B-Day

Today it's my birthday! It's also my Mom's birthday, and the first time she is exactly twice my age. Cool.

Since I have only been here in Colorado for a week, I have had a very low-key day, where I have simply set out to be kind to myself and take care of a few things (mainly household) at a slow pace, with lots of strolling in the sun.

This evening, I got myself some Rice Dream chocolate fudge ice-cream and put a locally made beeswax candle on top:



It was yummy (and here it's hot, so even better) and the beeswax candle smelled delicious...

Right before I left, Irooshka also gave me a send-off and pre-birthday present: a sailboat cruise on the Puget Sound.



The weather was perfect...




Oh, and my place is taking shape! The kitchen and dining area have (almost) been tamed:





I have even put up a bulletin board made of cork tiles, and have covered my walls with pictures (there is a goodwill just two blocks away from my place, and I can get tons of nice and cheap frames there).





More pics to come...
