I found out this morning Qwest won't be able to set up my phone service until Thursday so here I am with a teensy bit of time at the laundromat (so nice they have computers here but I only got a 15 minute card!) and I figured I better put a comment up before you paint my house black while I am away at work! I love those pictures of you and Julie together. It made me think about what kind of advice I'd give to that young college student that was me if I could talk to her now...I won't put here what that advice IS, but I will say that it reminded me of all our wonderful times in North Berkeley- "jogging" up at Tilden, teaching you to make turkey sausage pasta and showing you how to peel a garlic. One thing I also remember-that continues to be true- was you always had so many amazing books hanging around you and exposed me then to so many things and ideas I never would have otherwise! Thank you for this little jaunt down memory lane!Alex Shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02109059018269508607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21997604.post-1141012082482152082006-02-26T19:48:00.000-08:002006-02-26T19:48:00.000-08:00That put a warm fuzzy in my tummy.

What a wide-open time full of excitement and opportunity to grow.

There are a few girlfriends that I have had since we were 15!! Our lives have all gone in SUCh different paths but when we come together it's like we are 15 again. It's easy and silly and honest. I often wonder why some friendships last and others don't. P.S. I would like to second that hope that we become old friends!! <BR/><BR/>P.S.S. very VERY cute pictures!meghanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06041527732133374839noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21997604.post-1140939612338350012006-02-25T23:40:00.000-08:002006-02-25T23:40:00.000-08:00I love friends that you have in your life that tim...I love friends that you have in your life that time just stands still!!!!

What fabulous memories you have together and I adore that they brought up so many memories of my own for me (replace the nose piercing with an eyebrow in an 8th grade bathroom stall, and you have a glimpse into my middle school years). :). I'm so glad (and of course not surprised) that you have a wonderful friend like this. It's so amazing how friends can stay friends, how you can go for so long without seeing them and then when you do, it's as though not a second has passed between you.

The pancakes are from Cameo on NW 24th (by the Twist Gallery and Urban Outfitters) -- you order pancakes by the "acre" and can get any combination of fruit. I recommend blueberry-apple, or in the summer, peach. Yum! We haven't been to J&M. Will have to look it up. We also love Violet's on Sandy, and Helser's on Alberta. And, Edgefield is a good place to take out-of-town guests for breakfast. I had a waffle there over the holidays that had pieces of cheesecake crumbled in the batter.
