Separately...
Happy Birthday, meara! I am wishing you such a good year ahead. You are so fucking fabulous.
Oh, smacked in the noggin with a 2x4 wrapped in velvet. Yeah, that's what it felt like.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
Years ago, my regular stylist was out, and the substitute managed to color my hair a delicate purple. It might have been nice, but NOT what I wanted.

Our vw just started a new job that is not wfh, and I’m trying to remind myself not to send her 5 million texts and videos like I’ve done since we both became moms. It’s going to be a weird transition.

Punishingly Intricate
Meara, I hope you have a wonderful birthday. We need to plan on being on the same coast some year to have a Virgo bday extravaganza celebration!!!

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Happy birthday, meara! I'm sorry the previous best friends are being disappointing, that's a drag. Cupcakes and dancing sounds fun!
People my age seem old to me, definitely. Looking in the mirror can be a bit startling on that front as well, though. Lately I have been noticing when the mother of the main character of a book (and who seems to the mc either ancient or, like, spry for her age) is younger than me and it's pretty frequent.

Oh, that would be a lot of awesome in one place, for sure!

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?
Whenever I see a photo of a mildly famous person I went to college with, I am momentarily alarmed at how old they look. (Kristen Schaal and I are the same age, damnit, why does she look middle aged?! Oh...right...)

Not only am I older than Buffy Summers, I am also older than Rupert Giles. Probably the only BTVS character I'm younger than at this point is Anya.

I mean you’re younger than Spike and Angel too!
