What the hoozits, for real.

self-care.

Dear Columbia University,
Here is just one of many reasons why I get easily frustrated with you.


This is not self-care. In any way.

Let me show you what self-care is.


Discussing the foliage of the park & taking pictures with Julie.


Ducks. And fire-colored trees.


The view of the reservoir in Central Park at sunset (perfection, IMO).


Museums.


Hula hooping up and down the steps of Union Square as Cheeto dances on his bike.

Now you know better, CU.

x's & o's,
gabrielle.

fantastic mr. fox!

Because who doesn't love Roald Dahl?

Very excited.


dedicated to my love, Stephanie, who first introduced me to the BFG<3

masquerades, walks, & sunsets.

Train rides to new places.



The mask I wore around suburbia, modeled by Jeannie.



Feasted on the entire ocean.



Odd looking 'kio.



Spides.

Good weekend.

it's like i got a new dog.

He went from



to




I'm really sad (as are Momma T & Popsicle T). But he still knows how to high-five, say thank you, and rollover. So all is well, I guess.

We're going to go back to grooming him ourselves.

reasons to leave manhattan this weekend.

cute girls, small parties, pseudo-masquerades.


momma t & baby t.


fluffiness, comfort, Japanese named things.

michelle obama & i have something in common.

Mark is awesome for being Mark. But he is doubly awesome for Facebooking me this superb news article on Michelle Obama.

Not only is she a fellow [beginner] hooper but she also loves french fries.

"And look, my favorite food in the whole wide world are french fries. I love them. Dearly. Deeply. I have a good relationship with french fries and I would eat them every single day if I could."

For a hooper who orders a basket of fries everytime she's at a diner or at Applebee's, this article is fabulous. Thanks, Mark.

the fun theory.

I stole this from this pretty nifty blog that I sometimes sneak a peek at.




VW for the win.
