i generally don’t even really celebrate my birthday; i am not into them and as a result, when people ask how old i am, i tend to answer with whatever age i will be that year. i am not one of those people that is totally wrapped up in age… [...]

last weekend, instead of baking, i went up to connecticut for the wedding of my best friend from high school. we were the girls that were virtually inseparable, and to some people i think we were just one person. we have stayed in touch but not been as close [...]
