i can already tell it's going to be a good year.

as i just exited a year of my life that started with a fairly eventful birthday and maintained a similar level of uncomfortable intensity throughout the year, i am happy to say this weekend was along the lines of how i would like this year to unfold.

i was surrounded by lovely people.
i had a sweet and gentle gathering of chums around amazing food and a campfire complete with chi chi s'mores, frivolity and sparklers galore.
i got a sassy haircut {the shortest it's been since i was 4 or 5}.
and, the look is completed by the pink leather jacket by cache with its tags still on it that i picked up at a local rummage sale. {yes, pink. trust me it works. everyone of every age that saw me in it said yes}.
and, to top it off, i got a few sweet and unexpected reminders from people with a y chromosome that i am a woman. :}

26, bring it on.
