39 years ago today...

last night was a celebration!
it was the eve of my 39th birthday!
the last birthday in my thirties.
i get all sentimental about stuff like that.
"i'll never have another birthday in my thirties again. ever."

not that i feel old. cuz i'm not.
it is just a fact that from now on, my birthdays will have a larger digit in the place value of ten.
(ok, teacher!)

red wine was used to toast this anniversary of my entrance into the world.
and then some white.
and then some more red.

eventually, we ended up at the club charles where we were in the wonderful company of our sweet friend, stewart.

she was just getting off work and joined us for a cocktail.
goslings on the rocks was placed before me.

well...you know...i can never get the rhyme straight until it is too late.
i am talking about:
"wine before liquor, never sicker.
liquor before beer (or wine), never fear"

on top of screwing up the order in which i was drinking, i am not USED to imbibing that much alcohol in one night.
so.
today.
was a fuzzy-due-to-being-hungover birthday.

but i managed to make myself feel a little better with a pair of john fluevog boots!


it is tradition that each year i buy myself a pair of boots for my birthday.

i found this treasure at ma petite shoe and chocolate (pure evil!) in hampden!

then, we went and had a little of the hair of the dog...


which made me feel better, but very sleeeeeeeeeeepy.

alas, i am home and packing for our trip.
paul and i leave for the outerbanks tomorrow morning! we will be there for a week!
woo hoo!
and then, back to the shorties!

kisses blown to all of you. will write when i return, unless i find a wi-fi cafe'!
