Mermaids with Style: Elisa Edition

I have been trying to improve my drawing abilities… because why the heck not.

And to combine that with my penchant for drawings Mermaids… and you get…

Well, you get more mermaids… just drawing with eyes instead of my signature beady-eyes

This one is a shout out to my homie Elisa and her uncanny ability to always be on vacation or planning one!

Right now she’s planning our vacation to Greece! We are going there this spring and it’s going to be amazing. And we are going to do what we do best, drink, laugh and look at buildings and stuff. I feel like I should put that on my resume…. so someday I can be professional looker at buildings, with an emphasis in laughing and drinking.

Move over Queen “B” here’s Queen “E”

My friend Elisa has a really great imagination…

Not like my weird imagination which makes a really boring office into a musical in my head. (which is sometimes how I get through my day)

But she can replicate and create beautiful costumes from her head.

And then she tells me about them and I sketch them and help her visualize all her costume dreams.

This is her dream of being a queen that rivals even Beyonce.

I hope she makes it and wears it all the time.

Queen Elisa at Friday meetings.

Thanks for giving me things to draw other than my stuck at my desk related despair.

Also Hi Joseph, who is secretly reading this at work. My back still hurts, and I want ice cream.

Happy Birthday Elisa!

Today is an exciting day!

It’s my desk buddies birthday… so today was a wonderful celebration of her that included a desk decorated in “Under the Sea” paraphernalia and with lots of pie.

And although work is well… sometimes hard to get through. Elisa makes it a blast for all the hours we are there together. We giggle, walk to 7-11 for slurpees, talk about our weird fascinating lives and wait in long lines for well her to get coffee. And she totally enjoys laughing at me when I turn bright red talking to the cute guy from the office down the hall.

And it’s all amazing. So amazing that my boss is moving me… to Siberia. In hopes that I won’t talk to anyone.

Well until then, we shall party and giggle and get our work done!

This was Elisa’s Halloween costume this year. She really has it together for being 28 :)

Happy Birthday Elisa I hope you have a wonderful year!

Gino’s Day Off

I love 80s movies.

If you know me or read this website you may already know this… because it’s one of my favorite thing to talk about.

Here is my interpretation of my co-workers and all around hilarious friends as Ferris Bueller and company:

I ended up being Cameron, because I couldn’t pull of that sweet leather jacket Elisa has on.

And Gino really needs that vest in real life. Ladies love leopard vests.

Danke schön!
