April 30th 2009

this is my friend meg. she has been on my blog several times before and i know many of you are already huge fans of her intelligent writing and outlook on life. we went to juilliard together (she studied drama, a brilliant actress) and while we were more of acquaintances over the four years at school, our friendship really blossomed last summer after graduation. she is so genuine and honest about her feelings and life and love…it really gets you thinking. anyway, she’s a doll and if you haven’t yet, check out her blog here.

here is miss meg fee’s list of 10 things that make her terribly happy:
  1. twizzlers & fizzy water
  2. thnderstorms
  3. a good book
  4. the first whiff of fall
  5. bobbing up & down in the ocean
  6. wood floors
  7. adventure
  8. open windows
  9. when the landlord is away (& the silence it brings)
  10. rooftop parties
(when meg emailed me her list she apologized saying it wasn’t very interesting. 
um, i laugh at that. i LOVE this list.)
