The weekend to end all weekends.

My closest friend Caitlin will be here in less than four hours to spend four days in DC with me. She's the BEST. Ten reasons why:

1. Her brain is as convoluted and quirky as mine, which leads to fantastic conversation.
2. She makes me laugh. Hard.
   
3. Her creativity and artistry inspire me.
4. She's always up for high jinks such as founding a Kite Society or sitting on other people's porches (people we do not know who are probably sleeping) late at night.
5. She sings Spice Girls and Weezer with me at the Tavern even though they always yell at us that it isn't a karaoke bar.
6. She cries at movies. As much as I do.
7. She introduced me to Arrested Development and Freaks and Geeks. Need I say more?
8. We have the same curly hair woes.
9. She can bake laps around Martha Stewart.
10. She's been around to take care of me for nearly four years, and I can totally imagine us growing old together and sitting in rocking chairs on (someone else's) front porch watching a sunset.

Can't wait to see you!
