I am lucky lucky lucky. And totally in love with my friends right now.

I had perfect weather today -- not too hot, sunny, breezy. And I had lovely and amazing people come to my house to sit outside in said weather and help me eat 100 pieces of fried chicken. These said people brought their desserts and sidedishes made with love, their delicious pies from stores, their bottles of wine and beer and cider, and their charm. Some people brought me an amazing birthday card art piece involving a typewritten story based on my name, a turquoise earring, and an International Male model. Some people brought -- on their bike with a trailer! -- a giant cooler of sodas and ice. Some people (like the one I live with) commissioned homemade empanadas from her co-worker, helped procure the above-referenced chicken, as well as other general hosting duties like sending people home with leftovers and cleaning up the kitchen afterwards. Everyone was gone by 9:15 pm and all that is left is some flattened grass, a (still) sparkling clean apartment, and a fridge stuffed with goodies.

And one friend took some stellar shots of the first half of the picnic. (The second half of the picnic featured about dozen or more people, dimmer lighting as the sun set, and a lot more chicken bones and empty beverage cans.)

I called today to place the order for the 100 pieces of fried chicken for the extravaganza on Sunday. I was actually slightly nervous, I've been meaning to call earlier this week, as I wasn't sure how much notice they would need. He put me on hold, got a pen, took my name and phone number and that I would be there at 3 pm, and then he said, okay, that's it. Do you need a credit card number? No, you can pay when you pick it up. Then he gave me the subtotal and said, and if you aren't here by 3:15, your order will be canceled.

So if we're running a few minutes late on Sunday, please don't rush to Popeye's near our house and buy up all our chicken.
