Fun, good things from the past few weekends

The end-of-the-week dinners with my cousin, Christy, that I always look forward to. And whatever shenanigans that eventually take place—you just never know.

Dragging my best friend Michelle out to temporarily cure her boy-woes with frozen yogurt and margaritas (which were a tad too strong, but maybe that was the point?)

Random drunk people at clubs who say weird things such as, “Girl, you phwazy!” (rhymes with ‘crazy’).

Bargin book sales at $5 a paperbag. Reliving one’s childhood by reading books you once loved. And having someone who shares the same joy.

I enjoyed some solitary time framing and hanging up artwork in my room, baking with pumpkins, installing yet another shelf, reading, watching movies and listening to new records.

Spending time with my mother and older sister’s friends and clients—all older woman—having a surprisingly great time, and being reminded of the value and absolute joy of female company and friendships, and that they should be cherished.
