another year older

i have never been sung 'happy birthday' to so many times before. how many times, you ask. four in three days. FOUR!! wow. it so happens that my church celebrated its fifty-fifth anniversary today as well. and i'm really really glad that it was not 'happy birthday to church AND DEB!'

i had a really great time at my birthday party last night. this was the first party i've organised without help from my parents. i co-organised it with a really good friend and it was great! and with all great parties, there is a theme and mine was childhood ambitions. most people dressed up but i was disappointed with the ones that didn't. great night nonetheless. prizes did go to the best dress genders (or ones that i thought made the most effort).

an early start (8am) to the day and the constant motion all day left me utterly exhausted towards the end of the night. falling asleep on the couch with everyone still around was kind of my highlight (obviously sarcasticly speaking). i only woke up to say my goodbyes before going back to sleep for the rest of the night.

it was a full day today. another early start to celebrate my church's fifty-fifth anniversary. it was an extended service and i didn't pay any attention to the preacher at all. i was minding the cd's with the guys and we had a good chat on relationships from the opposite gender's perspective. this just reminded me i have to get the cd.

i had two cups of coffee today to keep awake. one instant coffee to make it through the morning & a short black after lunch to last me the rest of the day. worked pretty well. i'm wide awake now and my contacts irritation levels are slowly creeping up.

supper was with people i don't normally hang out with (with exception of you, cinderella) and it was good. i got to know a few people a little better. worked out well since all twentyfive of us wouldn't have fitted into the ultrasmall vietnamese 'restaurant' we all wanted to go to in the first place.

the night ended with me unable to keep my eyes open as i type this.
