Wednesday

out of hibernation

a funny thing happened...

over the past six and a half weeks i discovered in myself a fair amount of composure.  in fact, over the last nearly five months, my discoveries have been crucially life-changing.  this is somewhat largely due to the sudden realization that i am no longer in my twenties.  it's true i've crossed that threshold of age almost half a year ago, so let's just humor the fact that i'm a late bloomer (which is truly true...i hadn't even figured out the world of PC's until two years ago).  over the course of the above mentioned time i've exercised a considerable amount of patience and tight-lipped reservation.  naturally it hasn't all come easy, and in my efforts to persist i set myself to the challenge of finding botanical remedies to ease the pain.  i have become a regular tea swilling, essential oil smelling, vitamin popping fanatic, and i couldn't be more calm.  and now that i'm on the beginning path to centered-ness, the cause of my ailments has been all but relieved; although none too quickly because the habits i've developed over this rather short period of time will i believe benefit me well into the long run.  and now for the big reveal...
I HAVE MY LAPTOP BACK!
my husband's mac is once again fully functioning and so forth now can i.  so as long as i'm on this streak i guess i'll put this little baby away (that is, until i'm ready to compose my next letter to my pen pal (you know who you are girl!!)
it's good to be back~

 (found at the thrift store for 10 bucks; i am truly in love)

Thursday

1 four layer cake, 7 vintage belt buckles, and 40 years of life


my husband's 4oth went off without a hitch! he made it through the entire day in great spirits and in the evening we celebrated with his favorite - german chocolate cake. this cake was truly a labor of love, this being the first year i ever made it entirely from scratch. with four layers, the coconut pecan filling, and rich chocolate frosting, i spent all morning and afternoon on tuesday 'building' it (i felt like this guy). after cake we opened gifts; he has another vintage belt buckle to add to his collection - one of my favorites so far, with a native buffalo theme. here's to my husband!!

over the hill


i'm busy making party plans this week~ my husband turns 40 next wednesday! oh how i love this man. not only does he look incredible for his ripe ol' age, he is also unconditionally loving, generous, creative and inspirational. it's truly hard for me to believe we will have celebrated a decade of birthdays together next week. each year on his big day brings the tradition of his favorite flavor cake, German Chocolate, along with gifts of vintage belt buckles (he's up to six) and graphic trucker hats. he's getting awfully used to these expected collectors gifts~ i'm going to have to add another something to mix it up a bit this year...
