We laugh ’til we wet ourselves

08Feb08

It was my birthday. I got presents. I got flowers. I got phone calls. I got dinner (and more) with a hot man who is totally into me. I got lunch with my fantastic girlfriends. All very, very, very nice.

But the best, best, best present I got this year consisted of:

  • a handmade card, scrawled on business stationery;
  • a lolly bag, composed of lollies found around the house (probably down the back of his sofa), complete with party favours (of the innocent variety);
  • a second hand book (Ben Elton’s High Society), and
  • a bottle opener (which he’d gotten for his 40th)!

All wrapped with care in a really used plastic bag.

From a truly awesome friend.

    Happy birthday, Lilli of the Pilli.

    I laugh ’til I wet myself too. Old age is a terrible curse.

    Happy belated birthday, Lilli. Hand-made cards, used books and candy? I can’t think of a better birthday gift.

    Yes, happy happy!

    That gift sounds awesome.

    It seems that there are many b-days in the last week or two in this corner of the blog-o-sphere. Me, Amurin, Jule, you . . . aw, what a special lot we are. ;)
