Ho ho ho!

Holy crap, it's the Christmas season.  I don't know where the fucking time has gone to, honestly.  It's almost obscene the amount of things that have happened since I've last written.  I'm in Paris currently, for one, researching pastry shops while Matthew is shooting his brains out ... with his camera!  He's finishing up a major Paris shoot for a show coming up next year both in NYC and here in Paris. Yippy!

And I've had an end-of-youth crisis, of sorts, that has shaken me to the core and pushed me into focusing on finally, finally, fucking FINALLY starting on the path to opening up my long talked and dreamed about bakery in NYC.  I've hired a wicked (I love Boston words) designer from a hip L.A. firm and cannot wait to see what she has in store for a logo.  But sadly, once I choose it, it's all staying under wraps for a while anyway.  I have all of these crazy ideas that I, for the first time in my life, just know will work.  I hope.  And I hope that you'll be just as excited about them as I am once they are realized. As much as it is a hectic time of change and adjustment, it's also one of the most thrilling times of my life, as I can almost feel that something big is about to happen. Even if it doesn't, just feeling like I'm doing something I love and going somewhere I feel passionate about is more than worth the price of admission to this next chapter.

And I haven't given up regular blogging ... I've just been majorly, majorly, MAJORLY distracted with life's ups, downs and general bullshit. Forgive me, and in the meantime, I'm still a total Twitter Freak, and you can always see what I'm up to and thinking about on a sometimes hourly basis on there (see the NATE UPDATE column to the right of this post).

More soon, and thanks for checking in.

Now that you are back in the states you can call me tomorrow. I am in Houston until Monday morning. I need to find out more about the bakery. I am seriously considering helping you once you are done with your school.
