Is It Possible to Die From Too Much Fun?

This is such a great trip, but it's no vacation. It is hard work. In order to maintain the schedule we have been keeping lately we need some serious stamina and frankly we are all a bit exhausted. Yesterday I had a photo shoot with Gretchen and Tomas and their little guy as well as their dog Hannah (whom I adore!) and we had such a great time as well as a nice visit. Then it was off to lunch for Sam and I with the photography girls. Such fun to hang with these three fabulous and oh so talented women, Amy, Rebecca and Mary as well as the adorable Skylar. The hard part about having such fun with my friends is that I want to stick them all in my suitcase and cart them back to Austin with me. I miss them SO much. And that would be the perfect solution because then all my old and new friends would be living in the same town as me. And really, it is truly all about what is best for me, right?And then the cherry on the sundae was dinner with all of my art school friends, Brooke, Ali, Stephanie and Leslie. They are all such smart, funny, beautiful women who I spent time in the trenches of thesis etc with. You never really know someone until you have seen them after an all nighter and strung out on coffee. We went to a great restaurant in San Francisco called Firefly, which was one block from Ali's fab new house in Noe Valley. At 10:15 we headed back to our abode in Berkeley, all four of us so tired we needed to be peeled off the floor. And while Josh was worn out from all day childcare I was happily buzzed on yummy red wine, prosecco, chocolate and the best company. I owe him big time.
