Today turned out to be a good day minus a stupid headache. But hey, after this month, I'll take a headache for a good day! H took my dad and I out to a steakhouse for dinner. It was really nice.

And this year I appreciated the presents my parents got me. My mom crocheted me a green blanket (my favorite color). And my dad got me two silk pictures (the leopard and the ferns) and a Lassen poster.

The Lassen poster has very special meaning because one summer my dad and I went to Hawaii. Just us. And we got to meet the artist. When my parents divorced, my mom sold all my dad's Lassen paintings. So this is a reminder of one of the few great times in my childhood.
