really good birthday weekend!

yay for birthdays. sort of. sometimes birthdays can be complicated or bring about complications...or if life is not-so-great...a birthday can just make the bad stuff overly-obvious. well, who knew that having a birthday when new to a city would be such a great idea! because it was. not only did i feel so much love from portland and north carolina and rochester and other places...but i also had a lot of people to hang out with here who helped me celebrate. what a fun little shindig on saturday with college, farming and new-school friends! it was like a retrospective of the last 10 years of my life. even better, everyone seemed to have a good time, the treats were tasty, the wine and beer delicious and the night just flowed and i didn't have to worry about anything! we even got to see stella the pup wear the new sweater that her mom knit for her. talk about awesome. anyhow, thanks everyone for a splendid birthday.

life is pretty darn good. which is magnified by the fact that tomorrow is a holiday.
wahoo.
lots of hugs from boston.
