i am now 23.
which is good because for the past month i have been accidentally saying i was 23 when i wasn't.
i share a birthday with the thanksgiving weekend,
and i also share a birthday with my favorite author, madeleine l'engle.
i feel honored to be born on the same day as her,
it gives me this connection with her that i love.
i spent my birthday quietly, which is my favorite way.
i have realized that i'm not a big party person....
i prefer quiet small get-togethers.
incredible food
nice lighting
subtle music
well designed invitations...
and my sweet friends.

blythe was sweet and brought her record player so we could listen to my rosie thomas record. so great.

people brought desserts. i love, sugar.
new wallet that makes me feel like a real woman. i love taking it out of my purse. and, the inside is a print!
this is my neighbor david who works at JPL, aka: nasa. since i love space, i now drink from this mug every morning. DAVID.
birthday party #2 was on my real birthday with my family and my roommate roxana. we had cupcakes that came packaged in cups from native foods. hilarious. they're vegan. i, am not vegan, but i love these things. my brothers thought they tasted like cornbread.
and a madeleine quote to send you off on your way--------------
When I am constantly running there is no time for being. When there is no time for being there is no time for listening. I will never understand the silent dying of the green apple tree if I do not slow down and listen to what the Spirit is telling me. GLIMPSES OF GRACE, 117
