Happy Birthday To Me!

A little history: I’ve never liked my birthstone, blue zircon, because it’s this pale, weak turquoise that, well, I’ve never liked. But…

…we December babies now have a new birthstone! It’s this pretty light blue with a violet cast to it. How do I know this? Because my first birthday present of the day was a lovely necklace from Denis.

Of course, I then had a laundry crisis, because everything I could have worn to show off my new present needed to be washed. It’s amazing how fast things go through the wash, though, when you only put a few things in the washer, then dry them on volcano heat. :)

And no, I’m not going to tell you how old I am, because I’m old enough to know better!
