But in this case, I will make an exception. As y'all know, the past few months have been rough. My friends have been (mostly) great about helping me through it. This weekend, my friend Reen told me that something she'd gotten for me had come in the mail. We went to her place in between volleyball and dodgeball last night, and she presented me with

a signed picture of Matthew Rhys!

Backstory: A few months ago she mentioned that via Facebook she'd gotten back in touch with someone she went to school (camp?) with and that he lived in LA and worked on Brothers and Sisters. She'd never seen it. I told her how much I loved it and how Matthew Rhys was one of my five. Knowing I was feeling low, she asked her friend to get me his autograph. Not only did he do that, but he made Rhys sign the picture a few times because he kept spelling my name wrong.

I have good friends.
