Plum Purdy

By happystance, there's a purple theme running through these catch-up bits from the past few weeks...

First up, D'Anne's Thai curry with eggplant. The sun hit these veggies in the most delicious way. And I have to say again how much I love the iPhone camera. These weren't color adjusted in any way, just cropped.



Next, purple memo in the bullpen. Ant's seemingly solid-colored shirt is actually thin magenta and blue stripes.



And today, the most amazing potpourri blown up against the sidewalk, courtesy of Mother Nature. It's mostly fallen crape myrtle blooms, with peppertree leaves.

Melty Ant. Warning, somewhat gruesome.

Some silly putty showed up in the bullpen so of course we had to make an Ant. Syd made a great one with actual antennae, and I promptly stabbed it in the heart with some T-pins. Syd camouflaged the stabbing by adding 4 more, to make them legs. Over the course of the afternoon, Blue Ant slowly degenerated into this sad little puddle.


The extra delicious bit is a conversation from a couple weeks ago:
Ant: It's hot in here.
Me: Yeah, do you usually feel hot in the afternoon? Around 4 pm?
Ant: I guess...
Me: Cause that's when we do our daily ritual of burning you in effigy.

Heartsss!

Pretty in Plaid

Today we all ooh'd and ah'd over Ana's delicious plaid top. It stopped me in my tracks when I came around the corner--in the best possible way, not a la Charlie. The colors are super retro, but served up in a flirty contemporary way with awesome placket ruffles. YUM.

Woefully behind on bloggery

Couple Fridays ago: Charlie and D'Anne goodness. I love how, even on his knees, she makes him look freakishly 'UGE. Note photo-bombing is alive and well in the bullpen. "RRrahrr!"


Last Monday: D'Anne's new 'do and delicious candy-colored pumps. What's not to love?

Tonal memo

This morning the ladies of the bullpen received the tonal memo.
We're all tone-on-tone but in different directions - Syd in pink+deep magenta, D'Anne in teals, and me in olives.





However Charlie is doing his own thing, as usual, Hurt Maria Friday. I have to admit this is a pretty genius shirt: "The Apathy Coalition. Join Us. Or Not. Whatever."



Here's a recap of Charlie's HMF shirts. I wonder if he's working his way through the rainbow, he does have ROY so far. G BIV should be doozies.

Caution: Nerd At Work

Furious blipty-bluing:


...aaand wrinkle rage:

Mmmm

Feast your eyes on this two-tone ankle-strap patent peep-toey deliciousness. Jenn is totally rocking these with a chocolate shirtdress today.
