Last night's party

was fantastic.



There was food -- fancy ceviche, burratta and roasted tomatoes, arugula salad with shaved parmesan, grilled bread and cheeses. There was trashy food -- onion dip and Ruffles, artichoke dip and bread. There were minty-vodka lime drinks, made in one of those crushed ice margarita machines. There was a soak in the hot tub and lots of talk and gossip. There was a giant coconut cake and champagne. There were gifts and more gifts!

I have just about the most amazing girlfriends in the world. I'm actually sort of speechless for a change, just thinking about each and every one of them. They make me laugh and they comfort me when I cry. They are extraordinary mothers and exemplary humans. I love them, each one of them.

Thank you ladies, for a memorable night -- I feel as if I landed in that glistening, lighted ship and sailed off to somewhere peaceful and filled with laughter.
