My dear friends Sara and Joe are getting hitched next summer and they let me design their save-the-date announcements. Here's the three finalists:



Psst... I can also do invites and holiday cards if you know anyone who's in the market for some custom stationary!

Because we show up places wearing the exact same outfit, without discussing it before hand. Because I can furrow my brow and roll my eyes and then burst into giggles when I look across the room and see that you are making the same faces. Because we can both eat red jello right out of the pan. Because our lives seem to run on a bizarre parallel, where we are faced with emotions that are simultaneously the same and completely different, but always real. Because when people find out we have the same last name they say, "of course, I thought you two were sisters." It's for all of these reasons that I shouldn't be surprised when I think all day about blogging about a certain movie that I've seen recently, and then look at your blog, and realize that you've blogged about just that movie. Of course. You would. Jules. This is getting ridiculous.Today at work we got to talking about Away We Go and how much I absolutely fell in love with every angle of this film. I was asked if I liked 500 Days as much.... and while I do have a soft spot in my heart for that movie as well (ahem, remember the chalkboard?? Not to mention Zooey's covetous bangs. Oh yeah and the company I was with when I saw it... that's not a shabby memory either), but rarely does a movie come along that I resonate with in my core like I did with this one. A movie that makes me feel safe in the knowledge that, and of course she said it first, everything will be okay. I find soulmates in Burt and Verona. In that deer-in-the-headlights moment. In the "i think i might be a fuck-up" moment. In the "i don't know what's coming next, but it's going to be something" moment. I find myself on the brink of something. What...I'm not sure. So here I sit. With baited breath. And anxious anticipation.

2009 New Year's Resolution No. 7 of 10

"Buy, wear, and pull off ankle boots."

Well, the "buy" part is taken care of...

My lovely and talented friend Tamara is having an art show next Friday! And what makes it even better is that the show is being held at the winery where my equally as lovely and talented roommate Deanna handcrafted the wine that we will all be enjoying. I got a sneak preview of the paintings last night... there's some real goods in this lot. I think it's going to be a good, make that great show. If you're in the area you should absolutely stop by.

I love this...
