15. I talk to my mom multiple times every day

16. The only person I know who is more stubborn than my dad is me

Every one else who lived on the property was like over 80. It was amazing.

81. Some of my best memories are at Trader Vic’s

82. I think that it’s important to splurge on high thread count sheets…and orange juice

85. I still can’t believe I’m living in California…again

86. When I have kids, I want my parents to be within a 2 hour drive…at the most…they currently live across the country in Connecticut. Hmmmmm

87. I already have my Halloween costume planned for next year – and it’s such a good one

88. For special occasions my Mom, Nani and I used to get dressed up and go to Bullocks Wilshire for lunch. We’d eat tea sandwiches and enjoy a fashion show with really old models. At the end of the meal they would bring you this green mint with a marshmallow on the bottom. It was really sad when Bullocks Wilshire closed
