Oh My Chair!
BAM! This is my chair. It's amazing. My birthday present rules (thank you Seth). Now I need to make a little magical corner by the bookcase, and I can cuddle up to draw, read, play on my laptop, um... basically do anything I want! In my FABULOUS, oh so COOL, absolutely fantastical CHAIR!

8 - 18
Today is my birthday! I am totally 25. Weird! I'm a self celebrater, so I had the day all planned out. Read the horoscope in the am: "It's as if you are stepping up to bat and everyone on the other team is pitching to you simultaneously. Others might crumple under such pressure, but you have the mind of a Jedi warrior today. You are up for the challenge; pick the incoming toss that you like best and hit it out of the park."
Yeah, totally boring I know. Oh well. Next task, go buy a flower lei. This is one tradition from Hawaii I would like to continue in my life forever. So I go to the Hawaii Shop, they make me a beautiful lei right on the spot, and as I'm walking out check out who I run into.
FOR REAL! It was kind of amazing, and really solidified the whole horoscope truth in my mind :) After breakfast we ventured to downtown Seattle for a taste of the aquarium. We have never been in the two years we have lived here, and hearing that they have done a lot of cool renovations we figured we would check it out. Well, I guess I'm an aquarium snob because it was terrible. It was expensive to get in, and then every exhibit looked like it was for kids ages 2-10. As I looked around the packed aquarium, I realized that was really the only age group there. Hm. Oh well. Definitely never going there again. The only cool spectacle of the place was the octopus.
We lasted under an hour before I admited my bad judgement, and tried to justify the $30 ticket total. Some shopping, some cake, and some good ol' Seattle rain storms to tie together the afternoon, and now we're sitting at home waiting for a fun night of mojitos and nacho plates. Yum!

Tea Time!
On Thursday, August 2nd, a tea party was held to celebrate a wedding and all of the wonderful women in my life. It was fabulous. Here are some pictures of the obsessive details and fun completion!
First: the cupcakes. Making them was a blast. The process involved myself and my mum, a couple of late, dedicated nights, and lots of sprinkles!
Second: the party. Invitations, party favors, a label for each treat, party hats, colorful lanterns, fabulous dresses, and tea cups galore!
