The good things in life

Not the best things, those are free; the good things cost a lot more. well some at least. The surprise bday party hubby threw for me was good. Lots of good food like BBQ duck and soy sauce chicken (which BTW, I didn't get to eat nearly enough of, being the guest/host of honour), fried rice, fried noodles, lasagne, cheeses coming out of the yin yang, spinach dip, hummus, hors d'oeurves, cheesecake, chinese pastries and the birthday cake. Yes, a beautiful cake from PICA which was way too big for the amount of people we had there. It was a lemon flavoured cake with bits of strawberry jam making a checkerboard design on the inside. Absolutely wonderful.

The best thing is unrelated in a way, altho it happened on my birthday (or close enough to it that I'm going to count it as such), I won a prize from The Soapbar Blog. Mind you, it's not nearly as good as winning something that was made by Joanna, however, it was still winning something, and as my dear sister said, maybe this means my luck is turning.

Another year older, another year better, right? ;)

See, that's why I don't want a party for myself...I want to be hovering over the food stuffing my face, not playing nice hostess. ;D

That book prize is really nice, isn't it? I could never justify spending money on a beauty book, but I sure loved receiving one as a prize!

Another year whizzing past me like those darned fruit flies. Yeah,that's why these office farewells have been nice, I can stand to one side and eat.

The book is cool, at least the pictures are pretty, now I have to read and apply what I learned.
