Spoil yourself, darn it.

Yesterday, Miss O stayed with Nana while I had a day to myself. I believe that at my age, it really is okay to treat yourself on your birthday. This year, I was pretty lucky!

I picked up this cute little tea towel on etsy. Yes, I am a bit quirky, but I can remember watching Charles and Diana’s wedding with my mom on this horrible console TV we had, and I am sure I will remember this one.

Adele 21. Wow. Adele 19 was fantastic, and this album does not disappoint.

I picked up a pair of Toms Shoes for both me and Miss O. They are so comfy! Miss O loves hers, but they are too big, which is fine, but she wants to wear hers now… poor thing!

And I also picked up a new outfit to wear on Sunday for our party at Gather. Soooo excited! Going to Gather, then to Giuseppe’s. Yay!

Happy Saturday, we are off to the  Madonna Inn for breakfast and then antiquing in Morro Bay. I see more Pyrex in my future!

My little Olivia…

OLIVIA

Gender: Feminine

Usage: English, Italian, Spanish, German, Finnish, Scandinavian

Pronounced: ə-LIV-ee-ə (English), o-LEE-vee-ah (German) [key]

This name was first used in this spelling by William Shakespeare for a character in his comedy 'Twelfth Night' (1602). Shakespeare may have based it on OLIVER or OLIVA, or perhaps directly on the Latin word oliva meaning "olive". In the play Olivia is a noblewoman who is wooed by Duke Orsino but instead falls in love with his messenger Cesario.

The name has been used in the Engish-speaking world since the 18th century, though it did not become overly popular until the last half of the 20th century. Its rise in popularity in America was precipitated by a character on the 1970s televsion series 'The Waltons'.
