Birthdays. Updates. And birthday updates.

Wednesday, June 25, 2008


So last week I turned {cough, cough}, and it was the first year in a while where my birthday did not entail roller skating, bar crawling, scavenger hunting, dancing to Justin Timberlake until the wee hours of the morn, or throwing my underwear on stage at a rock concert. (Um, long story. Anyway.)

In any case, this year's celebration instead included a very adult-like shopping excursion to Target, Sephora and Barney's Co-op, sushi, champagne, an enormous Betty Crocker chocolate cake and falling asleep at 10pm to the blissfully colorful scenery of The Darjeeling Limited. (Thank you, Mr. and Mrs. C!) Oh, and a big rainstorm followed by a bright rainbow over Georgetown. There was no hilarious debauchery, but it was still a pretty great day.

Especially as I got to do a bit of splurging as well. In addition to some pretty great gifts (the aforementioned dvd, plus the best baseball hat ever), my birthday buys included the following:

*The much-discussed Vanessa Barrantes dress from local online shop Lily Lily, in navy. It is just *perfect*.

*A Malababa bag I'd absolutely loved last season from Barney's, which miraculously just popped up on eBay at a nicely reduced price. I took it as a sign.

*A new ruffly bikini!

*NARS blush in Orgasm. For achieving my dreams of a peachy-rosy summer glow. It's kind of perfection.

*A Sonia Kashuk travel Kabuki makeup brush. I just really like her brushes at Target, and the new, slightly-higher-end collection is a pretty fab deal.

*LipSmackers in Pink Lemonade. Perfectly sweet and summery. I also think I might have gotten this when I turned 10.

*The birthday fairy has also promised a new digital camera, just as soon as I make up my mind about which one I want.

{This is not a picture of my birthday rainbow, but it's just as pretty, and so I borrowed it.}

Happy Birthday! Do you know what kind of digital camera you are looking for? If you want an SLR that is still light-weight and takes gorgeous pictures, I own and love my Nikon D-40! It's fantastic!

Sounds like a pretty good birthday to me.

Happy B'Day!

I remember on my 30th (way back when) I had the inspired idea to go shopping on Worth Ave. Tears and a mini-break down followed. Ever since, I refuse to shop on my birthday on the off chance that I will gain weight on the exact day that I turn a day older.

About the camera, I'm DYING for the Nikon D80. Please get it so I can enjoy the pictures vicariously.

aww HAPPY BIRTHDAY! I have a similar bikini, just without the ruffles. And lip smackers? I haven't seen those since I was in elementary school! I think I want to go get some now. I really liked the chocolate one.

The day NCSX was going to begin taking reservations on the imported Japanese PSP system, I spent most of the day reloading their home page in anticipation of being one of the first to get my reservation in since most people knew the demand for the unit was going to be extremely high. world of warcraft goldwow power levelcheap wow goldwow power levelingwow powerlevelingbuy wow goldEverQuest 2 goldeq2 platI quickly got in my order when they began accepting them that afternoon and then had to patiently wait for the Japanese launch. The day the units arrived at NCSX, they broke the news that many of us already expected, that being that the cost of the PSP was going to be much higher due to their suppliers having trouble getting in enough units to meet the high demand for the units. This caused the already high price tag to jump dramatically. cheap ffxi gilffxi gilfinal fantasy gilMaple Story Mesosmaple story accountmaplestory MesosLOTRO Goldlord of the rings goldOf course that certainly didn't stop me from okaying the new price and having my system dispatched later that day.I had it shipped overnight via UPS and the next day I spent all day waiting for the UPS truck to arrive.

Hey, your runescape power leveling posts have inspired me! - I love the way you directly get to the runescape items point, and then work out- wards. I’ve been trying to do figure out what I want to say about ,that would allow me to do runescape accounts exactly the same thing.
