Recent Addition

No, no babies or new pets in our household, but there is a small bundle of joy making us smile in the living room. I haven't blogged in ages (that is to say I haven't blogged for ME in ages, since I'm most definitely still working over at Simple Things), but I had to pop in to share our new addition. We moved the law office to a smaller space as we distribute client files and start shutting things down, so there was a LOT of purging going on. One thing we definitely didn't need anymore were the ancient client information cards stored in small card catalog drawers. When we emptied them and stacked them on the floor, inspiration struck and I knew I needed to take them home with me rather then chuck them in the Goodwill pile. Yesterday I finally found the time to arrange them just so and now we have a nice, new, old side table. I'm over the moon with how well they tie in to the gray wall color, and how they even out the height difference between our IKEA chair and shell rocker, unifying that side of the room. Now all it needs is a terrarium. Right?

Birthday Weekend

Tomorrow is my birthday and I'm hoping to have a lovely day. Josh asked me what I wanted to do and I replied that I'd like to go to my favorite museum, the Amon Carter, and have a game night with my family. So, that's what is on our agenda. There are two photography exhibits at the Amon Carter I want to see- one focusing on landscapes and the other on work. I've picked up all my favorite snack foods for game night and Mom is going to make some German chocolate cupcakes for me. I don't know if I'll do it on my actual birthday, but I'm also hoping to use some gift cards to pick up a few items I've been eyeing. There are some nude flats at Payless that I want, and a scarf at Old Navy that's piqued my interest. I'm also planning on getting a new necklace, to replace a duplicate Christmas gift that was returned. And Josh's mom got me one of the necklaces I asked for at Christmas, but didn't receive. It's shaping up to be a stylish birthday this year!
