Love is Free and Life is Cheap ~and as long as I have me a place to sleep, clothes on my back and food to eat, I couldn't ask for anything more.

The Day I Met Erik...

Eight years ago I met Erik at a Denny's in Friendswood. My whole life was changed because Starbucks didn't stay open late enough. If he would have known that I was reading Sara Teasdale and listening to music that makes his ears bleed he might never have spoken to me. This is the only context in which I will say this, but, thank God for Camel cigarettes.


And then this year, I find that my sister's birthday is on that same day! I was so excited to share our day with her that I made the most interesting and difficult cake I could find. This is what blood, sweat and tears looks like when you mix them with love and food coloring.
Happy Birthday Sydney!!
