birthday goings-on

lazy, lazy morning. took a long bubble bath, watched some TV and read magazines, played with angus. i met up with K for lunch, and it looks like we both had the same idea -- both of us brought 2 cupcakes to celebrate my birthday and her promotion. *chuckle* we had some nummy pork tacos and a cupcake each, and dished about work stuff (her promotion is a great opportunity for her, i'm so psyched). then because i had the whole afternoon and no cash, i decided to hit bloomie's to see if i could get something on the store gift card that's been burning a hole in my wallet.

bloomie's is an odd place for me. the stuff is so high-fashion a lot of times, that i can never justify spending my money in there. especially their shoes, bags and jewelry. but sometimes i have some luck with clothes, so i spent about 2 hours on the 2nd floor trying on anything i wanted, regardless of price. i actually found several cute things that fit great (minor miracle), and had them hold them overnight for me... i'd need them for work in a few weeks, and they're gorgeous pieces (all sigrid olsen *drool*)... i just need to figure out if i would wear them enough to justify spending almost $400 total. this is what i have on hold:
