Thursday the 25th was my birthday. I’m 27 years old now.
I can’t believe I’m this old… I’m so much closer to 30 than 20 now. How on earth did that happen?
But creeping age paranoia aside, it’s been a good birthday :)
Markus’ parents + sister came to visit last weekend, bringing gifts and taking us out to dinner.
On Thursday me and a few friends got together to play laser games (like paintball, but with laser instead of paint) and have a few drinks. It was great fun, but getting up for work the next day was… hard.
And yesterday mum came down to visit and take me out for dinner (again).
I got a gift certificate for a beauty salon (whoo make-up!), teaspoons, earrings, socks and a digital photo frame that was rather cool.
And Markus got me a new camera! It has 12 megapixels and it’s small and pink and shiny and I love it :yay: It’s a Casio EX-Z90, not that I’m that knowledgeable about cameras. But the great thing about it is that it comes with a chargeable battery. And it can record video clips! I’m so going to abuse that function.
But I’m not the only one getting older – Monday the 22nd was Zaphod’s birthday!
If it’s hard to believe that I’m this old it’s even harder to grasp that it is now 5 (five!) years since the first time I carried him up the stairs to my apartment. A tiny, skinny puppy with legs that were much to long for his body and green paint all over his left ear from the ear-mark tattoo… and now he’s almost middle-aged.
From this:
To this:
Unbelievable.
At least his age is finally starting to catch up with his personality, on the inside he’s been an old fart since day one :P Markus’ parents got him dried pig ears and I gave him an extra large rawhide bone at work, that was his celebration. It’s not like he understand the concept of birthdays anyway.
Finally I’d like to say THANK YOU for all the birthday greetings around the net! I was surprised how many people knew/cared/took time to write a little something. You’re all so nice :heart:
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Give yourself a huge size hug & give Zappo one to. :love: :love: :love: :love: :love:
I am sorry that I didn’t get to tell you on your birthday, but this is the first day I have been online.
Happy birthday! :D And congrats on the new camera :D
Happy belated birthday! I turn 25 this year and I’m already starting to feel a little weird about it. I think I want to play laser tag on my birthday too, what a great idea. :heart:
Grattis i efterskott! :D
Jag fyller ju också 27 i år så jag förstår precis hur du känner dig! Jag undar också hur tiden kunnat flyga förbi så här fort. Jag vet att jag snart är 27 år gammal men det känns inte så. Ska inte folk i den åldern vara så mycket mer vuxna? Och det här med att närma sig 30. Herregud, en gång i tiden gjorde jag och mina väner en sådan där ålderstrappa. Den brukar ju gå upp till 50 och sedan neråt. Tretton år gamla tyckte vi att en ålderstrappa borde gå nedåt vid 30. Jag har ändrat uppfattning om det! haha!
Fin kamera förresten. Jag älskar färgen! <3
Happy belated birthday! It sounds like you had a great celebration. :) Happy birthday to Zaphod too! Just like children, it seems like they grow up too fast.
Happy belated birthday from me!
Lol, Zaphod’s so cute! It’s always weird looking back at pictures from when they were tiny (although Zaphod still looks like a big puppy!) and seeing how much they’ve grown in such a short time! :)
Happy Belated Birthday to both of you! I hope being 27 is awesome. I can’t believe that I will be 25 in about a month. It’s crazy how you get old so quickly.
