Liam's 2nd Birthday Party

It’s my party and I’ll bite every lolly on the table and put it back in the bowl if I wanna!

It was the sugar fueled 2nd birthday party of awesome on Sunday.

Kicked off my birthday last Friday at the gym – I’d been awake since 4:30am, so why not get up and hit the gym at six so I could indulge later in the day? ;) This was after getting a cute cute tote bag from Rish from Honeybee in Newcastle, that I hadn’t told him I’d been eyeing off! (sorry have packed it away!)

Met with Rish afterwards for a coffee at the Purple Pickle.

I made it to work about nine, with a bag of mini redskins, milkos and sherbies to hype everyone also up with (because I was bouncing off the walls!) and the birthday fairy had been overnight!

Birthday/last day at work

My desk was so clean, only because that was my last day! There was 2pm cake – one of the girls made me a cake using a gluten free Rowsie’s Cakes cakemix she’d picked up a supabarn, with some raspberries on top. Nom nom.

I picked up my bamboo and left at about 3:30pm… off to tidy the house ahead of having workmates over to help me work through some of the wine – a social way of having less to pack!

On Saturday night, Rish took me to My’s Vietnamese in Weston so that he could FINALLY try their laksa that I’d been going on about.

We took a bottle of champagne that I’d been given for my birthday/farewell. It was wonderful!

Started with the fresh rice paper rolls.

I had my usual – Rice noodles with tofu and veges

Rish was happy with his Laksa :)

But still had room for deep fried ice cream with caramel topping!

A lovely night, topped off by being watched over by His Noodliness

I shall be celebrating the day packing up my desk at work.

If you wanna get me something, throw a couple of dollars towards my City2Surf Fundraising for the Steve Waugh Foundation.

And giggle at some kitties:

Not surprised that I felt at home at a Nerdy 30th? With old games from TimeZone on the tele, healing potion cocktails and glasses galore, you with you were there too!

Unexpected Gifts

August 26, 2010 · 2 comments

Aww. My dear not so little anymore sister ordered me some belated birthday presents off my Amazon Wishlist which arrived this week.

I’m sure they will be making further appearances here as I get to read them and start making cookies and living like Jesus. Now I need a cookie jar to invade!

Yes, my birthday went well… how could it not when it starts with a box of roses from my mother delivered before work, and on my arrival home I get a bunch of Irises (purple! My favourite flower, yesm!) from a friend in Melbourne? :)

One vase, think it works!

After a dazed day at work (I’m got a cold and am generally worn down by other health stuff. No, I’m not pregnant, though someone suggested it might be why I’m tired!) I dolled up in a new LBD, new tights and some killer heels to head to Rocksalt for dinner.

Thirty before 30 (Or Happy 28th Birthday to Me)

July 22, 2010

(Being my birthday, you’re obligated to de-lurk and comment! Do it!) Last year’s work cupcakes for my birthday. Hello Kitty! Okay, any notion I had of doing a 101 in 1001 is long gone, I can’t even WRITE a list, let along get started on one. So perhaps, 30 items before my 30th birthday will [...]

Birthday Presents to Myself

July 7, 2010

aww! I’d written “Happy Bday to me” in my order info! No, I don’t know what I want for my birthday in just over 2 weeks time… perhaps cash to feed my online spending habits? (or direct purchases from my Amazon Wishlist?) :p I came home for lunch today to a couple of packages… the [...]

Late 20s?

July 22, 2009

So, I’m told today, that as I’m now 27, I’m late 20s. Crap. Time to grow up a little? (like the cupcakes a workmate made for me? she got the lollies at Christmas time in Victor Harbour – saw them and thought of me. Aww!)
