Internet activity has caused me to fail at my post-every-day-of-August challenge. So we are now changing it to post-as-much-as-possible-during-the-month-of-August challenge. My birthday was this past Monday and it was super perfect. I spent the afternoon eating at Andre's Confiserie Suisse and birthday shopping with my Gma.

Either way you put it, I am glad I am going to be a year older. (Evidently it took me 15 minutes to write this, because I am now 15 minutes away from 27) xoxo r
