This past weekend we welcomed our first houseguest and my oldest friend, Becca (not oldest in age, just in how long we’ve known each other). Although her stay was too short (and always is), it was great catching up with her over sushi at my favorite place, Blowfish Sushi, then brunch at Slow Club on Saturday, and finally shopping in Union Square. It’s great to have friends from the 6th grade who remember what you looked like when you had braces, Coke bottle glasses, and a spiral perm (yes, all at the same time) and loved you anyway. There’s no false pretenses after that!
She surprised me with a beautiful orchids, which I will try to not kill, as a housewarming gift. It’s lovely and the first plant I’ve owned in years.
