The Blog-Blook-Book

Say that ten times fast, wontcha.

This weekend I had more birthday surprises as the Lambson family returned from Cancun, fake "No Swine Flu" tattoos, tans, and all. We had dinner together and I got more presents! This years highlights included the following:

-music (Weepies Hideaway, Lisa Hannigan's Sea Sew (both EXCELLENT), Laura Gibson, and mixes by Sydney)
-birthday clothes from Plato's closet (including a Vera Wang dress I found for $20--woo! But then I realized it wasn't a $1800 dress abandoned at a thrift store, but rather, it's Simply Vera Wang, the cheaper brand you find at, like, Kohls. So. I pretty much saved ten bucks. Okay. Whatev. Love the dress.)
-a bamboo cutting board
-a drain tray for the dish-drying rack
-socks
-a Kitchen Aid! (Pending progress from my bro. . . has not yet arrived. The bananas will continue to rot until it comes).
-and more!

But here's one of the extra cool gifts from Sam's parents--dun da da dun dun dun daaaa!

It's . . . one year of blogging in the form of a book!

So cool. I know. 172 pages of my own yearbook with color photos, comments, and handwritten "Have a good summer" notes in the front. It's from SharedBook, for those bloggers who are interested in publishing. Love it!

P.S. If you were dying of curiousity about what that mistereous gift was, I will end the torturous suspense. It was a music stand. Who would have guessed? I was totally shocked. I was expecting a pug.
