a- her sense of humor. she told me a story about having a guy try to hit on her as she picked up a script at the walgreens. as she scurried to her car, she held up the bag and yelled- "chlamydia!!"

b- she realizes who she is, and who she is is my daughter. we were talking about the effect we both have on insecure people, esp women.
told her the story i tell on myself- i can walk into a room w 10 strangers, walk out w 8 bff's, one person going wtf was that, and one person who goes home and sharpens their knives.
she nodded along, and w/o skipping a beat said, "ya just gotta have a bigger knife"

she is moving to nyc to be w her distance honey of 2 years. she will be transferring in her job as a kitchen manager in a chain restaurant. prolly gonna get married at some point. glad i will be invited!
