Happy Birthday to you. Happy Birthday to you.
Katie darling turns twenty-five today, and since she made such a lovely birthday list pour moi I thought it only polite that I return the favour. Without further ado, my top 10 reasons why Miss Merch is worth celebrating …
- She understands just how much love (and work) goes into producing dense cappuccino foam.
- She knows how to bust a move during a 4am electro (or occasionally, a Britney Spears) dance party
- The woman can pour a real glass of wine
- She always gives in to my Hamilton nostalgia whenever I (used to) pay her a visit – you’d think there would only be so many times one would put up with window shopping at Pure followed by bean bar pesto – but Katie’s happy to indulge.
- She’s managed to land herself one heck of a man…anyone who wakes me up with a non-fat latte and a blueberry white chocolate scone after an impromptu sleepover is a keeper in my books
- She loves books…good ones…and she’s always happy to recommend/let you borrow her inspired literary choices (the same goes for movies, music, fashion – the woman is a pop culture savant)
- She leaves hysterical and completely unintelligible voice mails that have me howling with laughter every time
- She totally supports the universal truth that leggings > pants
- A total class act in the kitchen, Katers has culinary skills that put the rest of us to shame – she has come such a long way since her signature dish from university days: frozen chicken fingers
- She’s full of adventure, from her covetable wardrobe to her latest move off to Korea she never ceases to amaze me, if not make me a wee bit jealous.
And while I miss her dearly I know that she will have an absolutely wonderful celebration today. So raise a glass of champagne for me my dear, and toast your fantastic self. Happy 25th!
oh, well this just almost made me cry! i love everything!
