May you live all the days of your life.

- Jonathan Swift

i'm shameless about my birthday

i love it

"I mean, what is an un-birthday present?"
"A present given when it isn't your birthday, of course."
Alice considered a little. "I like birthday presents best," she said at last.
"You don't know what you're talking about!" cried Humpty Dumpty. "How many days are there in a year?"
"Three hundred and sixty-five," said Alice.
"And how many birthdays have you?"
"One." 

- Lewis Carroll

music to remind me of my boy

and six months of who knows what we'll choose

beautiful little book to log new adventures

Our birth is but a sleep and a forgetting; The soul that rises with us, our life's star, Hath had elsewhere its setting, And cometh from afar; Not in entire forgetfulness, And not in utter nakedness, But trailing clouds of glory do we come from God, who is our home. 

- William Wordsworth

lavender scented and sweet pedestal plate

gorgeous and fun

Wrinkles should merely indicate where smiles have been. - Mark Twain

all that's left

gooey soft ready for toast

love on paper

"Lucky" bracelet from boys and wives

read and made plans before drifting off to sleep

these girls always come to my party

They tell you that you'll lose your mind when you grow older. What they don't tell you is that you won't miss it very much. 

- Malcolm Cowley
