Hello Internet. So, my birthday – as mentioned not much to report. My lovely boyfriend was too busy to get me any thing, except for a cute little eastery flower bouquet and a super lovely card. Now he has been busy, he’s been working an extra 10-15+ hours a week, but he still loses brownie points by the bucket load…especially as now, a week later he’s still been too busy to get me any thing! Gav = Loser
(<3).
My mother has been in ill health and has spent the last 2 weeks incapacitated and in and out of hospital (nothing too serious, just sucky) so obviously she was unable to get me any thing or really make a fuss, but I had ordered this chair for myself using her credit card (aaah, using someone elses credit card to buy things = bliss), however when I opened it and started putting it together we realised it wasn’t going to work – I don’t really understand what the issue was, but it was something to do with one of the screws being threaded wrong? So yeah, had to hop straight on the phone to let them know and they are sending a replacement, though because of the Easter break I won’t be getting that until the end of this week. She also got me a bunch of flowers, they are neat…two tone pink/white and apparently they are special long lasting ones.
My dad made me a coffee cake – I say he made it for me, he made it for him really…since I had expressly told him I didn’t want a cake this year – trying to lose those extra pounds
but I still had a slice, and very nice it was too.
A few of my friends called me at the last minute to see if I wanted to go out, I said yes initially – but then every 5 minutes the plans kept changing, until in the end I wasn’t at all sure what the plans were but I think it was that I was going to be the 7th wheel and we were going clubbing (not my cup of tea) so I just decided to stay home and work out instead.
Plus we found out that a family member has cancer and only a few months to live, so yeah, not the best birthday ever.

In other news, I am currently looking for a new theme for Swaymyway.com, yeah already! Not because I feel I need or even want a new one…I really like this one, but because I had decided to redesign RealityTVFan.org – I needed something clean, something blue, something with 3 columns, something where I could add my own logo to the header – and after searching template sites for ages, I realised I had the perfect template already, this one. But for my own sanity I couldn’t stand having the same design on two of my sites, so I have gone from looking for a theme for RealityTVFan.org, to here
I have no idea when that will be going up though, maybe some time this next week – assuming I can find a nice one.

AAAAnnd finally – we’ve had loads of snow (by UK standards) over the last few days, it literally just started snowing again right now, woo. I absolutely love snow, there’s nothing better and people who don’t like snow are just wrong. The night before last I went out on my own to play in it at about 5am, totally ridiculous I know, but I can’t resist the lure. I uploaded a bunch of pictures to my new Flickr account (can anyone suggest a goof flickr wordpress plugin? I did install one but it clearly doesn’t work *points to area that says ‘Recent Photos’*) but here are some tasters for you….oooh snnoooooww…prettttyyy.
I’m done talking now.

Horaayy..there are 7 comment(s) for me so far ;)
Sorry to hear about your birthday, but I think mine’s may have been worse? Sorry to hear about the family member having cancer, though! =(
Hmm, I wasn’t able to get to that page that you’ve linked for the chair…
Anyways, I hope your mom will be ok, though.
Hehe about not going clubbing. I’ve never been clubbing before, so I don’t know how that’s like.
Anyways, aww, that’s awesome about the snow! We don’t get snow here at all… =(
Well, at least they remembered it. I always had to remind them, even my friends. Now I gave up.

I hope you mum gets a lot better soon. It’s good to hear that it’s not serious

Sorry to hear about your family member.
Send some snow my way. Everyone else in the UK seems to be getting it but my area
.
Lovely theme by the way

Sorry to hear you didn’t have the best easter or birthday…!
Yeah the site is a genuine recommendation – my friend from work runs it and he makes money off the banner ads which just about covers the cost of the engine that sends the messages, and the hosting bill.
So if you use the service be sure to click them!!

I’m a new visitor to your site, but I reckon I’ll be hooked in no time (hey, you’ve got a good writing style and an interesting life – what more do I need?
) I love the snow too – the only snow we’ve received in London is a mere pattering though that barely stayed. Baah humbug!
~ Happy Belated Birthday~ !

I hope your mom feels better soon. Great snow pictures. Our snow didn’t stay on the ground.
