i turned twenty-two on wednesday.
it has been a lovely few days of friends, flowers, a few drinks, lunches, phone calls...
a friend, c., gave me a BEAUTIFUL bouquet of flowers, yellow-y with an orange tint, roses of course, & some other yellow/green flower i don't recognize but they are both gorgeous in a vase. no one but my father ever ever ever has given me flowers, & from a friend like her they mean a lot.

i do enjoy my birthday.

soon, i will begin posting my inspirations & favorite things. this will not just be a blog about whatever ramble is in my head (that's what text messaging & friends are for, right?).

i hope whomever might randomly, regrettably, have stumbled upon this is having a beautiful moment in time - where ever you are, whatever you are doing.

I MEAN IT.

AMPERSANDIAC

i love ampersands. they mean a lot to me. i have one on my wrist, permanently.
however, today i wish i was a man.
a businessman.
with fancy suits.
because then i could sport THESE bad boys.

oh yes.

(also, this whole idea of a blog devoted to ampersands makes me feel tickled & overjoyed & ahhhh...)

you're a handsome devil. what's your name?

my mother & father restored my grandmother's vanity table for me. it is sitting in my bedroom with two pretty lamps, my toilette items, & a mirror. it has a lovely skirt. i am very thankful for that.

my cats, ophelia & tegan, cannot seem to figure out what to make of said skirt. tegan left a hairball under there for me this morning.
