This is only a few weeks late, which is pretty good in Matt time (sort of like dog years, but not as predictable).

Cindy turned 35 this year on January 1. Here she is 32 years ago:

Awww.


Brittany turned 16 just a couple of days ago. She has her license too, so be sure to look both ways - all the time, not just when you cross the road. You never know.

Here she is a month and a half ago:

Awww.




Happy Birthday Cindy and Brittany! You guys rock.
I don't know if you guys saw the Official Blog post this morning about Aaron's top secret celebrity wedding, but he's pretty much a superstar now.

I was lucky enough to purchase some pictures of him from local paparazzi.

Here he is, his first day back to the studio after shooting the secret celebrity wedding.




It's a shame what superstardom has already done to him. Pink shirt. Bath & Body Works bag in hand. Who knows what he's got in that bag. Probably creams and lotions of some sort. The type of creams and lotions that only superstars use.

If you haven't already, check out the post about this. It really is a big deal.

And now for an exclusive clue, for secret blog readers only: The celebrity whose secret wedding Aaron shot Tuesday is... a country music star.

More clues on the way. Keep your eyes peeled. You never know where they might show up...

The last pictionary answer was Banner. That's right: Banner. Take a look back and you'll be able to see it now.

I'm afraid we did not have any correct guesses, but don't be discouraged. Here is another chance to get your picture in the blizzog!

BLAM:


This little diddy was drawn my yours truly. Here's a hint: it's an action.

First one who gets it right gets his or her picture in the blog, so answer quickly! And if no one guesses it correctly, I will be offended. I think I draw very well. In fact those aren't stick figures; they're just really skinny regular figures.

Now this is not for everybody. It might not be for anybody. You can listen to movies and TV shows. You can't see them, but you can hear them.

I think it's cool if it's a movie that you've seen a billion times and love. It's also fun to quiz your coworkers. Just queue up a classic and see who can guess what movie it is first. I'm stumping Cindy on Mission Impossible as I type. She has no idea...

The Wedding Singer is a good choice. You don't really need to see it to feel the emotion. You'll laugh. You'll cry. You'll probably get fired if your boss walks by.

Trade DVD's, CD's, video games, and books. Super cool.

We played Pictionary at our studio Christmas party and we had so much fun we thought we'd let you guys play too.

Here's how to play: I'll post a picture every once in a while and you guess in the comments section what you think the picture is. The first correct guess wins.

Whoever guesses correctly gets his or her picture in the blog!!!! This is a BIG DEAL.

Picture #1: An all play drawn by Scott (Cindy's husband) and Kristin (Aaron's wife).




What do you think it is?

Guess quick before someone else gets it!
Most you probably don't know that Aaron had long hair at one point in his life. Early midlife crisis? Barber's strike? Who knows?

We thought he might be willing to oblige us with a fashion tip for today's post.

Enjoy your fashion tip for Friday, January 04, 2008:



Guys, before you grow your hair out, there are a few guidelines to follow:

First, be sure not to touch it. It doesn't tell you how to do your job. Back off and let it do its thing.

Second, be sure to use your ever-growing side-curls as sideburn supplements. Many men don't have sideburns substantial enough to accent a mane of long hair.

Third, feel free to just go casual with your clothes. Your shirt doesn't need to say, "Hey, I'm a big shot." Your hair will say it all.

Fourth, once your hair is lengthy enough, just add a leather jacket and some lighter fluid and you've got a full-blown movie poster on your hands.


Cindy has discovered my twin brother. I never knew I had one.

I returned from running some errands and found this on my desk:



I'm not really convinced that this guy looks anything like me, but she insists that he does. You be the judge:



Maybe she meant the groom.

Leave a comment and/or vote on the poll to the right to let me know what you think. Do we look alike or am I way cooler? (I'm the one on the left by the way...)
