Second Skin

I am writing this post Sunday night and it's my birthday tonight so I have to make this ultra quick! In case you really wanted to know, this was generally what I wore while I was camping the past four days. I think you can bet that I was wearing this hat and these boots, and the stuff in between was pretty much inconsequential.  I have a very sweet hand-full of people I need to write and thank on Monday morning, but right now I just need to shower and hit the hay (OR MY LOVE MUFFIN OF A FLUFFY WARM BED FINALLY!!) Naw, I actually slept pretty good and was surrounded by excellent company, ate great food, drank good drinks, paid no heed to the clock, laid around and marveled at the warmth. It was an IDEAL break.  And now I am 31.  Time to get to business. I don't know if I have ever said it here, but every year I get older I am happier.  I really don't anticipate that changing either. I feel like I am finally growing into myself each year. Ah, I am rambling.  Sleep time.

If you would like a bit more content though, the very lovely Katy from Modly Chic asked me some interview questions a little bit ago and they are different from any of the others I have answered so far.
