21st Birthday

I suppose I really ought to mention that my 21st birthday was on Saturday. Due to the extreme rush of the weekend, I couldn't post earlier, sorry. On Saturday I slept in for the first time since February (nice!), then had a fantastic party at Stoz's house complete with mountains of food Mum had spent all week cooking, groovy coordinating decorations, a surprise photo slide show and home movie from Stoz, lots of nice pressies, and around 40 of my closest friends!

Sunday was a family lunch at Pratty's Patch, followed by Mum's homemade cakes at home. Also nice.

A big thanks to everyone who came - and people far away who wished me well - for the presents and the friendships we share. Thanks heaps to the boys for letting me use their awesome party house, and my parents for organising so much stuff. And extra big thanks to Mum for her huge effort, and Stoz for all the scanning, music and organising that he did.

Princess Party!

Deep down inside, every girl is a true princess, and we should be allowed to feel like it every once in awhile (and treated as such all the time!) - and that was exactly my intention with my princess party. On Friday night, after much planning and preparation, the royal festivities took place at my house, and I must say, I'm impressed with the effort everyone made! Everyone looked so beautiful, and I think a good time was had by all. Many tiaras, gorgeous shoes, stunning dresses, and some great creativity: a medieval princess, a fairy princess, the littlest princess, and of course the two most gorgeous princesses in white and red. I myself was a princess in pink, complete with tiara. Mum was fretting about not having enough food, of which there was sufficient to sink a battle ship (like always!). Aside from the great food, we had a princess parcel, watched Ice Princess and did the general 'girly chat thing.' I only wish I owned some decent CDs so we didn't have to listen to 1997 flashbacks of Aqua! Sorry girls.

So unleash your inner princess! (Or brave knight if you are male...)

Wiik excuse for a post

As many of you may have been eagerly counting down (or patiently tolerating those eagerly counting down) the new Nintendo console has finally been released in Australia. If you're actually interested in that, I suggest you check out Stoz's blog.

Thanks everyone for the overwhelming response to my Santa question - I don't know what to think anymore! It's almost time for another question, but for now I'm busy with preparations for the ultimate party! (More on that later in the week.)
