Ok, the second part's a lie. But I AM older. Partly because of science (I'm older now than when I started writing this sentence. And older still... And even OLDER... *dashes to the mirror in search of wrinkles*) and also because I've had one of those birthday things. Like I'm the Queen or something.

I managed to stretch this year's celebrations over three whole days: a Work Birthday, a Birthday Party Day, and my Actual Birthday. My Work Birthday included a DIY-d "birthday" balloon (from a recent awards ceremony) and a "2 and 8" badge duo, where the "2" badge was sans safety pin. Because two year olds aren't allowed safety pins... Bahaha
The rest of the celebrations involved surprise homemade cupcakes(!) smuggled into the pub, midnight tuaca shots, a drunken speech, and seriously epic presents; some made my eyes go all watery like they were made of happy puddles, others made me squeal like a piglet who'd just won a trip to Disneyland.

To the point where my phone has now started sending me prompts:
... Ate a salad.
Yes. SALAD.
 |
Well, I had to do SOMETHING to counteract that salad. I've made a shiny new group of friendlings recently, and cheeseboards have become Our Thing. This has resulted in two supermarket trips organised specifically for cheese shopping, and earlier this week a few of us actually went on a cheeseboard CRAWL. It's safe to say my life has never been so brilliantly cheesy.

So, what have I missed? Tell me EVERYTHING!

Happy Birthday. I believe we should have a birthday season so we can stretch the celebration over an entire month. Why not?
ReplyDeleteI wholeheartedly concur! I mean, Christmas gets it own season - so I think birthdays should too :) xxx
DeleteWasn't your birthday ages ago? (Did you get the present by the way? Was worried I sent into to the wrong address!?)
ReplyDeleteThe cheese board group sounds amazing!!! I'd love to be part of a cheese group!!!!x
It was 3rd April - so, yes :) I did indeed and I LOVE it! thank you so much - am sending proper thank you note/letter as part of next missive but still need to finish writing that :) Perhaps you should start a cheese group? I'm sure you'd be more popular than ever! xxx
DeleteHappy BIRTHDAY!!! Even though I'm commenting on this so much later than you wrote it. But at least I'm still in the same month - so it counts. I think?
ReplyDeleteCheese Board crawl sounds amazing. I need that in my life. Do you ever eat so much cheese though that you begin to feel drunk? Whenever we have a Cheese Friday at work we always end up tired and giggly in the afternoon, with a warped view of reality. Probably not ideal as I work in a hospital, but whatever :-P

Thanks lovely! I took your belated birthday wishes as an excuse to eat too much chocolate cake after dinner. Because it's my sort-of birthday :p
DeleteI have never experienced cheese drunkeness before! Clearly I need to up my cheeseboard game!!! I'm off to tell my friends that we haven't been demolishing enough dairy goodness xxx
