#93 How Did This Happen?!

How did I go a whole month without posting anything?!?!  It's bad.  Too many things going on and too much broken computers at work and not enough coffee.  I vow to make up for my lack of posting and make it to #100 by the new year.  I also vow not to give up on color like I did this week when I wore plain black shirts two days in a row. My last vow (but certainly not the least!) is to not stress out about the holidays and just enjoy each moment as it comes-- especially skipping lunch to stand in DVF sample sales lines in 20 degree weather where it's all you can buy for $40 because your co-worker has an in.  Party on!

#80 Places Set

One long table coming up!  This weekend I'm planning on building a dining table.  I found a sweet website, where the writer, Ana White, builds furniture and shares plans that you can build yourself, from the easiest to more advanced.  It gave me the courage to make something useful and not have to spend a million dollars on it.  With a few table building helpers and a tool donor, hopefully it will be a success! Then, whenever you come to visit me, I will have a cute little table set up like so to welcome you...

#76 Party Prep

Birthday party tonight!  Birthday party tomorrow night! 

Cute dresses are going to be getting their fair share of wear this weekend.  Everything is so festive right now that I'm tempted do up a wall in my apartment like so:

...and I'm very tempted to purchase a pair of birthday shoes comme ça:

#75 Summer Celebrations...or How To Prepare for Another Year of Being Alive

Nothing beats August birthday parties, BBQs and Southern adventures.  They are always rejuvenating and a last hurrah before the cool weather sneaks its way in, taking over the summer and turning to fall... 

Except in Alabama where summer lasts into November... & sometimes January.

Happy Birthday to all my fellow Leos!
