Meh.

At least your taste in beer improved

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MY BEAUTIFUL BOY!

Wow, seems like it like it was just the other day that I fell in love with you

And now you’re a young man, out there making a life for yourself

Crazyness.

Birthday pics

justBcoz — Tue, 06 Apr 2010 15:51:03 +0000

I only remembered to take one photo on my birthday:

This was quite early on in the day, before about another 15 people arrived.
I need a bigger garden

Thanks to @andrevr, @al_ice and @kambabe for letting me hijack their pics:

This is The Braai Master! Man, he did a GREAT job

And then yesterday, I got to open all my pressies!

Just LOOK at how spoilt I was …

And it wasn’t over!

Today, my awesome team treated me to even MORE birthday spoils:

I am one lucky girl

THANK YOU to EVERYONE who

messaged me
came to celebrate
gave me pressies
made me feel uber loved
shared my special day with me

I had an amazing birthday and I’m grateful to have been able to share it
with so many wonderful people, both online AND in real life.

It’s my birthday soon …

* * * 4 APRIL * * *

39 <– for those of you who keep forgetting how old I am *cough* Son#1 *cough*

I know you’ve all been saving like mad for this, dying for the opportunity to spoil me with awesome presents, but I’m guessing that you have no clue what to buy me. Right? Right.

Here’s a tip: anyone who gets me anything remotely “practical” will be fired / unfollowed / defriended / disinherited on the spot. No bulk packs of 48 toilet rolls please. Yes, I have been given this as a gift before, I shit you not.

Here’s what I won’t say no to:

Mmk … that’s enough to start with

First braai since forever

justBcoz — Mon, 05 Oct 2009 12:05:55 +0000

So yesterday was my Dad’s birthday and to celebrate, we had our first braai in AGES!

Thanks for doing all the “manly” work Sir G – you did great

The Birthday Boy

With his grandboys …

Nice to have Son#1 back at home, even if it was just for the arvy.
(Eat some more, baby – you’re getting skinny!)

Dad – I hope you had a good time …

Good luck on your new travels today.
