(no subject)

I had a dream last night that I had a baby. Those dreams always FREAK ME OUT. At least it was preceded by a perfectly normal dream about evil ninja soul-possessing angels.

I had a really lovely birthday on Wednesday - thanks to all who passed on wishes. My main present from my parents was tickets to the Spandau Ballet/Tears for Fears concert last week. (Verdict: Spandau Ballet=meh, but Tears for Fears=ROCK MY WORLD.) The other highlight of my birthday was pretty much the whole day via Alan - he put an amazing amount of effort into spoiling me all day, and it was just lovely. (Including giving me my present the day before because he couldn't wait - an awesome TV, which is about a million times better than my old one!) I got taken out for lunch AND dinner and general niceness, and it made me happy.

After dinner we stopped at Foodtown to get some dessert, and I decided to buy a DVD to watch on my new TV, and picked up Star Trek. (Would be my seventh viewing. Kirk and Spock still v. v. pretty.) Except the operator forgot to take off the security device, so when I got home I couldn't open it. >:-(  I took it back the next day and asked for my money back since I could get the DVD cheaper elsewhere if I hadn't wanted to watch it ON MY BIRTHDAY, and I was all prepared to put on my big girl consumer rights panties and grr, but I didn't get that satisfaction, they just happily gave me back my money. Righteous rage thwarted!

I'm looking foward to a busy busy weekend with maudlinrose visiting (your bed is...nearly made up! I swear!) and my birthday/housewarming party which I only put on Facebook and not here, oops, and all the chores associated therewith. Huzzah!

I promise fairy bread!

Belated house warming/timely birthday party

Saturday 8th May at 7pm

I've been in this house now for about four months, and with winter coming on it is well overdue to be warmed - hence, a housewarming!

And since I now have a flatmate, there also needs to be a flatwarming!

AND since I am about to have my birthday, I need to have a party for that too.

Three in one - how efficient am I!?

Snacks and non-alcoholic drinks will be provided, BYOB, weather permitting we can make use of the garden and courtyard so bring a blanket or beanbag if that's your idea of a good time.

Parking down the driveway is limited, so please park on the road. We are also close to both bus and train stops.

Let me know if you need the address! :-)
