hip hip hooray

the best

unknown source.

Today is my birthday. Hip hip hooray!

I am thirty-two. 32! It blows my mind to say that. I feel nineteen most of the time. I act nineteen most of the time. I’m not convinced that’s a bad thing.

Yesterday, Sunday, we had celebrations with all the people I love best. It was full of laughs and pavlova and champagne and barbeque and chocolate ripple cake and butterfly jelly cakes (and sore tummies and sore heads) I intended to take photographs but didn’t even realise I hadn’t done so until the end of the day. Just being present in the moment was far more important. And far more enjoyable.

I’m making a list of things that I want to achieve over the next twelve months. Not resolutions (I will eat healthy! Pah) but quantifiable goals. I’ll post the list when I’ve got it sorted: 1. Finish list.

Thirty-two!

  1. Happy birthday Annelise! Your birthday celebrations sound fun, and I agree it's usually those moments when you forget to break out the camera that leaves you with the sweetest memories.
    PS: Girl I'm turning 38 next month and I still act like I'm 19! ;)

  4. Happy Birthday lovely! It seems yours has been wonderful. Also, the best days we have are often the ones that are so full we forget we have a camera.

    I hope your 32nd years is SPECTACULAR.

  6. Yay!!!! Happy Birthday, my far away friend! Man, all that food sounds so good. I had a dream last night that I was actually younger than I though I was. Weird. But I am pretty bad to round my age up once I pass the half year mark, so I sometimes forget. 32 is the new 23.
