the winner & a surprise


He: "I thought those independent auditors from a top 5 accounting firm would never leave!"
She: "Oh brother, we used Random.org, which is probably more reliable. Ok, you say it while I make the drum roll sound."
He: "Megan is the lucky winner of our 100th post giveaway and she is Queen of the Day!"
She: "Sweet! Thank you to everyone for your lovely and encouraging comments, and for joining us in our barrel of monkeys."
He: "We're heading off to the beach for one last summer fling and will be taking a brief interlude from quaint handmade as we're kind of sick of ourselves and our stuff.
Having said that, our plan is to have some creative self-portraits when we get back as we're still searching for props."
She: "Ho ho ho ho ho ho - HOLD IT!"
He: "What?"
She: "You know what I would think if I just read that?"
He: "Tell me [can I stop her?]."
She: "Two words - Plastic Surgery! That's what people do, they go away for a week."
He: "No way. [thinking] We better offer up some proof so people can compare down the road."
She: "No! I don't have anything interesting. I wanted to do something like Tim Walker (link goes to his amazing portfolio). Mysterious, so the blogarazzi doesn't get us. See?
He: "Whoa, I'm not dressing up that much. Come on, it's just like pulling off a band aid."
She: "Well, o-k. Here are some photos of us to use as a benchmark in case everything on our faces suddenly shifts upwards. Just keep in mind that these are "natural" shots. I only had under eye concealer beneath one eye and Scott was sleepy, all day."


He: "It's hard to see, they're so small."
She: "Really ;)?
Wishing y'all a happy weekend, Monday, Tuesday ... you get the picture. See you on the other side of our little break, but I'll be checking your blogs - can't get rid of me that easily."

Props : Crown, Bellochio + Rose, Suili

so far so good julia and jess!

Thanks for your living comment - your friend's story is very eye opening. I'm not looking for a Sex in the City lifestyle - ehh can't afford that, but you are right...I think many people go searching for that. I'm not even sure if NY is right for me. I was born in Long Island, NY, but most of my family has moved away due to costs. I've only been to the city like 3 times. If I move to a bigger city it would be more like the outside of DC. The internet does open many doors - glad to hear you agree! I do want to start a more creative career - get out of corporate settings. I also feel the need to move to experience another area - you know, live a little!
