We are so pretty. Today I gave Tammy curly hair with my magical skillz. It is a test to see if she would want to get a digital perm. Makeovers! Catan! Responsive web! We are awesome multi-taskers. We are also pretty. Never forget that.

Jealouzzzz??? You should be. That is the power of a flat iron.

Get READY

Someone was jealous

I grew up close to Saratoga NY, famous for horse races and beautiful victorean style houses. One of the several traditions we have upstate is breaking the peppermint pig! Usually it’s a christmas time activity but it’s a radically beautiful day in March so WHY NOT? It symbolizes prosperity and good health and for us, good times.

To give you an idea of how popular it is, this store Saratoga Sweets is in a town next to me, Halfmoon:

FUN FACT: the black and white cookies that NYC loves so much was born in Halfmoon, where they are called by their original name, half moon cookies.

I downloaded this awesomesauce app yesterday called “Frames“. It basically makes a stop motion animation for you. You can just sit there, lazily clicking the capture image button over and over and it does all the hard stuff for you. So far I like it. This test animation is just a test! I’m not Michel Gondry or anything so RELAX. Also, my husband Michael made the baby heads. They are of us ˆ__ˆ

Hanging out with my family can yield magical results. I walk in from a hectic afternoon of shopping on Christmas Eve with Mom and found Dad alone in the kitchen paging through a coffee table book entitled Bridges. A few moments later, I approach the sweets table looking for a delicious item to put in my mouth and spy the most perplexing Christmas cookie I’ve ever seen. The bowling ball faced ginger bear needed its own, very special homage.

Saturday night we all went out to a Weekend party party together, maybe for the first time ever. It was double triple amazing fun times! There was champagne, and steak and macarons and egg nog and a Cosmo ice luge. What?! Also there was Wynton Marsalis. JUST SAYIN. Thank you Charlotte for an unforgettable Christmas party!

It’s white and has lovely people photographed with it.

First of all let me say that next May I will have been part of the OYG team for 5 years. Yesss! Also, our office is located right down the block from this bread/pastry/muffin factory called Kabir’s. So basically, it’s been years of deliciously torturous bread smells everyday with nothing to show for it. UNTIL TODAY!

We were on our way to go geocaching (because we are awesome), when Tammy strolls into the factory like she owns it. I couldn’t believe it, but it happened! I guess people can go in there and just buy bread?

“You want 4 cases?”
“No we want 4 pieces.”
“…Just take this whole case.”
“YES.”

The guys thought we were weirdos I guess, but what they didn’t know was that my brain was melting.

Next we went geocaching, which we starting doing this week because it makes us feel like Indiana Jones\Encyclopedia Brown.

Honestly, I can’t remember everything that happened because I was still in a bread daze.

TODAY IS MY BEST DAY!
