TOP 5 INTERACTIONS WITH ME?? (i am shallow and need validation right now sorrynotsorry)

In no particular order!

That first time when you brought TREAT YO’ SELF cakes for all of the newly minted DCPG!

The second time I felt compelled to tag something “fundaaaaaa”—the first time was bitching about the HIMYM finale, but the second was in April 2014 when this picture of S. Satan appeared and we eventually had to dub him as such. It occurs to me now that we’ve never dubbed Sam Heughan anything, even though he is also a life-ruiner with rude cheekbones.

That time I was in D.C. right after Thanksgiving (as I often am, being as that’s where the in-laws are) and we planned to get brunch ‘cause I figured the other DCPGers would be busy with family stuff and instead you rallied the whole crew to come out for waffles! Infinite love for @clubgetright and @spunkyar, who are also top humans.

I can’t remember if that the was the same Thanksgiving as when we verified @stillscape‘s existence (she is mystical!) because we’ve done that a couple of times. But always with waffles.

That other time I was in D.C. right after Thanksgiving and Boyfriend had to work so you escorted me back to your apartment and indoctrinated me with Crazy Ex-Girlfriend. I couldn’t get into the show but I totally enjoyed your hospitality and also your Turkish tea.

BONUS TIE: Parkscon 2015: The Li’l Sebastian Memorial Sleepover and Parkscon II: The Parkening: If You See Something, Say Something, but I feel like those don’t “count” because they were both extravaganzas of A+ interactions with everyone involved.

Session in Virginia Beach last night then hit the road immediately for a session in Maryland this morning. #sleepypeepy #dcpg

For mother's day, I surprised my Mom with an impromptu generations session with me, Mia and Ellie (of course) as well as my sisters and their kids. I envisioned something classic and simple, so Mendell and I set up a mini studio right in her kitchen and voila! “Here's to strong women. May we know them, may we be them, may we raise them." #dcpg #studioportrait #mothersday #generations #daughters #wivesandmothers #celebratingwomanhood #celebratingmotherhood#grandparent Photo by @mendelldcpg
