berry who hates New Years Eve?

Not just that awful movie that’s coming out, but the holiday itself.

I hate running around from party to party, trying to find somewhere AWESOME, then realizing no where awesome exists because every place is running low on drinks and/or it takes half an hour to get one. Plus it can be kind of cold, and I like to layer up, but that may not make me as “sexy” as a New Year’s Eve partier as I should be.

I’d rather just stay at home, get a pizza, and watch some crappy movie while making out with my boyfriend. Is that too much to ask for?

Christmas Crack For You to Bite On.

First of all, this site Pinterest? AMAZING. I have found so many fun recipes there, and the layout is just pretty. I get glazey eyed on that site.

I’m having a holiday party and had to look up some things, here are my favorites so far…

Spicy GingerMan Cocktail- I like this one because of the ginger beer. Yummy!

For this recipe you crush up a bunch of candy canes, that sounds good to me… Candy Cane Cookies.

Pita Tree Apps. I kinda just like the look of these. Plus I enjoy me some avocado.

OREOS! ON THE BOTTOM!!

Cookies and Cream Cheesecake Cupcakes.

Obvi dovi we’ll be needing some eggnog.

(Eggnog Martini)

Christmas Crack. Nuff said.

Recipe suggestions welcome!
