Now I know you're wondering why I call it that. Well I only wear it on and around my birthday BECAUSE real silk is hard to clean. To be honest its not that difficult to wash but its a pain. So to wash it you have to of course hand wash it with Wool-ite in cold water and rinse that out. Then you have to lay it out flat on top of a big bath sheet and roll it up. Yes roll. Then the next day you have to iron the silk dry.
And not with any old iron. I've got a Rowenta specifically for this purpose. Yup….I have an $80 iron.
So anyway… this is why I don't wear my silk often. Its a pain.
BUT and its a HUGE but….
Its literally the most comfortable thing to wear. Picture this:
A fan blowing across your back making the silk dance across your skin at a cool 72F!
Its everything.
So that's how I spent my birthday. The next day I stayed in bed in said silk and read fan fiction and watched TV. That morning I got up and made grits from scratch and I didn't see a single solitary soul.
Yup…I spent my birthday blissfully alone and lost in an alternate universe.
I also got me some presents!!!!!! Wanna see?
My brand new selection of Euro Shams and King Shams and yes…I needed every last one of them!
Y'all know my pillow situation with my bed is on 1,000 so of course a sale on bedding means I'm buying. King shams are hard to come by and these I got at the Dillard's Clearance Center for a bossy 13.48/pair. Yes that's less than $14 for a PAIR of king shams.
I got two pairs of king shams and one pair of Euros.
Next up….
Its my new favorite thing to do my own nails so I gotta keep the colors fresh!
An assortment of other clothes, pajamas, and bath goodies!
And last but not least
Always….
The ring game stays on the continuous upgrade.
My new middle finger rings….and yes I'm completely stoked about them!
We went to Dame's Chicken and Waffles and it was bossy as hell! They messed up my order so I got an additional waffle for FREE that I took home and ate the next day. It was very very blessed.
All in all….this was a very good birthday. I maximized my alone time and spent time with my family. I did what I love and loved what I did.
Tomorrow…me and ML are going white water rafting. Pray for us. She has to work Monday and we're seeing the Queen on Tuesday at the GA Dome so we need to have it together and in working order.
