Steve Jobs, 1955 - FOREVER

As the girl who bought the first iPhone like a total sucker for $650.

As the girl who believes that Apple makes the sexiest products on the planet.

As the girl who types this on her mac, listening to her iPod.

As the girl who has this blog name engraved in to the back of her iPad.

My heart broke on Wednesday. 

R.I.P., Steve. And thank you. The world is truly a better place because of who you were and what you created.

“Your work is going to fill a large part of your life, and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work. And the only way to do great work is to love what you do. If you haven’t found it yet, keep looking. Don’t settle. As with all matters of the heart, you’ll know when you find it. And, like any great relationship, it just gets better and better as the years roll on. So keep looking until you find it. Don’t settle.”

Two Degrees of Lauer

If I could re-do the Top 3 Pop Culture Moments of My Life, I would have to rank this one at number 2 1/2. I was on The Today Show this morning!!!! Unfortunately, it was during the fourth hour, which is waaayyyy lesser due to the lack of Matt Lauer but still it's the Today Show. On a Monday. I can't seem to post the video here and certainly do not need NBC coming after me but you can click here and check me out in Lauren's sharp suit all lookin' all business-like at the Spa during the Trump LV clip. Thanks to Erin for sending this B-roll in. At this rate, my 15 minutes of fame is going to be up by the time I hit 63.

Fresh as a Newborn

A few weeks ago I asked my boyfriend, Jenner, what his favorite thing about me was (if you know me, this is a total normal question for me to ask on a pretty regular occasion.) His response?

"Your knowledge of pop culture."

Oddly enough, I wasn't offended that his answer was not "your brains", "your heart" or "your beauty" because I LOVE pop culture. In fact, I'm likely to blog about it. Since this is all new and shiny, I can't gaurentee anything (for all we know I could blog about cheese for three posts in a row) but seeing as how I can't go more than an hour without checking People or Perez you could put your allowance on it.

A little introduction for those of you who may not know me...I am a twenty-something girl living in the City of Sin, although it feels more like a small town than the glitz and glamour you would think it to be. I am blessed with great friends, a loving boyfriend and wonderful parents. Sienna Miller is my pride and joy. I live for Friday nights and Sunday mornings. I enjoy a good read and a good movie. I like pinot grigio, gouda cheese and wheat thins after a long day in the cube. I laugh. A lot. I sneeze like Gilbert Grape and I am trying to try new foods.

I would always rather be at the beach.

As previously mentioned...I am not sure what will come of this blog but I expect it to be a fun ride for all two of you who may be reading it on a regular basis (and I promise to keep the cheese blogging to a minimum.)
