5/5: margaritas for maria

Today is Chris' mother's birthday. She passed away in 2005, and we miss her. We went out to lunch today and had margaritas in her honor. We laughed and shared memories and family stories, and though I wish like the dickens that she could have been there with us in person, I know that she'd approve of our celebration in her name.

Later in the day I had some disconcerting news from work. It threw me for a loop (alas), but then I remembered Maria's advice: "The best revenge is living well." I'll drink to that.
