the birthday girl.

me on my third birthday, 1985. see the outline of the wooden thing i'm standing in front of?
yep, that's a speaker the size of my little body, haha. dang, i miss the 80's.

today is my birthday and i am turning 29 (yes, otherwise known as "almost 30"). a long way from that little lass in osh kosh b'gosh and pigtails, huh? well, some days...

apart from going out to eat, we're going to keep things pretty chill this year. actually, our budget is keeping things pretty chill this year to put it mildly. but that's ok as i'm looking forward to a weekend of good food and quiet time with my husband, a family get-together, and some homemade ice cream which i hope to share some proof of after the weekend. if i could, i'd share the actual ice cream with you and hang out for a bit with paper party hats but alas, i'm not sure that trying to get all that through the wireless router would be the best idea...silly internets.

i hope that each of you will have an enjoyable weekend too and i'll see you back here monday, photos of chocolate-hazelnut goodness in hand!
