birthday update

its been a great morning already!

I came back from a hectic morning of meetings to find these gorgeous flowers on my desk.

Thanks Dan! I love you!

one thing i forgot to mention. i think i gave myself the best birthday present EVER today... or at least i realized it this morning. i finally fit into these denim capris from Express... i know this must sound completely trivial and random, but it will make sense to the Marist girls- at least jessica and laura.

jessica and i shared these capris. she bought them... but we both adored them. they fit sooo well and were just so flattering. we'd fight over who got to wear them to the frat parties on the weekend. and then sadly they no longer fit. i'm not sure when or how { i'm sure there was too much beer and junk food in that equation, but alas they were too snug} neither of us could part with them. somehow they ended up with me after college. they've moved with me from mom's house, to the north end, then to weymouth. and in a fit of inspiration i checked my bins this morning (after three days of wearing last summer's capris and pulling them up constantly so as not to expose the world to my underwear... which is quite exhausting after awhile... and tempting to leave as is when its soooo hot. i digress). and there in the very bottom bin, were the denim capris.

i held my breath as i tried them on. success! they fit!!! BE FIT did its job. its taken a long time, but those pants fit again. its a really really good day!

happy birthday to me!!! :) :)
