I am 23...

[Smile]

Shamelessly self-indulgent, but hey it's my birthday! I'm allowed to be!

Tony is interstate but nonetheless I feel loved - my Mum and siblings rang at 6am my time (thanks guys), I had parcels waiting for me and two movies on the computer from Tony instructing me on where my present (a tinsy teeny jar of Iranian caviar - because I've always wanted to try some) was hidden.

[Big Grin]

It's gonna be a good day.

Of course, here your birthday is tomorrow. But it's already tomorrow there. Only you think tomorrow is today. *eyes cross*

Happy Birthday! And I don't even have to cross my eyes...
 
Posted by imogen (Member # 5485) on :
 
And I'm now having caviar and hot buttered toast for breakfast - and feeling marvellously indulgent about it, I might add.

Thanks Bob, Rivka and Quid! [Smile]

I'm going into shock that you're only 23, though.

Thanks everyone. [Big Grin]

I have had a great day.

I went shopping with my mother-in-law for shoes (as my birthday present) and we had a great time.

Then when I got home...

A little background first. I left organising my party a little late - as in last Sunday. It turns out there are about 6 gazillion other parties in Perth tonight, most of them centered around the law school. So most of my friends were busy - and then some cancelled mid-week.

I was left with two people coming, and I was quite upset. No-one seemed to care that much, and with Tony being away I felt a little abandoned.

Anyway, I got over it and organised a dinner party for the two who are coming - and managed to get one more person. So now it's four for home-made pizzas. Yum.

I got home from shopping to find on my doorstep the most enormous and bright bunch of flowers - with yellow tulips [Smile] - and a bottle of Chandon champagne.

From my friends who can't come tonight.

[Big Grin]

<-- Very Happy Birthday Girl.

Happy birthday Imo!

... You're under a month older than me. That just can't be right. [Razz]

Happy birthday, imogen!

Posted by quidscribis (Member # 5124) on :
 
...and you're sooooo young, too! Glad to hear you had a great birthday. [Party]
 
Posted by imogen (Member # 5485) on :
 
I am not *that* young.

[Smile]

So it turns out the flowers and champagne are from my Mum...

Oh well. I'm still loved.
 
Posted by Corwin (Member # 5705) on :
 
Yes, you ARE that young! I'm 23 - well, for a few weeks more - and I'm young. [Smile]

Edit: You had the 23rd post, I had the 23rd reply! [ROFL]
 
Posted by quidscribis (Member # 5124) on :
 
I'm... more than a decade older than you! Yes, you ARE THAT YOUNG! [Smile]
 
Posted by Corwin (Member # 5705) on :
 
Phew...
 
Posted by quidscribis (Member # 5124) on :
 
Phew?
 
Posted by Corwin (Member # 5705) on :
 
Well, I'm relieved. Since you said she's young, it means I'm young too. Always good to get a second opinion... [Wink]
 
Posted by quidscribis (Member # 5124) on :
 
*nods* Of course. You're young, too. [Smile]
 
Posted by Corwin (Member # 5705) on :
 
Oh, what the heck, you're young as long as you feel young, anyway!
 
Posted by Dan_raven (Member # 3383) on :
 
Remember---While you have to grow older, you don't have to grow up.

Happy Belated B-Day.
