Between the snowstorm and a sudden and unpleasant stomach bug I picked up over the weekend, we haven’t really done anything overly birthdayish yet, but we’re hoping to have time to go out sometime this week. Packages and emails continue to trickle in - thanks especially to my folks for the prints and to the readers who sent things. Mmm, Lost in Translation!

I also need to go boot shopping pretty soon. I’ve been meaning to replace my dearly departed 14-eye Docs (which I bought my senior year of high school) and pick something up for snowy weather as well. I’ll probably go with 10-eye Gripfasts for the former (perfect for wearing with pants, while my 20-eyelets are better for skirts) and something waterproof and insulated for the latter. I know that all of this is deeply important to each and every one of you - do not try to deny it.
