andy and i had a little bday potluck at my place, and it was really nice. it was smaller then our usual wine choc cheese parties, but andy asked people to bring my fav foods so there was a lot of fav foods and i'm soooo full.

in the beginning i was like: where's my friends x and y? i was upset that they had not arrived but they did show up... late. they made up by staying late too.

i liked that it was smaller and i got to chat with more people and i was floored with the amount of effort my friends made. my friend olga made a lovely cake, sheila made chicken that took 7 hours, and marc spent all day making cake balls. it gave me warm fuzzies.

now i feel like i need to give back some of the generosity that my friends have shown me.
