April marched into my life with a little bit of the blues. Last year I celebrated my birthday with a bang...lots of friends, my
favorite bar, Howe Girls with me, and a trip to Rome. This year...yeah, parent conferences and dinner by myself.
My lovely little sister has a birthday just before mine, 9 days to be exact, and when we were little we celebrated almost all our birthdays together. So this year, on my birthday, she received a weepy phone call saying how much I missed her and wished she were here to celebrate. And what does the BEST SISTER EVER do??? She buys herself a one-way plane ticket to LA! BOOM! This is HOWE we do it!
Sadly, she did have to go back. I did get her
for over two weeks. We wanted to knit, I swear we did. And one night
we managed to bust out the needles and yarn but ended up falling asleep
before any progress was made. Actually, that's not true. I fell
asleep. She knit. So what did we do?? Well....
 |
| We stalked children's book authors |
 |
| We ate the bomb homemade ice cream sandwiches from Diddy Riese |
 |
| Jessie made a sign... |
 |
| ...to take to the Dodgers Game... |
 |
| ...to try to get Matt Kemp to marry me! |
 |
| We went horseback riding |
 |
| I sat a lot |
 |
| While Jessie and Nikolas James Pumpkinhead knit |
 |
| We spotted Ryan Miller while out for sushi and got this amazing picture |
 |
| And Jessie looked longingly after him when he left |
 |
| We smoked cigars (thanks Dad!) and drank champagne on my roof at sunset |
Yeah, it was a big ol' sister love fest. Thanks Marmie and Papa Bear for giving me the fabulous birthday present of my little sister! SMOOOOOCH!
