Boyfriend Birthday!







The Boyfriend is 30!
(he can't believe it either)
we had a great time
*and some delicious burgers*
at Hom
in Downtown Charleston
there was Ping Pong
and lots of Fireball Whiskey
it couldn't have been any better!

Today is going to be a good day
I found a pair of earrings 
**that I lost three years ago**
they were my favorite
I was very sad when they disappeared
I've never been able to find a affordable replacement
(i found them in a suitcase pocket!)


maybe I should buy a lottery ticket too

No matter how big or soft or warm your bed is, you still have to get out of it. ~Grace Slick

My bedroom has always been my favorite room in the house
and since we bought a beautiful Anthropologie quilt 
*it has jump started my desire to really decorate the bedroom*
my furniture is lovely
but that's all we are working with so far
~we don't even have curtains~
**sigh**

This is my bedroom set
minus the ficus tree 
it's dark with lots of accent tones

~This bedroom is amazing~
the dark grey wall color is bold
the accent colors 
keep it from being too dark
and it has alot of personality

Now the hard part is getting off of pinterest 
and getting motivated

love poem love: jack gilbert

the great fires | jack gilbert

love is apart from all things.
desire and excitement are nothing beside it.
it is not the body that finds love.
what leads us there is the body.
what is not love provokes it.
what is not love quenches it.
love lays hold of everything we know.
the passions which are called love
also change everything to a newness
at first. passion is clearly the path
but does not bring us to love.
it opens the castle of our spirit
so that we might find the love which is
a mystery hidden there.
love is one of many great fires.
passion is a fire made of many woods,
each of which gives off its special odor
so we can know the many kinds
that are not love. passion is the paper
and twigs that kindle the flames
but cannot sustain them. desire perishes
because it tries to be love.
love is eaten away by appetite.
love does not last, but it is different
from the passions that do not last.
love lasts by not lasting.
isaiah said each man walks in his own fire
for his sins. love allows us to walk
in the sweet music of our particular heart.
