Today, I Turned Twenty-Three

Things I Love Thursday...

- Turning 23, obviously! I think 23 has a better 'ring', a better 'quality' to it than 22, so I am hoping that this year will be a monumental, earth-shattering one. (high expectations, me? never....)

- The sun shining through the branches of Congress Park.

- Dinner with my family at Cheesecake Factory (pine nuts in pasta are divine.)

- My dental assistant's purple hair. It was EPIC and I made sure to tell her right away before they got down to filling my (tiny) cavity (sans novacaine).

and most of all....
- All the birthday wishes from my friends...they are all so gold & I terribly love & appreciate each and every one of them. I could just burst & spatter gooey sparkly love everywhere....

Things I Love Thursday

* Faux Mink Throw ... It is so incredibly soft & warm. Wrapping myself in it makes me feel like I should be in a Jay Z video, or at the Playboy Mansion.

* Collaging ... I'm not much of an artiste, but working on collages on all these ceramic tiles laying around my bedroom is getting my creative juices flowing & I love it!!

* The Great Closet Clean-Out ... I've filled at least two to three trash bags full of clothing that I don't wear/care about. Very cathartic!

* Cheesecake Factory's Guacamole ... An orgasm in every bite. Need I say more?

* Simon Doonan's Eccentric Glamour ... This book is SO inspirational & hilarious!!! Deserves it's own posting (coming soon!)
