Being angry doesn’t solve anything and it’s certainly not the best emotion to foster. I think this will help tremendously in becoming the best version of me.

One of my maids of honor and her amazing mother helped orchestrate my bridal shower last week, and a bunch of us spent the night bar-hopping our way through NYC until four in the morning. I don’t get to spend nearly enough time with so many of my girl friends, so it was such a fantastic experience to have so many of my favorite ladies in one place.
They also spoiled the hell out of me with gifts, which warrants an army of gushy thank-you cards being sent to all of them. The whole day just reminded me how lucky I am to have the best friends and a great adopted mom, and I really want everyone to know how grateful I am.
The stack keeps growing!

I can’t walk into a bookstore without finding something I have to buy, so the to-read shelf is getting a little daunting these days. But I really can’t say that I mind at all.
