50 years young

i think you can tell a lot about people by the company they keep. great people tend to have great friends. my mom has great friends. (and you too dad, but this post is about mom cuz it's her special day :) anyway, people love my mom. it's easy to understand why.

she's silly and sassy and particular and organized and considerate and funny and passionate and and easygoing and emotional and the little things in life amuse her. she has great friends. and many of them are coming over tonight for her party. i'm excited.

incidentally, i also have great friends. and today i'm going to give the credit for that to my mom. thanks for teaching me how to be the kind of person that people want to love.

happy birthday mom!
