23.5

Hey!

I am so excited! It is my half birthday tomorrow! This is the day to celebrate (and lament) the fact that half of my year '23' is over. I always pay particular attention to this day. I feel that its a good time to contemplate what I enjoyed about this past 6 months, and take some notes for how to act/feel/do/experience in the future. I try to do fun things for myself on this day too. I am super fortunate this year that my half birthday falls on a Sunday. That means a drink to myself at midnight, some shopping and maybe a new hair-do tomorrow?

I also came up with a new tradition, where if somebody wants to get me a 'birthday' present, then they just have to pay half! I will pay for half of my present. I thought it was beyond genius. I am sure that most people think its ridiculous, but my mom thought it was adorable too! She said that I should pick out a new Fossil purse (I love Fossil Purses, they look nice but are cheap enough that if you spill something on it, you don't FREAK OUT!). I've been eyeing a few these last couple of weeks and I thought I would share them here! Two of these I set my sights on this winter, but I feel that they will translate nicely into the spring and summer seasons. Particularly here in the Pacific Northwest, where people still sport the darker, earthy tones in all seasons-and it doesn't get hot enough to wear as little clothing as possible.

Anyways, here they are!
