Hi friends! Today, April 1st, is my birthday. The older you get it can seem that there are fewer things to celebrate so I have a very tight grip on my enjoyment of my birthday. I always at the very least take the day off from work. One of my besties got me a pizza steel and I am looking forward to perfecting my pizza-making at some point soon.

Reminder that I’m still totally accepting addresses via this form if you want snail mail. Apparently auto-fill doesn’t give me your whole address, so double-check when you fill it out.
