Cure for the afternoon grumpies:

Ronald,

I know you are most likely still on a plane thousands of feet in the air, thousands of miles away. I can’t wait to hear of all your Korean adventures!

Do you ever get the inexplicable afternoon grumpies? I don’t know why its been happenin’ lately, but I have just the cure: the Police, Every Breath You Take: the Classics. Soon as I hear “Roxanne” in my earbuds, all signs of a bad mood dissipate immediately. Thanks for the inspiration. The Police really are the best.

Missing you!
Larry

no way!

who would have thought, there would one day be an ATM that would dispense something other than cash.

yes, it’s been done.  cupcake ATM.

that is truly brilliant.  sometimes i wished i lived in beverly hills, just for outrageously amazing things like this.

i will miss you, my friend, while you are away in Korea.  i know you will have an amazing time at the wedding and will return with great stories.

love, Larry

this is just amazing. ahh. →

what do i like to do:

dear Ronald,

do you ever have days where you go, what am i doing with my life?  today is one of those days.  i don’t know where i’m headed, or worse, where it is i want to be going?  i haven’t the slightest clue.  i keep getting the “what do you want/like to do?” and i just do not know the answer.  wasn’t i supposed to have this answered by now?

i keep hearing “the world is my oyster.”  but, it sure doesn’t seem that way.  it seems very grey right now.  which reminds me, that patrick said we should open a hip new restaurant, and call it the grey owl.  everyone would flock to that!  so trendy!  in rva, we have the black sheep, the blue goat…it’s just missing an owl.  and how perfect, because it’s the hipster mascot.

eww…it’s too bad grey owls are fugly.  who knew?

in other news, my crazy manfriend is doing a renovation for this place, the black cat, which started the whole conversation of animal restaurant names.  but damn, this place looks so awesome.  we already made plans to dine there during my memorial day visit!

days like today make me miss you even more than i usually do, which is a lot.

love you lotses,

Larry

dear larry,

i recently found out that i have been giving money to a credit protecting service without my approval… since 2006. it wasn’t much, it was based on the amount of my credit card bill each month, but 5 bucks here and 10 bucks here, for every month, for FIVE YEARS. it builds up. it was infuriating especially because i know i have been really careful not to sign up for those free credit report scams. a few months ago, after a phone call with citibank, which as always ended up in a frustrating screaming word vomit mess, i told myself at least i tried to get my money back and somewhat released my anger. then i completely forgot about the whole thing (sadly this is how most issue are dealt with) until this month i saw this on my credit card statement. feels so good to be right! 

moral of the story: credit card companies can eat shit and stop stealing people’s money. and eat more shit.

love, ronald.

dearest larry,

i am preparing for spring with some tangerine tango. thank you pantone for telling me my little cole haan purse is cool and is worth getting an upgrade. i got some scrap leather and made me detachable crossbody strap! gotta love productive saturday afternoons. this bag will definitely be joining us on our spring adventures!

can’t wait, ronald.

ps. i realize true tangerine tango is much more vivid. well, we will just call this generic orange. works the same, i guess.

do i dare?

ronald,

i am embarking on a dangerous experiment.  do i dare open this can of worms?  if i pull this remarkable thing off, it could contribute to a lifelong addiction.  since my boytoy does not check our blog, i can say this publicly, so here goes: i am making homemade nutella for valentine’s day!  i can’t say if it will work or not yet.  i got the idea from a cookbook jodi had at her house, given to her by her boyfriend.  the thought intrigued me: could this delectable goodness be recreated at home?  i don’t know, but i am hoping so.  i am also making pretzel rolls to accompany the nutella, which i’m hoping will be a killer combination.  sweet and savory?  his mom always has these for breakfast when we visit, so i’m hoping they turn out, so i can bring some to them when we go to chesapeake this weekend!

pictures to come.  wish me luck!

ps: if it looks this good, i think i’ll call it a success:

in other news, he got mad when i brought up valentine’s day.  not his favorite holiday, go figure.  hopefully he will be less cranky by tuesday!

missing you, Larry

killer week in outfits:

the bestest, ronald,

oh boy.  what a week you had in incredible killa outfits.  my dad would totally approve.  remember that one time he commented on your yellow rainjacket.  Jim thinks you have the utmost in sense of style.

Jim would approve.  he would.

fondly, Larry
