I wanted to share another idea I had. I was guiltily enjoying a gossip magazine (People? OK? In Touch? I can't remember which) one day that my mother had indulged me with, when I thought how cool it would be if we could have magazines that showed pictures and comments about our friends' lives. Not like inappropriate. But like--
Hey, there's Capri riding with the kids to school on their bikes. Watch out for all those Atascocita SUVs!
There's Melissa dropping Christian off at school. The San Antonio business woman now.
There's Alex leaving a jewelry appointment in downtown Austin-- with a white chocolate macadamia nut cookie in hand!
You could see friends from high school that you haven't seen in forever-- see how they look now, how they dress on a daily basis, where they work and what they do.
There's Vanessa in the swimming pool with her pregnant belly and mascara all over her face. Is that swim cap too small?
To be able to see my childhood, high school, college, and "adulthood" friends that I'm hardly or never able to see anymore in each weekly issue of this magazine would be divine; I'd be a regular subscriber man for sure. Forget Brangolina and the Reese/Ryan breakup and all that.
uh, yeah... i think that's what those magazines are about - too bad today would have been "there's alex, dressed as a snowman - meeting with dave for another design appointment, looks like she's having her 9th cup of coffee for the day.....could she be more disheveled?"
i finished my christmas card project - it is incredibly awesome. the caption will read "may all your dreams come true, happy holidays"... the illustration is, literally my dreams coming true..... hahahaha can't wait for you to see it.
and me today
vanessa was seen in her winnie the pooh pajamas until after 12pm, as she cooked and cleaned the house. (at least the food that came out of it was yummy) although she did manage to comb her hair, the extreme haircut and color job that she's growing out really make it necessary to actually fix hair everyday.
but it has been nice to hardly leave the house on a cold sunday...
