Shaughn!

Oh my goodness! In my race for power and glory (Weird Science, anyone?), I forgot to do a birthday shout out for one of my greatest and most gracious friends! I actually sent her a Facebook message in the wee hours of her birthday morning, so I forgot to call her later in the day, and, as I said before, I totally spaced when I was posting last night. It was a long day...

Okay. My friend.

Shaughn is sweet. Shaughn is kind. Shaughn is funny as the day is long. She is a beauty with the most amazing eyes that she uses to great effect when she's chatting with you, and her wit is sharp and quick! She is classy. She is fun. She cooks like nobody's business.

Play-dates at her house were always a highlight in my parenting life because she was my first friend to have a baby, and thus, we were having girl-time whilst dishing the dirt on diapers (among other things).  Before she had her own kids, she used to cuddle and care for my Charlie as if he were her own and I knew she would be the greatest mom. She is also a wonderful writer, a beloved teacher, and everyone who knew her in Cali misses her like crazy-cakes!

Happy Birthday Shaughn!!!!!
