That is totally not vanity.
I made Alissa take pictures of me when I was having good hair days, and when I got my highlights and said, "Ooh! I'm blond! Quick, take a picture!"

I so owe you a long e-mail. Goodness, I am horrible sometimes. HAPPY NEW YEAR!

I promise to have a dinner party and make my famous green beans for when you visit ;-) I'll miss you, and talk to you every day, and I'll be back before you know it. Hugs!

It's official: I'm extending my stay in the city. Yay for not flying hungover! We must get to planning soon...

I like drinking while cooking too!

Your birthday card was so cute (and dead on) that it put tears in my eyes...I could dig being old and decrepit one day if it meant you and I were cackling about famous people over manicures.

And lo an behold, we saw Arcade Fire, and you saw them twice!!! I haven't been able to stop humming "Haiti" since yesterday.

Come hell or high water, we are seeing Arcade Fire. We are. I did not plan my vacation around these shows for nothing!

Thanks for the tip on Arcade Fire... I can't get it out of my stereo ;)

If you and Lisa get bored, and feel like flying 3000 miles for a rescue mission, your girl could use some rescuing. Or a hug & a cupcake.

If you end up making Shumon T-shirts, I want one too.

Send sympathy, Trace - I am home today because I can't breathe without my nose making a whistling sound. I am so, so sexy.
