November 9

Somehow Nikki and I didn't get around to celebrating my birthday (which is in January) this year, and hers was last week, so we decided to do a double observation today with an extended coffee "date" and pedicures downtown.

It'd been (literally) months since our last get-together, which is absurd since we live two minutes apart, so I was happy to have the time with her. It was really, really nice to just sit and chat, and I headed home afterward feeling... happy. So for that and for her continued friendship --even if we don't see each other as often as we could-- I'm grateful.
