I bought overalls!!!!! They're black and have a lil flare at the bottom. I thought the problem would be figuring out which shoes to wear, but you know what? It's the shirt. It can't be too long cause then it gets all scrunched. It can't be a crew neck cause then I look like a kindergartener. Do you guys wear overalls? What do you do?
Hey, what's up, hello! I'm sitting on my couch while Chloe and Thomas cook me crêpres... how very French. They are both visiting while they prep for their three-month cycling trip across the United States. Me and Dan are being awkward hosts, showing them clips of Pierre Escargot (which is incomprehensible to French-speakers, btw), and shouting "zut alors!" and "chin chin!" when we clink our glasses of bordeaux together.
Hope you all had a merry Christmas! I did; got a bunch of presents from my family that were marvelous and then I bought a bunch of presents for myself (oops) including shoes, fancy sprinkles (more on that soon), and star-shaped mini cake molds!
Me, Can, Dan and Rich... and all of the dogs... are currently up in the Catskills for a little Labor Day getaway. We've been hiking, grilling lots of food, and playing Mad Libs. Gotta say, I'm basically up here living my same life as always, but cooking and watching Seinfeld in the country is like 80% more relaxing than cooking and watching Seinfeld in Queens.
I went to the US Open with my colleagues this week which was very fun. In the wee moments when I wasn't trying to figure out how tennis matches are scored, I was thinking about how incredible the athletes were. Who knew the ball went that fast? (Tennis fans knew.) Those players are STRONG. (Duh, Hillary.)
Everything inside me told me not to do this. Who was I to believe that I could make decent breakfast sandwiches at home? I live in New York, for heaven's sake. There's no way my dinky skillet could ever compete with the flavor of a bodega griddle that's made thousands of egg sandwiches and seen few, if any, cleanings in its lifetime.
