Everything needs a little sparkle...birthdays are no exception!
As the sun was settling low on the LA skyline, Sparkles rolled up in her shiny new convertible!
"Nice wheels", Wee mentioned as she slipped into the front passenger seat.
"HAPPY BIRTHDAY GIRL!" Sparkles shouted, showering Wee with a huge hug.
"You too!"
And so our two heros set out into the warm night. "God, there really is nothing better than living in LA on a hot night." Wee mused.
"Unless you have a convertible! Then it's better!"
"Eyes on the road Crazy!"
"What? Oh ya. Ha."
Driving Sunset Blvd as the lights blink on, the girls garner some attention in their chrome car. Music thumps out a euro dance beat that both sing along to and laugh.
"This is perfect girl. A perfect end to a perfect Birthday!"
Finally they find themselves perched on cliff overlooking all of the city below.
"You know, this is the last time it will be like this."
"Yea."
In unison they share, "Thank god!"
"Hey Wee, can you believe how far we've come?" I mean marriages, careers, cars, trips, money - no money, cancer - we've really done it all haven't we? Wee- ha!"
"Funny. Yes we have. And here's to the big bright twinkly future!" Wee mysteriously pulls a chilled bottle of Champagne from her tiny bag. They sip from the bottle and ponder and dream the way girls do.
They head back to the city below after finding the road.
"Oooo, hey! Smile girl - paparazzi!" Wee squeals.
"What? Where? I don't see - " Sparkles wonders aloud.
"Girl just smile! You're famous now!"
"Oh yea!"
Wee shakes her head in wonder at how even ridiculous fame doesn't change her friend. Or their friendship.
* thanks for a great Birthday recap girl! Same time next year? Luv ya! - xoxo, wee

Holy crap - does this bring back memories!! We didn't have a lot of extras around the house when I was little, but we always had cable TV. So I was raised on a steady diet of Nickelodeon, MTV and HBO. Hands down as a kid this was my favorite thing on television. I know, a bumper! Designer in training!
circa 1983

This is exactly what it is like in my mind! A very good song, remixed for Europe, with Toki-cutness run amok, and the world's longest intro!

It's 5 am and I am sitting here realizing SXSW is next week and this year just feels like it is whizzing by. Most currently I am camped out in my living room under a blanket admiring the view. There is a litter of B's in the corner, some ER Vets type show on my TV and any casual viewer would be hard pressed to decide if I am pushing 15 or 30.
The good news is that I am nearly all settled into my new spaces. True, my stove still doesn't work (week 3), I desperately need a couch and I haven't sorted the clothes storage issue, but I feel like I am rooting away very nicely. B is proving to be a demanding fashion diva at the office and she and I are currently on the mat with WM. We are going green if it kills me.
It has been a good lesson in patience. I am not necessarily the most patient individual, and I am looking for some change. I want to work smarter. I want to travel more. I want to have the freedom to - explore myself. Doesn't that all sound like a cause you want to donate to? I feel like I am finally figuring some things out that most people learn closer to 15 and that maybe that is okay with me. Now I just want to hurry up and get there, where ever that might be.
Guess I should go back to bed and dream on that.

Tonight on the phone my friend described herself as sparkly, then she told me I need to become Cleopatra.
We LOVE her.
