We’ve laid low this week. It’s been so nice because the weather is cold and rainy and windy, and also because I worked almost 12 hours yesterday. In NYC, lots of people work 12 hour days, but for some reason I always feel like I did something incredible if I work that long. And when I walk in the apartment I say “long day at the office…what’s for dinner, honey?” and no one is there to hear me because Jake works 12+ hour days regularly. So I agree to myself that it was indeed a long day at the Hair Office and then I eat whatever I want for dinner. Last night it was a burrito that was mostly hot sauce and lettuce because I like the way it crunches inside a tortilla.

Thursdays are my Fridays, and Fridays are my Pippy days. I’m excited to see her. I had a work thing on Monday and wasn’t able to see her. Plus Jake wont be there to hog her like last weekend. Aren’t I mean?

I got some love too. But I wasn’t very mindful of how Piper Jane chose to have her nap. I’m sure I could have held her more comfortably. Actually, she looks very comfortable, don’t you think?

Sunday night we had a dinner party with Joe and Jen and Nikki. Nikki is Joe and Jen’s dog. She is getting pretty old, but that seems to make her the most lovely houseguest ever. She wanders around, minding her own business. All she needs is a soft place to nap. We put some glasses on her.

Dinner party is a loose term. We set up a card table and used a tablecloth. We’re not really equipped with the space or cooking skills to host a proper dinner party, but it’s still fun to hang with friends. Especially because our friends’ apartments are small too and so they wont judge us..usually they can cook like crazy though.

Where have I taken this post?

I originally wanted to post because Katie came down to model for a styling class at my salon, and we agreed that Sockerbit is the most blogworthy candy store ever. It is a Swedish candy store that opened one and a half blocks away from my salon which is a very scary thing for my sugar intake. I have learned that most of my friends have a sugar addiction too, what the h guys? I had it first! Kiddin! I feel a little less like a piglet since everyone else is admitting to being a piglet too!

But really, Sockerbit is a beautiful, clean all white space with bins full of gorgeous and delicious candies. It’s on Christopher Street in the West Village if you are looking to put on a few lbs. (why is it “lbs”? I am still not sure that should stand for “pounds”, it’s looks and sounds like it should stand for “labels” or “lobes”.)

Sorry I’m so weird guys. DBJ.
