Uh oh, long time no post...

What can I say? I've been busy! I'll be the first to admit, I'm not a good blogger. I'm most certainly a busy bee, to the point that normal conversation with live humans can even be a challenge, let alone sitting me down in front of a computer long enough to type something other than an email or a proposal. But alas, that's not your problem!

I recently celebrated my 25th birthday, and we did this by inviting a slew of friends from all of our various factions of our lives because, well, they're our friends, and also for a bit of a social experiment. We all have friends from various places, school, work, old jobs, friends of friends, etc., but how often do we get the chance to put them all together? And you wonder, would so-and-so get along with so-and-so? Would they even mingle? Would they see new sides of us once they got to know our other friends, and would they like that side? Dan and I took that chance, and you know what? It went great! We couldn't believe it! We didn't even need to be there!


Honestly though, I think I discovered the secret, the ultimate key to making people mesh. You know what it was? Cheese. Really good cheese. A lot of it. We had probably 8 kinds of delicious cheeses, from mozzarella and Wisconsin cheddar to crazy spanish ones that no one can spell nor pronounce. It's true of any great comfort food recipe: use cheese as a binder. It was one of the greatest, most comforting, fun and delicious birthdays I've had in a long long time.
