So, I had a very nice birthday, thankyouverymuch. I came home from gr. 9 graduation to a Happx Birthdax cake (inside joke, you wouldn’t be interested, I swear), and two more gifts from Rob– the book I’ve been coveting for months, and a blanket I’ve been admiring at one of the local shops but dismissing because I don’t need more blankets, really, even though this was the most gorgeous blue and brown quilt I’d ever set eyes on.

Anyway. The advent of the brown and blue blanket has me thinking about home decorating again; I’d previously been thinking of doing our livingroom in blues and greens, but now I think maybe blue and brown? And, of course, I want to paint the trim on the outside of our house (it’s just so… colourless…), and maybe get a house marker for good measure. Because I’m a Cancer, and we Cancers are all about feathering the old nest.
