Very quick weekend catch up...

Overall my birthday weekend was pretty great, with only the odd hiccough.

So, the birthday weekend started on Saturday, however, Saturday was also the day that my friend's dad died. So it was a bit of a sad day. I got an sms asking me to please put my make up on by her house, as she needed to see me. So I jumped in the shower and then made my way over to F's house. After some tears and a chat we got ready and went out. She still wanted to go out to get her mind off her dad.

The show we went to see, Sleeping Beauty and the Little Prick, was... well... it was good, and hilariously funny, but also a complete shocker. It was very risqué to say the least, and the sexual connotations weren't hinted at... they were in your face, literally, in the form of a sewn on set of "accessories" on Nobby the house elf (yes, they did get that from Harry Potter). So it was a good evening, even though there was an underlying sadness there. We also had dinner there. The tickets were R200 each, which included a starter and a main course. The food was very good, although way too much.

After the show we went to Bean Bag and had a cocktail, then went home.

On Monday mom and I went to SARS (I kid you not), to sort out her tax. We were there for 2 hours... But it was ok, it needed to get done, so we just went and did it. After that went to John Dory's for lunch and ate waaaay too much food. My diet actually went out the window this weekend because we really did eat everything that we shouldn't have been eating, including cake. But it was a good day. We ended up doing some shopping, missioned around Gateway and eventually got home around 5:30ish.

In the line of pressies I got some lovely cream and shower wash stuff, a new watch, two Wii games (Super Mario Galaxy and Ratatouille), and a R1700 office chair. This chair is gorgeous. It's a high-back leather chair. It's incredibly comfortable, so my bum and my back are now happy when I'm working at home. Oh, and I also got a hair straightener. It works fantastically.

So ya, that was my weekend...

Thank you to everyone who called and sms'd me :)
