Spring Things
I have been terrifically busy… being spoiled! I have so many new photos of things to share I don’t know where to begin!! Many thanks to everyone who has been showering me in presents; I love them all!!
But 2 guys deserve extra special thanks– BF2 and S.
BF2 hails from the Aloha state and S hails from the Silver state (making him technically a hell of a lot closer).
From BF2 last week, dr who season 2, a beautiful necklace, and these gorgeous flowers– tulips and irises (my favorite)
The tulips just kept growing– isn’t that bizarre?! I tried to cut them and change the water this evening, but the petals fell off of about 3/4 of them so I had to say goodbye to them :( The red tube is a package of McVittie’s Digestives, possibly my favorite cookies in the whole wide world (with the exception of chocolate digestives, or caramel chocolate digestives– do we see a pattern here?) I usually either drive down to Santa Monica and get them from the King’s Head Pub, or purchase them from a local Indian spices store– got to admit that the colonialization of India had one side bennie for me

Hold on to your seats people because here it is! From S: my very own copy of the OED. Yes, the complete Oxford English Dictionary.
the type is soo small (because they packed 20 volumes of dictionary into one ginormous volume, printed micrographically) that it comes with it’s very own magnifier. How cool is that? I took it to school with me and let me tell you, a dictionary this magnificent in a room full of english majors… well– let’s just say that there were honest to goodness damp panties all around and it wasn’t on account of a certain dashing english prof. this time!!! ::hugs::

and finally, my vase was looking lonely after the tulips said their last goodbyes. So, lo and behold:
purple roses and irises!!!
