So simple, so true...

Matthew Grey Gubler, Adrien Grenier, Jason Schwartzman,


I love YOU

today was a day for the books.



I sat with a friend, a lovely friend at that, for bit of sushi and a lot of talk.

"Want me to kill it?" he asked, referring to the wasp busily flitting around behind me.

"No! He's fine... he's doing his thing"


And then I got burned by the searing heat emanating from the edge of the window I was leaning on. Oh no wait, oops... that wasn't the window! I've been stung! For the FIRST TIME! In my LIFE!


"Oh no I'm fine, don't worry.... I feel a bit off, a bit tipsy, but I'm fine"


And now, twelve hours later, I've dodged the anaphylactic bullet (for once!) but I can say with assured self confidence that OW.

THIS HURTS!

I cut my hair myself one night, a pair of dull scissors in the yellow light

I have no qualms about discussing my undying love for all things American. I think that if I were to tally up the time I've spent here, in the very same house, I'd discover that I should be American, if only because I've put in the hours. ANYWAY, now I can add something new to list (that currently includes Suburbans, CokePlus and Trader Joes among a bah-zillion other things)

ORGANIX VANILLA SHAMPOO.

Oh my word. It smells like CUPCAKES. It's incredible. It makes my sister's gorgeous, long, blonde highlighted hair and my crudely cut (read: butchered) brown hair equally shiny and yummy. We are in luuuuurve. It's ACES! A C E S!

I guarantee that when I get home and clear my brain of holiday cobwebs, I'll write something with a bit more substance. Until then... god bless America. My home sweet (sometimes) home.

I've been absent lately but only because I'm surreptitiously planning a new project and quite frankly, it will be far more exciting than this. You'll see!

BUT

I'm on holidays and blissfully content and because this is the very place I conjured up the idea of LbC only a year ago, I thought it most appropriate to post.

Lobster, wine, Russian dressing, saltwater and Bugaboos. Oh and only the best family a girl could ever want. This is it, this is what I was born to do.

When I get back to the city? Big changes! Not only here but in REAL LIFE.

In the interim, I'll update here and there because it's fun, yeah? But now, upstairs beckons. And who am I to ignore the Call of the Cape?

I want to make this poster longer, I really do. But I'm running a zillion years behind and I'm due at the Modernboys Moderngirls show in two shakes.

But guess what!? ALEXA CHUNG IS IN TOWN! No but really! To have JASON SCHWARTZMAN, TENNESSEE THOMAS AND ALEXA CHUNG in town at the SAME TIME is TOO MUCH FOR ME TO COMPUTE. And... MY BEST FRIENDS ARE HERE! MY BEST FRIENDS ARE BACK FROM LONDON! BOTH OF THEM! TODAY! OH GOD!

NO THIS IS RIDICULOUS! I'm BESIDE MYSELF WITH EXCITEMENT! Only the BEST will do tonight! No holds barred. This is IT! If you could only see me! I've got a stack of shoes on my bed like no other. YSL piled atop of Miu Miu squashing Marc Jacobs jabbing Tods smooshing Celine kissing up on Burberry. Oh GOD what do I DO!?

Drink a glass of wine. That's what I'll do.

I LOVE YOU ALL AND.... I'll find youuuuuuuuuuuuuu

There are things you do because they feel right

& they may make no sense

& they may make no money

& it may be the real reason that we are here:

to love each other & to eat other's cooking & say it was good
