Goddess

Elena is like a rare jewel. She shines brilliantly and is truly one of a kind. Like a goddess come down from Olympus.

I bought Elena earrings from Anthropologie. I was ashamed because I only had Valentine's Day wrapping paper, but of course Elena Generous-of-Heart Weissman accepted my gift without comment or criticism. And today, she ACTUALLY WORE the earrings. Ugh, if only I were an earring on those beautifully elfish ears. Then I would look super cute and stylish, like everything else Lain Lain wears.

I forget to tell all of you!! Several weeks ago, I ordered in Chinese food with Elena. Elena, I hate to admit this, owed me 5 dollars from a previous occasion. So Elena paid for my food, and I intended to pay her the difference of one dollar. She refused to accept my dollar- she scoffed at it and basically said TRUE FRIENDS DON'T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT ONE DOLLAR!! She is so kind. Literally, like Mother Theresa reincarnated. Accept way more stylish. And with way better hair.

Elena and I used to go spinning every week. We would spin with Hazel (we called her Hazey) then get iced coffees or fro-yo. Even in the darkness of the spinning studio, I could see the determination on Elena's face. She is a warrior at heart. Also, she sweats less than normal people. She loves iced coffees a lot, but sometimes she would get unsweetened Passion Fruit iced tea. I obv would just follow suit.

Also, I was supposed to hang out with Elena this week, but Loren ruined it as per usual. Blech.

Your Elena List:
In- Anthropologie, Being Kind, Elves
Out- Loren (she is soooo 2010), Valentine's Day, sweetening things

XOXO,

So Generous

7 years ago Elena got Mckenzie bath salts for Christmas...she is so generous. I wish I got bath salts from her.

sigh

Ugh I haven't seen Elena in 3 days. I miss her. I wonder if she misses me.

ELENA THRU THE YEARS

I want to talk a little bit about Elena’s past and how she came to be the fabulous person she is today.

Elena, daughter of Alice and Paul, was born on March 25^th, 1988 (also known as..“the GREATEST day in the world”). She is an Aries. Aries are said to be leaders and pioneers…they enjoy a challenge and are happiest when their lives are moving forward and active. There's a childlike quality to all Aries people, and it's often quite charming. Some famous people who are Aries are Alec Baldwin, Mariah Carey, Jackie Chan, and Russell Crowe…she’s in good company.

I’m a Virgo..Aries and Virgos are compatible :)

Did you know that Elena is related to David Schwimmer?...isn’t David so lucky!!

In high school Elena worked at Rhors Coffee Shop in Closter. Coffee has never tasted so good. She knew how to concoct the most heavenly cups of coffee I have ever tasted. Rumor has it; she had some sort of secret recipe she would sprinkle in every cup when no one was looking…I think it was a touch of love. Rhors thrived when Elena was around, but unfortunately once she went to college, it couldn’t survive without her and shut down…downtown Closter hasn’t been the same since.

In high school Elena was part of a super exclusive group known as “The Core.” I secretly always wished I could be part of it. However Elena and I were totes gym buddies…I felt pretty lucky.

Elena would have the most awesome high school parties! They were very exclusive and only the most fabulous people would get invited. The first time I received an invitation to Elena’s party I was thrilled, it was such an honor. I planned my outfit 3 weeks in advance. Her luau themed party was my favorite. She wore a Hawaiian shirt…only Elena can make Hawaiian shirts look so damn stylish.

Once Elena caught me making out in her basement at one of her parties. I was so embarrassed…but she was totally cool about it. Elena is so cool about everything.

Now a little bit about the present: Last night Elena and I went to dinner. I think someone else was there, but I can’t remember. I was a half hour late!…I’m so ashamed...I can’t believe I kept Elena waiting…It won’t happen again. At dinner she gave me some great advice…I’m going to follow her every word.

We got marghs with our dinner. Whenever I drink with Elena I’m always scared I'm going to accidentally spill my deep feelings for her. I don’t want to seem desperate. It’s so hard holding my feelings back...

Alone

Last night at dinner, I was alone with Elena for 30 minutes. It was bliss. She even let me take a sip of her drink. I used her straw and everything!!

Then Loren came :(

We finally ordered food, and all three of us got the Quesadilla Grande. For a second before we ordered, I thought Elena would go for a chicken wrap or burrito, so I made sure I was ready to change my request at the last second. Elena threw me a curve ball when she asked for no sour cream. I had already asked for sour cream. I was devastated.

I noticed Elena was wearing a heart and an E necklace layered on her neck. Can I justify getting an E necklace?

At the end of the night, Elena gave me a piece of cake she had saved from a work party. IMAGINE!! She was walking around with a plastic container just waiting to give me a piece of Magnolia cake. She truly cares. What a kind soul.

Two minutes after I left her glorious presence (it felt like HOURS, DAYS, YEARS!!!), Elena sent me a picture of herself with a dog. I wanted to post it here, but I got cold feet. I was surprised Elena was holding a dog, because she used to not like them. Elena is constantly surprising me.


Your Elena list for today:

In- The letter E (obv), Magnolia's, layers, dogs, boy toys
Out- Sour cream, Loren

XOXO,

Mac

Monkey see monkey do

Elena sent me this blog today: http://scienceblogs.com/thoughtfulanimal/2011/04/chimp_yawn.php?utm_source=nytwidget

Time sent : 8:59 AM

Subject of email:		Thought of you

She said she was thinking about me! I almost died. That little monkey link shows both her dedication to her friends, as well as her passion for science and the pursuit of knowledge.

Science and chimps are really in right now. So is surfing the internet before 9 am.

XOXO,

Mac

spicy...

Elena ordered hot wings at Junior's the other day, so I ordered hot wings. I think I was subtle. They were boneless of course.

Elena has been wearing her hair wavy all the time lately. It looks so natural, like a delicate mermaid. Also, Elena wore a utility-style jacket to dinner. I immediately purchased a similar coat online. I suggest you all do the same.

I have also been spritzing all my scarves with musky perfume to replicate the aforementioned Madewell scarf's aroma.

In conclusion:
In- musky scarves, utility jackets, hot wings, wavy hair
Out- scentless scarves, trench coats, bones, flat irons

XOXO Elena lovers!
