Birthday Wishes

My dear pal W is having a birthday tomorrow! Happy birthday, sweets! Friday we're going to make her a big dinner featuring a food from Montreal called poutine. It's quite a departure from her usual healthy habits, given that it's made up of some seriously artery-clogging components: gravy, french fries, and cheese. (Edit: here's a cute article from NY Times about poutine.)

Isn't this a cute picture? It's from about 12 years ago, when she and I were budding recycled clothing moguls. We made them, and did all our own modeling, too! I think she should bring back the red hair! But she still looks great and we still often dream up new schemes (well, okay it's usually me dragging her along on some silly idea).

Anyway, just wanted to wish her a happy birthday. She is a great friend and deserves a day of poutine and wishes come true! I hope she doesn't kill me for posting her photo, it's just so darn cute!
