tonight is susanne’s going away party, and i can’t be there…
not only is susanne a loyal blog reader and concerned commenter, she is also metro’s best employee, one of baltimore’s most selfless teachers, my favorite story teller, the most accomplished brownie baker (and goat cheese fryer), a very level headed adviser, a genuine rebel rouser (in a good way), and my very dear friend. the susanne/anna/laurel/lauren foursome is dissolving geographically as all of us bid baltimore farewell. while i have a lot of one-on-one relationships with girlfriends that mean the world to me, this is the first time i’ve had a truly tight knit group of girls i could count on for anything. all it takes is one “s.o.s.” text message to bring the 4 of us together… or one that says “wine” or “food” or “v.s. semi-annual sale” the list goes on. it’s like “sex in the city” with a very different cast of characters.
have fun tonight, susanne. i love you.
lauren laughs 
the party would have been cooler if you, anna, OR laurel had made it. stupid jet lag/out of towness. i sold my car to taz’s mom this morning. done and done. peace out, ya’ll. safe flight tomorrow…
