Candyland

YO! gingerbread making was fun. i made a love train. jess made an airplane, maya made a sex house, and meg made a house with a reflecting pool. i think next year we may do an animal theme.






i learned 11 things during the house-making that i didn't know before:

1- graham crackers are the best substitution for gingerbread and you don't have to bake them.
2- trans fats make phenomenal binders, so use vanilla pillsbury frosting because it sticks to your grahams and your arteries.
3- you may have chest pains the next day.
4- it's better not to eat it while you're making it.
5- you may have an obscenely bad stomach ache.
6- you need a lot of time.
7 - you may get competitive. it can get ugly.
8- you need to listen to really bad christmas music, like "mommy's shoes," on a lite-FM station.
9- you need to get really emotional when a josh groban song comes in, but not mean it.
10- don't mean it.
11- no matter how badly you want to eat it the next day, and all of the candy that you didn't use, try not to or you will repeat numbers 3 and 5.

anyways, sorry for being a weirdo. we had a tremendous time. and jessie is the best host from the west to the east coast. the highlight was when she gave us these gold and silver grillz and we took an obnoxious amount of pictures because we were all into it. maya is sending ones of us tomorrow, so i'll post more then. what's weird is that i honestly thought we looked kind of amazing with them. it could just be me.



it is probably just me.

the second best part of the night was when buzz's sister made an appearance. for those of you who don't know Buzz, he is a large stuffed animal that creepily came onto the scene a few years ago. he doesn't have nipples and he scares me. every year at thanksgiving or xmas, he makes an appearance. well this year, maria found his sister and it was an equally traumatic experience.



and finally, this has nothing to do with the weekend, but check out this sky that we enjoyed from our office on friday. it looks like someone took a giant eraser to the clouds. strange and beautiful.


ps - screw inside out junior mints. my new obsession is mint eminems. i'm beside myself over them.
