Happy TImes

It’s the BoyF’s birthday today.

And 28 just so happens to be my favourite number so I'm anticipating a good year ahead for him.

But because he’s almost 30 well, you know, almost kinda, soon soon 30 – we’re going to party like rockstars the entire weekend, starting today. Starting last night actually – eina, sore head.

But YAY for Birthdays and YAY for the BoyF. 

Hope you have a lekker cracker day my special super hero.

Kisses

Chill Out Zone

I've never done a post on houses or interiors but I thought perhaps today will be the day that I start.

How insanely awesome is this outdoor entertainment and chill area in this house in Bedford NY.

I want, I want, I want.

We're actually in the process of pricing outdoor furniture for our much-smaller-semi-under-cover patio area at home. But hot dang that stuff is freaking expensive. Even with a 10% discount from the Interior Decorator Sister. Jeepers.

And then I see a house like this and I want to buy a piece of land in the midlands somewhere, cut down a small rain forest and build til my hearts content. Please look at that kitchen!!!  If that were MY kitchen - oh if that were my kitchen the BoyF would be all round and tubby like because all I'd ever do is cook and bake and stew and roast and garnish and baste and sizzle. Ohhh what a delicious place.

Bored out your wits at work? Then have a look at this site (see title). 
It's kind of like that site FML but instead of letting the world know how miserable you are, you get to direct your misery, or love, or randomness to someone else. The person your message is intended for never really gets the message but it's a cool way of releasing some pent up anger, being secretly romantic, or just reducing your psycho bill a wee bit. Check these pearlers:

I don't have time for a nice big post today - funny that because I'm not really doing anything constructive at work. They're just loading me up with trivial little mind-numbing jobs that the tea lady could probably do. And she'd probably do them better. She'd also be a lot happier doing them than I am, that's for sure. But that's because her soul isn't already walking out the door like mine is. But enough moaning ...

I found this wicked cool online magazine, and I cannot believe it, but the name totally escapes me right now ... but it's beautifully designed, the layout is scrumptious and it's just boiling over with the most delectable looking food I've ever seen. Here's a sneak peek for your sweet teeth.
