28th Birthday

Well, my reflection on turning 28 is that it's pleasant, but nothing rather special. I would liken it to turning 24. No new rights or privileges are granted to you and you're not thrown into another category of life, like your "Teens" "Adulthood" and your "Thirties."

I celebrated with a day off of work, a trip to the spa and then Mitchell FINALLY took me to Saburo's Sushi in West Moreland. It was delicious and inexpensive. We ordered at least twice as much sushi as we could eat. But now we have leftovers. Yumm. Favorite gifts this year include my new set of Envirosax, flowers from my sister and the trip to Saburo's. :)

Expensive, but cute

I love this adorable set of handmade ceramic tiles. So cool. But they are $200...

Ghost Clock

I love this Ghost Clock. Never seen it in person, but it's just one of those pieces - I think it could work with a lot of different decor. Love.

Thoughts and Support

It seems to be one of those seasons when bad things just keep adding up. Many are suffering from illness or injury and others have lost close friends and family. My thoughts are with all of you. I always hope to have the best quote or message of support. But, I think instead the most important thing is to live a life that I can be content with when the end comes, as it does for everyone, be a good friend, friendly when I may not want to be and a pillar of support when perhaps there is nothing to say.

Bedroom Wishes

Here are the things I need to get the bedroom decor where it should be.

Love this bed for Z Gallerie. King size.

These curtains are heavy and fabulous. Light Silver Sage. Restoration Hardware. 96" x 100" wide x2.

Super cool curtain rod - how easy will those curtains glide?? Pottery Barn. Need 3 of these suckers.

This chair goes so well with the curtains, and is functional! Velvet, also. Macy's. Only probably need 1.

These dressers are super-sweet. Dania. Twin dressers would be good.

No idea what sheets to get. But something simple.

And then a mirror at the head of the bed.

Spirit Kicks

Check out Mitchell's new custom Nike shoes. Designed them himself, of course - Go Ducks! I hope the paperwork in the background doesn't include propitiatory information.... Did I mention that I have my own pair arriving soon, which he made for me in honor of our First Anniversary? Aww...
