28 Years
Today is my last day as a 27 year old (earlier this week, Ella saw the number 37 on something and said, “Hey, that’s how old you are!” I was quick to correct her).
It’s been a great year for me, and I anticipate another good year ahead. I feel really lucky that I’m blessed with a generally happy disposition – life almost always just seems good to me, with many things to look forward to. I can’t wait to see what this next 12 months holds.
Also, I’ve already bought myself a little birthday present (I pretty much consider the entire month of September fair game for buying myself “birthday” gifts). I was at Kohl’s last Saturday buying a bedskirt (guest room now has a bed! Come visit) and I saw a chambray shirt on my way out. On sale. Plus I had a coupon.
I’d already purchased two different chambray shirts in the last four months and returned them both (this one from Old Navy and one from Ross). I put this one on over my t-shirt in the aisle, deemed it good, and brought it home.
And this one I’m not returning. It’d be rude, anyway, to return a birthday gift. I think I’d be very offended if I found out.
P.S. My blog has been an incredible source of happiness to me this year, which is thanks to you lovely readers. If you’re so inclined, I’d love it if you told me a bit about yourself or linked to your blog so I can come check it out. I so appreciate you reading, commenting, and being all-around wonderful. I hope you know how grateful I am.
Happy Birthday! And having also just turned 28 on the 12th, I fully agree with your sentiments regarding September being fair game for birthday celebrations. Birth months should be a thing, not just birthdays!
p.s. I may be biased, but September really is the best month in my opinion.. just saying 😉

Happy Birthday Month! take advantage of it, I'm a December baby and have to share. I'm not really a commenter but I just wanted to tell you that your blog is my favorite. for reals.
Happy birthday! I'm a fairly new reader, but already a faithful one. Love what you've done around here. I write over at littlegraypixel.blogspot.com
A day late, but Happy Birthday! You blog and friendship also makes ME very happy. 🙂 Hope you have a wonderful year ahead. xoxo
September is the BEST birthday month:) Happy belated birthday!
Happy birthday! I don't comment as much as I should, but I love your blog and think you are so classy. Whenever I'm at the library and can't figure out what to check out, I pull up your blog to see what you've ready lately. You haven't steered me wrong yet! 🙂
Happy birthday! I love that shirt and those jeans! I was in Kohl's just this past weekend to look at maternity clothes. I really had to use the restroom though – drinking all this water for pregnancy and all – and the restrooms were OUT OF ORDER! I had to leave pretty quick to go somewhere else LOL
WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN ALL MY LIFE??? Ok, that may be a tad dramatic, but seriously. I just found your blog today and I love it. I am a serious booklover too. I just wrote a blog post about how important the library is in our life. I'm going to go pour over your book lists when I have a little more time. I hope you're on Goodreads.com! I get a little giddy to compare book lists with people.
Also, you have a cute simple wardrobe (like me), you're a mama (and a non-nervous mama, you say? High-five.)and you love food. Done. Instant friends. I'm going to look you up on Instagram and stalk you now.
Happy Birthday!! We sort of know each other- through Jeannie of course. But a little more? I'm hopelessly in love with living in the Seattle area. I almost have to pinch myself every day because of my dumb luck that landed us here, of all places!!!! I'm a Seattle Sounders fan (Major League Soccer), I coach my daughter's soccer team- I'm also her Brownie leader and I'm on the PTA Executive Committee for my son's school. No, I don't have a paying job right now, but I don't let that small detail stop me from neglecting my housework! I love being outdoors, but hate gardening. I love to eat, but hate to cook. I love running, but hate sweating. I'm training for an Ironman…
Hope you had a wonderful birthday!!
Happy belated birthday! I'm a terrible blogger these days, but my son's about to turn 2, so I'm sure I'll write something new about that pretty soon. I also have a whole stack of draft posts just waiting to be refined and published, and I swear they'll go live in the next few weeks. I'm determined. So! Check out my blog if you like, but keep in mind that new content is Coming Soon. For realsies. In the meantime, I'm much better at keeping up with Twitter (@sangrialover).
ANYWAY, I love coming here, especially for your book reviews and recipes. Your blog has brought a lot of literary and culinary joy into my life, so thanks for that. I hope your birthday was fabulous.
I found your blog (by happy accident!) on Pinterest tonight and am already obsessed!
