Happy Gal Pals and Buddies Day

March 18, 2004

I feel so grateful for my friendships today. For the girls I’ve known since grade school whom I can meet for bagels and coffee after months and months of not talking. For the magic souls who can look at me and know exactly what I’m thinking without my having to say a word. For the kindred spirits who lead parallel lives on the other side of the country. For the dear ones who didn’t choose me, but choose to love me anyway. For the superheroes who inspire and challenge me to be a better me.

I trust that you know who you are, and I hope you know how much I adore you. Today, my dear wonderful friends, I’m celebrating you.

Hey, if Hallmark can declare a holiday, so can I.

    it is too unbelievable the way you never stop impressing and overwhelming me. never has a woman been so unmatched in her allure, warmth, and charm. it’s truly an honor to be considered a friend by so great a lady.
    thank you.

    I don’t know you, however I visit the site every -so-often and that is just downright awesome – I’m going to tell a friend of mine to come see your words since it will lift her day.

  • I'm Christine, and this is a slice of my life—a sweet, rich, wildly indulgent slice that would taste really good with a scoop of Breyers vanilla bean ice cream. Read more >>


  • I run a darling, friendly, little graphic design studio.
    I look on the bright side.
    I take photos. Lots of photos.
    I wish on stars and on websites.


  • I built my first web site 7 years ago and got 15 seconds of fame. (It changed my life.)
    I launched, then relaunched, an online magazine.
    I admitted to several embarrassing crushes.
    I consumed more bacon than any human should and lived to tell the tales.
