So Lucky

I am so lucky, my friends.

Troy and I are truly surrounded with an amazing cast of friends and family. You are all supportive, creative, and unique. You are also very thoughtful.

Thank you, Mojdeh, for the lovely header this blog is now graced with. You are one of my very best friends…you are so talented, and stylish, and smart.

You get the fact that the best presents don’t always come in boxes. You travel through feet of snow in a skirt to personally tell us Merry Christmas. You run out of gas on your way to work.

All of these reasons are why we are friends.

Thank you for the early birthday present, I love it.

A Cinco de Mayo Birthday

Today is my Dad’s birthday.

Wouldn’t it be rad to have your birthday fall on Cinco de Mayo?

It especially makes people like me happy to give piñatas as birthday gifts – which is exactly what I did a few years ago.

Dad is funny. He is probably this blog’s biggest silent cheerleader.

Not only is he overly curious about the blog world in general, but also loves to send me ideas and “research” he thinks might be helpful. And, semi-surprisingly, one of his ideas is perfect.

No, Dad, it’s not your fishing story, or the outdoor photographer, or the county humor writer that I am speaking of.

It’s your perfect solution to solving the age old question…"where should we go for dinner?”

I will explain this idea here tomorrow…

Today, have a great birthday! And just as I don’t expect a comment from you, my silent cheerleader, I know you don’t expect a birthday card from me, the world best procrastinator.

...

happy birthday, dad

xoxo
