Birthday Countdown Continues

One week ’til my birthday. I must be one of those rare people who isn’t terrified of talking about “how old” I am, or will be.

I’m going to be 27. Boo-yah!

Wondering what to get me? My Amazon.com wishlist is over there on sidebar.

Toothpaste for Dinner

I love Toothpaste for Dinner.  See below for a wonderful example of the “Daily Drew” drawings you can find on their site.

Satirical cartoons make me laugh.  Bliss.

 

Goodbye, my friend.

This weekend:

• I reconnected with an old friend.
• I made a potential new friend.
• I was told by another friend that our friendship needed to be put on hold indefinitely, for reasons really only clear to him.

I’m happy to make a new friend, and especially happy to reconnect with an old one, but it’s hard for me to wrap my head around letting go of yet another friendship.  It used to be easy for me to just walk away from someone, but the friends that I have now are, essentially, my family.  Each has a very special place in my heart.  I don’t know how I’m supposed to fill the void when one leaves. 

It’s going to be hard not to call or e-mail him, but I want to respect his wishes.  He knows that I care about him and want him to be happy, and that, should he choose to resume our friendship, he will always have a friend in me.

Life goes on.
