Shout out to Mir
Happy 31st birthday to Mir!
Mir and I met covering city council and school board meetings a few years ago. We enjoyed mocking the meetings, other media types and exchanging "oh no she/he didn't" glances. Being the lone liberals in an overly conservative town made it easy to become instant friends.
Since those meetings, we've both moved on to other careers in different cities. But we continue to share a love of coffee and wine, shopping at Target, Project Runway, hating people who ban porn and other general tomfoolery.
We just celebrated Mir's big day with a classic slumber party. Highlights included adult Mad Libs, six bottles of champagne, beer, half a bottle of saki, shots, tons of junk food, including Little Debbie snackcakes, bad movies and power ballads. In addition, someone left early, someone woke up with permanent marker on her forehead, someone vomitted, someone left in the middle of the night and everyone had a blast.
It was a great way to kick off a new year, full of possibilities and fun. Thirty-one will be a good year, Mir. Enjoy every minute!

Thanks Amy! The good news is that everyone is also now accounted for.
It was a great birthday, and the third I've had the honor of having you at the party. Let's plan to do it again this time next year.
I'm glad we found the one that got away. I'm not sure how she made it anywhere.
I'll mark my calendar.
