You know how on your birthday your family and friend ring you up to wish you a happy birthday – it’s just one of those thing you do? Well today I got calls from my family, but it seemed like they kinda forgot??!?! Even my Mum which is tres bizarre.
Mum called and rather than wishing me Happy Birthday, she informed me that a kinda distant relative, someone I met maybe once about 10 years ago, had passed away. And then BigSal called asking me for some Photoshop advice and she too failed on the socially expected Birthday felicitations?
Sniff, sniff? Don’t think I forgot my deodorant this morning…..
Anyway I got to have a pretty cool Birthday even without the expected greetings from the fam. Got some cool emails from friends – Danke – and some sweet little nothings from people on Facebook etc which is always nice.
Also scored some cool new toys – a flashy yet teeny tiny new iPod nano, pretty red one with fancy engraving on the back 🙂 A new wireless router cos our adsl/wifi in one sucks ass and fails miserably on a regular basis and a couple of movies on DVD – the Bourne Ultimatum and A Midsummer’s Nights Dream (actually when written together like so they seem like odd choices – but I’m nothing if not eclectic)…. and from my Mum, dear old Mum who knows me so well … a bottle of Maker’s Mark bourbon 🙂
Phew – thank Goodness there wasn’t a BabyJesus Butt Plug in there cos earlier in the week I was kinda inviting disaster: 🙂 Sounds like I did come dangerously close to being given one to open over birthday dinner – now that would be fun for the whole family and no doubt it would make a lovely paperweight for my desk.
