Mo + Eliza = Love

Tonight, mo pie and I met up for cafe au lait and beignets. She's in town for a conference.

I hadn't seen mo pie since 2003, but our love has not faded. Hers was one of the first online journals I read, way back in 1998 or 1999 -- I know it was before I started mine in August of 1999, but I'm not sure when it was exactly that I first found her. Anyway, she is, of course, a brilliant writer. It is strange, these online friendships. We remember so much about each other's lives from years and years ago and have followed each other's stories and every now and then we are lucky enough to sit across a table and dip beignets in hot chocolate together.

It was so great to see her again. I am really excited about the latest version of her fantastic site, Big Fat Deal. I've read it regularly from the start, and the new design rocks. I am so proud of her for starting such a great site.

I am so proud to know Mo.

mo pie's first beignet!

I completely forgot to ask you if you were watching The Riches. Are you watching it? Do we need to talk about it? Do we need to get Elizabeth in on this convo?

And it was SO AWESOME to see you!

Thanks, chiara & lisa-marie.

mo pie ... I only saw the first episode, but Elizabeth Izzard is definitely watching it. I know I'd like it, but I keep forgetting it's on! Love.
