Happy Birthday Amy!

by Jamila Pierre


I could go on and on as to how much I love and appreciate this woman in this post, but I've already done that before (HERE). I believe in not just soulmates, but soul clusters, and she's definitely in my cluster. I lover her and probably always will, it still amazes me how far we've come in our friendship. We've been friends now for just about twenty years on and off, as most long lasting friendships do, we've been through it all and some how here we are, growing old together. I hope that throughout my aging years she's at my side, old and crusty, just like me.

Today is my home skillets birthday, she has now officially been inducted into the "you're an adult league".  I did, however, decide to take her out a few days prior to her birthday because I wanted to do something with just her and I. I never mind chilling with her and the fellow heifers in our clan, but I really do cherish the time we get to spend with just us. 

I wanted to treat her to something nice and different, and I wanted to make an excuse to get cute. So we got cute, headed to my most favorite Thai place (Lantern) with empty grumbling bellies, and we took advantage of their buy one get one free drink specials.

For every birthday there's a BIRTHDAY WISH, and my wish for her is that she further become the amazing, talented, brave woman, that she is pretty much already revealed herself to be; and that she acquire all the love, happiness, and clarity her heart desires, for many years to come. 

We also filled our tummies with delicious chicken pineapple fried rice and a bevy of appetizers (Chive patties, Spring rolls, Duck wraps, Cheese rangoon, and Curry pockets).


Preppy Chic.

So Beck of Manfattan.com, and I, decided to have a "dinner date". I remember meeting her a few months ago during a NYC Shop & Swap that I covered and posted on my blog a few posts back, and I remember thinking how laid back and slightly crazy she seemed. ( Crazy in a good way... relatable crazy)

Rewind to a couple weeks back.

She contacted me via email for business purposes and we mutually agreed to have a sit down.

Fast forward.

"Date Night" Lol. I had it in my mind that I wanted to dress slightly edgy and preppy, so that's what I did. I love that preppy look sometimes, I guess it's the sweater over a button down that gets me so excited, or the "Bill Cosby Vibe" that intrigues me from time to time.   

Style note:  Whether the sweater makes it's statement in print, cut, embellishments, or shine; a  statement sweater is an essential in a girls wardrobe. 

Fast forward to the sit down.

We ended up eating at one of my favorite Thai food restaurants and the conversation just flowed, it was nice to be able to sit down with a fellow blogger, (who has a big enough following to where they may get a big head about it), and actually have nice and normal conversation. She was humble, a trait I look for when associating myself with anyone, and when I found out she was an Aries ...well, well, well.

Honestly it was nice to meet someone who has the potential of being someone that you'd like to associate yourself with, on a friendly level, for more than just one meeting... people aren't the easiest to get along with. 

-Cheers to not having a socially awkward time.-
