Such a good day yesterday!  So much to be grateful for:

• My best friend moved to Madison!  She used to live two time zones away, and now she lives only two blocks away.  We had a great lunch at the Willy Street Coop and are ready to let the fun begin.
• Drinks on the terrace with a great friend to catch up and celebrate getting through grants.gov.  Grant writers of the world know what a big accomplishment this is!  Also – I was finally photographed on the terrace in something other than my summer uniform favorite green dress
• Meeting someone new who has a lot of the same personal/professional interests as me and a GREAT idea for a book
• new beers
• red wine
• cute summer dresses
• anticipating a great weekend
• cute purses
• cute accessories
• basketball rescue missions
