The bf and I — and our little pup houseguest — spent the better part of yesterday down in Maryland helping one of my oldest and dearest friends pack up to move to Montana.  She’s one of those great friends who you know no matter the miles or the months between visits, or even chats, we’re always able to fall right back into stride.  I’ve decided to take an optimistic view to her leaving the East Coast, because as much as it bums me out she’s moving across the country, now I have the perfect excuse to visit places I may not have given much thought to otherwise.  And, yes, in hindsight I realize white lace and knit probably wasn’t the best box carrying outfit option, but it was comfortable and kept me cool so I stand by my choice.
