25 today

all i wanted for my birthday was:

1. cake
2. a dinner date

what i really got was:

1. a morning alarm in the form of some very sleepy happy birthday singing from bond at 6am.
2. some amazing gifts from my lovely boyfy, even a couple of surprise gifts i didn't know about. and if you know me, you know that's no mean feat since i ruin pretty much every surprise i'm involved in, as surprise giver or surprise receiver. one of my gifts came from here. let me know if you guess what one it is.
3. delicious breakfast in bed
4. a gorgeous sunny day
5. a free ride to work on the bus
6. a couple of surprise packages at work from my gorgeous family and a super friend.
7. a delicious homemade cake from my work friends complete with candles.
8. a special delivery of beautiful flowers to my desk.
9. a supreme dinner date with bond to porteno, where i ate so much incredible food i felt a bit sick - including the world's best dessert. it was like a cross between pavlova and peanut brittle and trifle.
10. a phone call from my wifey in the uk

i am truly truly lucky to have such wonderful people in my life to help me celebrate my 25 years of living.

thanks everyone for making my day super special. (especially you matthew bond you lovely man x).

today i feel grateful.

(grateful is one of those words that looks funnier the more you look at it. grateful grateful grateful).

I feel super grateful that the rain has gone away, the sun has again decided to shine and the flood waters have receded all in time for our road trip to plomer tomorrow.

I feel super grateful that in my time of need i know my local kmart has ugg boots for $8.

I feel super grateful that sushi garden is just down the road so when i don't feel like cooking, i know i can get delicious sushi rolls for $6.50.

I feel super grateful that when i'm hungry and a little bit tired and snappy that my boyfy knows to ride out the storm and let me have my sooky, stroppy 5 minutes. (Sorry x)

I feel grateful that italian food safari was invented. i love the pants off that show.

I feel super grateful that my weekend has just commenced and tomorrow I'm going on a road trip with some very very lovely friends that I have been looking forward to for longer than i can remember.

Have a lovely lovely weekend!
