Happy Birthday To Me
I turned thirty six on Friday, so in celebration I have sprouted another whisker and developed some really rather spectacular eyebrow wrinkles. Mostly because I have been out three nights on the run and can clearly no longer take the pace...
I'm exhausted. Too tired even to regale you with stories of delicious scallops sat atop the most divine jus, an Easter egg hunt at Kaths, gorgeous perfume, friends, a birthday Green and Blacks Chocolate fridge cake (recipe to follow!), a tiny tea party with Mum, Dad and Finn, spilt red wine, too much fake tan (St Tropez... I've been tangoed!), a stack of books I can't wait to read, the prettiest papier mache lavender rabbit in the world, oodles of babysitting from my lovely parents (thank you, oh thank you, oh thank you), and the man I adored as a teenager...
Birthdays are wonderful aren't they? Think I might have another one next weekend.
On second thoughts, give me twelve months to recover from this one.
I'm a little late but - HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!
Sounds like you had a fabulous time as all 36 year olds should(says one to another!) So are you going to tell us more about the man you adored as a teenager? x

Happy belated birthday!
Mine always passes just like any other day, with MAYBE a "Happy Birthday" in the evening from dh... once every few years, my mother even remembers a quick "Happy Birthday" phone call...
So I love hearing about other people's fun on their birthdays!

Happy Birthday! Mine was on the 18th. Yep I can relate, birthdays seem to get less exciting as we get older...

Happy Birthday from a fellow Piscean (sadly I turned 47 this year and have more whiskers than you!). It sounds like you had a fab time! Your parents are stars, support from them is so important. So,will we be hearing more about the man you adored as a teenager?

My daughter's birthday was yesterday (23rd) and I'm in recovery mode today also =) Funny you mention wrinkles by the eyebrows... this weekend I was trying desperately to pluck a few hairs that just CAN'T be wrikles - but, sure enough, they were! Dang. Happy Birthday! Blessings... Polly

Happy Birthday Alison!
Sounds like you had a great time celebrating - good for you! Looking forward to the energy/sugar rush that should surely follow chocolate egg consumption, and your being able to fill us in in more detail.....?!
