It’s called Birthday Boxing day.So every year after my birthday if I’m disappointed, I get to go buy myself presents and not feel guilty.

Only now there’s more.Valentine’s boxing day.Halloween boxing day.

Anniversary boxing day.. Our 6th anniversary was on Saturday, and although it wasn’t lame or disappointing at all, I did go buy myself a present today.Just keeping up with traditions, you know?

Well, that’s what I tell myself because it’s something I really really wanted but definitely don’t need.

It’s for my front hall renovation, of course!.So I waited until the day I could put all these elements together thinking it would all come out looking great and really anchor that corner of the room..

I added some daffodils from the yard, because I always think they make everything look even better.. Then I stood back and looked at it.. And tried to love it.. And the same thing bugged me about it, that always bugs me about everything.. And I said to myself, I said “Self, just stop it.It’s not going to work.

I’ve been putting lipstick on a pig.Several pigs actually.
