Today is Larissa's birthday. For those of you who don't know, Larissa is my oldest friend... and by that I mean she is the friend I have had for the longest length of time, not that all my freinds are younger than she is. This photo was actually taken when we were 15 at a mystery costume party at my house. It is my all time favorite photograph of Larissa, possibly because of her long hair, but really because I think she looks like a princess in a fairy tale. (Remember - we were in COSTUME!)

To celebrate Larissa's birthday I will be pretending that I do not have to go grocery shopping and make do with old rice, canned vegetables, and crackers.
