Its my 27th birthday on the 23rd of this month and that makes it a Thursday. Now I have always been one to have a big celebration for my life, who I ask would not want to celebrate my life?! But this year I am feeling a bit melancholy about it all. I think its cause I am turning 27 which has put me only 3 years away from being the big 3-Oh (no), I have no money to spare on excessive decorations or a yummy meal not prepared by myself, I have a daughter and that kind of hinders the prospect of going out & still no money to afford it, I don't have any nice party shoes at all and to be honest I really I don't think people have the time for it, majority of people I have asked what they are up to it sounds as though they already have plans.
Now I have held some doozey parties in my time... For my 18th my sister and her friend took me and my bestie out in town for the very first time and we danced and drunk our way into a state of a pure drunken bliss, we even went to the strip club and had a lap dance. Every time I hear the destiny's child bootilicious song or kylie's can't get you out of my head I am whisked back to those really bad dance moves that I was inventing LOL My parents even paid for me to get a tattoo so that night out I was flashing it off to whomever wanted to have a look even if it was still bleeding and raw LMAO
For my 21st I organised a formal dinner at a restaurant on the water front. Everyone had to get dressed up to the 9's to enjoy good food and good wine, my grandparents from NZ were even there. I remember I brought these ridiculous stiletto heels with straps that wrapped all the way up my legs, needless to say these did not last very long on my feet and I ended up sitting down most of the night :(
Another one of my birthdays was held in a restaurant that had a sparkly light ceiling, I had soo many friends back then I think we nearly took up the whole restaurant. I got a free bottle of Moet Champagne from the owner, this was the first time I had Moet and to tell you the truth it tasted like shite! I remember saying to my Dad "is this it, is this what its suppose to taste like?" But hey we polished off the bottle and everyone had a grand old time, I think we drank all the vodka from the bar and they had to get another restaurant to run a bottle over LOL
My favorite birthday that I had was my 25th and I created a games night. I had everyone in coloured teams and they had there own tables with corresponding coloured decorations and everyone had to come dressed in their team colour. I had planned out the whole night with games for us all to play, there were prizes and everything. I had a ball being the host and watching everyone really get involved, it was a really great night. I am really, really disappointed that I have no photos from that night at all, like none at all! It would have been great to show off how I did up the back patio with all the balloons and spraklies :(
There is also another birthday that sticks in my memory and its such a shame that what happened happened cause it was a nice theme/idea (it was a garden party) however the punch was too much and I ruined my own party by doing something that makes me feel sick to the stomach still to this day and I wish, I wish I could take it all back and have it not happen (sorry sorry sorry). I have vowed to never ever drink punch again! I can't remember what age I was turning for that birthday!
Then there have the celebrations that were small but just as memorable, going bowling with my bestie & family, having a family bbq and getting drunkies and dancing the night away, going to the movies and a dinner with the special person at the time.
So I think maybe this year its time to do nothing yeah? Just let it float by and not recognise it at all, and due to rain and crazy sleepless nights the exercising has been on hold so I don't think my ass really needs a piece of cake. I am however really really excited about the 1st birthday that I get to plan real soon!! ooohh all those games and food excitement, excitement!

Listening to...Sir Lucious Left Foot:The Son Of Chico Dusty
So I am listening to the new album from Big Boi and I am finding myself hipping and hopping along to his awesome beats. There are a lot of collaborations on the album, however I don't really know most of the peeps he is collaborating with and I dont really care cause its all good shite. This album really gets ya feet a tapping and ya booty shaking. Most played songs so far are "shutterbugg","Daddy Fat Sax" & "Tangerine". There is a little dialog skit thing about getting David Blain'd and I am really hoping that this neva happens to me eva! Totally cracked me up and caused mountain dew to come out of my nostrils!
Big Boi is obviously a master, aussie hip hop take many many notes this is how the shit is done BOI!

Obession....A Spoonful of Sugar
Ok so due to man issues I have found comfort in all things sweet and unfortunately for my hips I discovered a store in the shitsville called "A Spoonful of Sugar". It should really be called a bucket full of sugar as everything in there is OTT sugar. I have only let myself indulge in the homemade fudge and have so far tried chocolate, double chocolate, turkish delight & jaffa. The fudge is soft gooey goodness that I think if everyone ate there would be no drama in the world, I mean really, chocolate really does just make you forget everything and kind of makes you say "at least there is chocolate", to all things bad. However it does have a dangerous side, for example I started buying 50g for $2.50 and have slowly been buying larger and larger pieces, I found myself handing over a $10 note this afternoon. This is not good for someone that is on a very very strict budget, do you think that the fudge makers at A Spoonful of Sugar are packing it with a sugar drug that makes you come back for more?!! I have noticed that there are regulars going back to the store at the same time as me, AND we are all buying fudge, not the boiled lollies or imported sweets etc, just the fudge! A Spoonfull of Sugar is on to something and I need to investigate further...more "research"is no doubt needed! (sorry hips)
Oh sista... I forgive you. And I can make you special spaghetti if you want? And we could maybe do something after your first pay check?! Whatever you wanna do.. Birthday's kinda suck the older you get don't they?
