23 reasons to eat breakfast together

Sometimes the day gets wasted on a weekend when the weather is grey, and there are no obligations. There are Saturdays, and Sundays, and sometimes even Mondays when sleeping through lunch (sometimes unequivocally) seems like the better alternative. But it's nice, every once in a while, to see what your weekend friends look like in broad daylight.

Sarah's birthday has somehow turned into an entire birthweek, what with everyone vying to show their friendly colours. Birthday coffee, and birthday gifting, birthday dining, birthday drinking, birthday dancing, birthday emails, birthday ecards, birthday texts, birthday sex, and then, of course, belated birthday breakfast.

Friday night was spent elbow deep in cookie dough and muffin gunk.



Saturday, a small, humble, albeit hungry crowd piled into my small, humble yet accommodating apartment, and waited to surprise the birthday girl with one last birthday revelry.

Consumed at leisure were croissants, tea, apple torts a la Moskal, champagne, champagne, champagne, and pastries from Sobey's that Genna "handpicked herself!"

A perfect day, all that was missing was the sushine and our sickly little AV. (get well soon).


How will we ever top this next year?

the amateurish woman writer, instead of regarding words as interpersonal communication, a means of appealing to others, considers them to be the direct revelation of her own feeling; it seems to her that to choose, to erase, is to repudiate a part of herself; she does not want to sacrifice any of her words, at once because she is pleased with what she is and because she has no hope of becoming anything else. her sterile vanity comes from the fact that she is very fond of herself without daring to analyze herself.
