My Birthday.

Hi. So it's been a couple of days. I've been busy. 

Crafting.

Painting.

Relaxing.

Working.

And CLEANING.

Oh dear. 

The weather has been great, which makes me antsy for outdoor fun. That is why it has been so hard for me to sit down and write anything. BUT, I am doing my best.

I realized I never told you about my birthday. It was fun. And even though I don't really like my birthday, I liked THIS birthday.

It was low-key and relaxed. I woke up with a happy birthday sign from Jay (the best husband ever, seriously). I love him. The kind of love that makes me pathetic and lovesick when we are apart.

Sweet, right?

Anyway, I went to dinner with my family to this little Mexican Restaurant called El Adobe. My fav.

Here is me wearing a napkin-hat, getting a face-ful of flan at dinner. What a mean birthday tradition those mexican restaurants have. It really gave the family a laugh.

And I got some really thoughtful gifts. REALLY thoughtful.

Jay got me a foxy print:

and some Ektar film. BOMB.

My friend Meghan(my pregnant friend):

{isn't she cute?!?!}

She got me this super cute tea towel.

Jay's grandma (we call her Grandma San Diego, because she is from San Diego) gave me a World Market giftcard. From which I bought these curtains. LOVE. 

And we ALL remember this gift. How could you forget?

 

THEN, after all of those nice things, I had an awesome picnic with my friend Kaylah, where we saw this:

Isn't the water level high this year? I know, right? 

I also got some birthday money. From which I bought this 25 cent basket for my knitting from Goodwill. It was used. And a quarter. Buying used goods is so satisfying when you find a treasure.

I just want to say that all but ONE of those pictures were taken with Que Ricoh. Screw digital cameras. That's right. I said it. Screw them. I feel like I don't even need one anymore. Film cameras are BY FAR superior to digital. NO joke. 

I could go on... but I won't.

Turning 23 was great. Truly.
