Just What I Needed (except for the hangover)

It's amazing how a dear friend can make for such a fun evening.

And how a glass of the good stuff and a few more beers can make for such an un-fun morning (okay, majority of the day).

This is the Christina Evelyn that lives life with abandon. And she helped me do the same for about 3 and half hours last night. Amazing food at Tilia (except her pot du creme which I think she literally spit out on the server) and even better conversation. With her and the other diners and drinkers that we quickly befriended over topics like quinoa, Pininterest, Stella & Dot, Playmobil, the lottery and more.

Yesterday, after nearly 15 years, was Christy's last day working in corporate america. She's currently en route to Costa Rica to surf for a week before heading back home to her new cabin in the Wisconsin north woods.

So glad she's back in the USA. Even better that she's chosen a neighboring state to call home again. I sense a lot of Camp Christy in the Schuster's futures.
