So it's not entirely an 'unbirthday', but today has been an extremely good average day. Despite not seeing Alex, I'm feeling very positive about it...prompted by drunken love from her last night, and the knowledge that it's only a week to go!
A couple of days ago, I was surprised to find a POST office slip under the front door informing me that I had a package to collect from St Agnes. The fact that it was international puzzled me - I had no idea who it could be from! So, this morning, I trekked down to pick it up and was delighted beyond words to find that the amazing and always lovely Cassaundra had sent me a birthday parcel! Not only have I never received a package before, but it was totally unexpected and wonderful. I could not stop grinning for a good hour - I must have looked an absolute sight! I was excited for so many reasons; I've now finally seen her handwriting, and it makes our friendship even more special. This is what she sent me (I love it, and have been yearning for one!):
I have every intention of wearing it everywhere!
After this fabulous start to my day, I ventured to the hairdresser for the first time in over a year! To be honest, I could've cut it myself, but oh well. And the colour...it's a bit unnatural for my liking. But if I get sick of it, I'll just dye it dark brown like I did last year. It's only hair!
Around lunchtime I went to Kristy's for an afternoon of crafting, which was awesome. AND the naughty girl also surprised me with a birthday gift! It is so thoughtful and 100% me...mate, you know me so well :) haha. I was lucky enough to get a bag reading "JUTE NOT PLASTIC" which I spoke to her about ages ago, some organic chocolate and fair trade coffee, and the most incredible thing of all - a donation to Oxfam for the schooling of AIDS orphans in Zimbabwe. All amazing presents aside, I had a wonderful afternoon, filled with laughter and sugar soap and Gilmore Girls and beads and sushi...even if it did prove once and for all that 1. I'm not destined to be a painter, and 2. I should never be allowed to drive anywhere by myself EVER!
Thank you, my only two readers :)
Peace out x
