me neither, pepe!

Hello!

I’m back from my 10th wedding anniversary trip to the end of the world (Patagonia).

It was lovely, thanks!

In other news, because I am a grown-ass woman, I just sent an email TO my tax accountants with the subject line: SEND TO YOUR TAX ACCOUNTANTS. This is because, of course, I was forwarding the accountants an email my mom WROTE FOR ME (that has been starred in my inbox for more than a month).

I regret everything.

Elizabeth Banks to direct bear-centric thriller COCAINE BEAR for Universal. The film is based on true events from 1985; a 175-pound bear accidentally consumed over 70 ponds of cocaine that was dropped it from a plane by a smuggler. The exact details of the film are under wraps.

That’s all for now. But as I sign off, I’m reminiscent of the best thing I heard today, when I picked up my kids at school in Argentina and I heard a mom say sternly in English,

“PEPE I DON’T WANT THE SAME SITUATION THAT HAPPENED YESTERDAY.”

Me neither, Pepe. Me neither.
