Well, it’s been nearly 2 weeks since my birthday. But, I’m a big believer in celebrating for as long as possible. Birthday-week, birthday-month – it’s all good!

Have I mentioned that my favorite band is Weezer? I think I might have… As part of the birthday week festivities, Mr. G got us tickets to see the greatest band EVER at the MGM Grand at Foxwoods!

This is the Colorstrology reading for my birthday. Intriguing and beautiful, isn’t it? Seems I chose the right career to express my creativity!

Today I begin the last year of my twenties – which is a far cry from the little girl up there, blowing out those 6 candles.

In my 9th grade French class, I learned that my birthday is a national holiday… in France. As we went around the classroom stating our birth dates in French, my teacher’s interest piqued when I insecurely mumbled, “quatorze juillet?” She kind of went into a French frenzy – clapping and squawking in fast French. She went on to explain that Bastille Day is quite similar to our Fourth of July – complete with fireworks and parades. Très cool!

Colorstrology is a fascinating blend of astrology, numerology, and color theory that offers exciting insights about our lives and relationships. The book features 366 “birthday colors” that illustrate who we are and how we behave, complete with Pantone color codes for reference. It also includes 366 perforated swatches so you can take your birthday color wherever you go.

I find the zodiac and astrology thing kind of interesting and at the very least, entertaining. I loved that this book that put a design ’spin’ to it all. Just for fun at a family gathering, I gave each person a Colorstrology reading and it was actually quite insightful and made for good conversation. I also use the book for inspiration for design projects – on the computer and in the home. The site also offers free e-cards so you can send a friend their birthday color.

Happy Birthday to my wonderful mom, her birthday color is “Nile” – a serene shade of green.  It was a great day, Mama!
