Hey Ladies: We Wrote a Book! -The Toast

Hey Ladies!

We’re so excited to show our book cover here for the first time, and wanted to do a special Hey Ladies as a thank you to our fellow Toasties. We can’t wait to share the book with you! If you pre-order Hey Ladies!: The Story of 8 Best Friends, 1 Year, and Way, Way Too Many Emails and email a screenshot to yourheyladies@gmail.com, we would love to send you your very own personalized signature quote (something in the key of aUDREY hEPBURN or Marilyn or Oprah). Miss you all! Love, Michelle + Caroline

Hey Ladies!

This has been some year, huh? Between everything happening in our country — not to mention internationally, RIP our non-refundable deposits for Jen’s bachelorette weekend (I’ve always heard the clubbing scene in Pyongyang during autumn months cannot be missed, but that’s neither here nor there…), I think it’s really important for us all to take a sec and reconnect as a group and see each other socially outside of events for #BJPartyOfTwo. Btw, any more thoughts about changing the hashtag??

Let’s do a fun group dinner!

Date: This Saturday
Venue: Eleven Madison Park — it just reopened and they have a tasting menu! If you’re tight for money this month, don’t worry about it — you should definitely still come, and you can order a black truffle soup or something.

I miss you all! It doesn’t matter what we do, it only matters that we’re all together! I booked a rez for the eight of us (boring $ talk: I had to put down my card, so if one of you can’t make it, you’d owe me $200). Helene, if you’re in New York for the weekend, it would be great to meet you and Jen’s dad too for a drink beforehand and hash out some details re. Jen’s wedding weekend. I have some changes I’d like to make in terms of menu choices for the rehearsal dinner — are you getting my emails about those?? Did aol get hacked? I haven’t received a response back yet from you, so wanted to check.

Note: This is a ladies-only dinner. Sorry, you know how much I love Brad and Topher and Gracie’s boyfriend Petrick. (Full disclosure, I can never remember if his name is Pete or Patrick and I just split the diff and put him in my phone as Petrick, but I think he likes the nickname!). Trust me, if this wasn’t a girls’ night I’d love to invite the guy I’m seeing, Matt KUSHNER. Let’s keep it between us. Obviously, he’s a cousin, but aside from a shared family trust, he has nothing to do with Jared.

See you all Saturday!

Hey Ladies!

So sad we’re not gonna make it to the shores of the south (Korea) but I think it’s the right decision based on what I hear via podcasts. Quick Q — I am selling my motorcycle pleather jacket at a steal $700 (purchased for $200 but trying to make a profit! #business). Would anyone like to purchase? 100% of the proceeds go towards the dinner party! LMK.

I can also do a Sephora merch credit ($16.97 value) as a free gift with purchase.

Hey Ladies,

I was literally sitting down to my gratitude journal to list the attributes about myself I am most grateful to the universe for, when a butterfly stopped in front of my window and fluttered her wings in my direction before taking flight into the unknown. A sign? Of course.

I love the idea of us all getting together this Saturday. I don’t think we should go to 11 Madison Park. I have another idea for how we can best gather our spirits and energy. First, let’s look at the word RESTAURANT:

RE: To do something over again
STAU: A German word meaning “traffic jam”
RANT: A tirade

I think we should meet for a holistic night-picnic. I’ll bring the cashew cheese and the breadth of my soul’s energy. Please bring non-nightshade, gluten-free, and dairy-free nourishment. Nicole – can you bring the alkaline water? Check out my e-book, Caitlin Your Life: Feed Your Soul + Body (TM). Let’s manifest our intentions.

The spirit in me recognizes the spirit in you,
Caitlin

Hello girls,

Feel free to take me off of this thread as it does not pertain to Jen or Brad specifically. Also, Caitlin, I do not believe that is where the word ‘restaurant’ comes from.
