Ain’t no party like an internet party because an internet party doesn’t involve talking to other people.

It was great seeing old friends and meeting new ones this weekend. Thanks for being good people and for providing much-needed distraction and frequent laughter. I love you all.

You know, for a while I was kinda freaking out about turning 40, or rather I was worried about freaking out about turning 40. But now that it is almost here, I find myself not worried about it.

Here’s a picture of my face and my cute new phone case.

My best friend: let me show you her.

She has talked me down off more ledges over the past 3 years than anyone else in my life. Beautiful inside and out, she inspires me to be a better person and to make good decisions; I’ve got a lot of love for this woman. By the time I’m nearing 40 I’ll consider myself lucky if I’m even half as wise and graceful as her. 

My next trip to DC will be in April to celebrate her 40th, and by then it will have been 5 months since we last saw each other in person (which I think might be the longest stretch since we first met for my 30th) and I’m really looking forward to seeing her (and a few of you) that weekend.

(Also, her family is pretty great, too.)

I’m not finding inspiration tonight, so here’s a pic from few weekends ago when Nicky and I drove to get grape pies and check out the wind farm.

Nicky’s here!

Tonight we’re going to see They Might Be Giants! And Jonathan Coulton is opening (…meh?). And tomorrow David Bazan is playing in my living room! And Nicky’s here! And Mary’s coming over too!

Hooray!

Make sure she feels the love today!
