Heather? In Seattle? Really?
Fri Apr 21, 2006
Yesterday after my regular weekly pilates session in Seattle, I dropped by Heather’s house. Yup, dropped by. It seemed REALLY strange to me, considering the fact that for the 9 or so years of our friendship we’ve lived across the country from each other, and done most of our communicating over the phone, in emails and IMs, and with actual in-person visits about annually. To just “drop by”, well WOW. We walked through her new neighborhood, lucked into a great inexpensive sushi place for lunch, and followed it (thanks a lot Heather) with a quick stop at a cupcake shop. Actually, my girls thank Heather for that, they loved the baby cupcakes I brought home for them.
Seattle. As in, our friendship will be a real life one instead of a phone one. Those of you who know me in real life know how much I hate talking on the phone, so this is beyond cool. AND there will be monthly wine nights! AND she and her significant other (whom, if I may gloat for a moment, she met at MY wedding last year. *gloat*) can come to visit me here too. Yay!!!
Life is feeling pretty damn good today.

Sad Heather left Minneapolis, but happy for both you & her. Man, does she look happy (& well matched) in her Flickr collection with her new man! Yes, Jane, you do get to gloat. Where do I find a woman I can make smile like that!? Whoa!

It always makes me smile – and makes my own day a lot better – when I come across someone who thinks that “Life is feeling pretty damn good today.” The universe does allow us those days when everything come together and it is a moment that we are obligated to share! As a long time fan of yours and Heather’s (and of her portraits of you!), I’m eager to see if her move prompts any further sex-positive, artistic collaborations. And hey, monthly women’s wine nights are a great start! Your happiness really helped me through a hellish Monday so I had to come back and say thanks for your joyous posting. Isn’t it nice to know that colds and pessimism aren’t the only things that are infectious?!

Just let me know if you need a supplier for that wine night thing………..
Friends out east.

Ha!
I just found this.
(And bi-monthly, at a minimum, if I get my way.)
I was going to have the wine nights out, but ummm… if someone just wants to ship us wine, I’d drink it. :P
See you next week!
Now, back to battle the slugs….
