It was by birthday this past weekend and I wasn't really sure what I would end up doing. I still don't know too many people down here and kind of wanted to keep it low key. To my great delight I ended up having a lovely weekend.
My co-workers at Google took me out for a lovely lunch in Pyrmont. We went to a nice little cafe on the pier next to our office with a great view of the warter/yachts and surrounding area. There are so many cool boats docked all over this area I need to start meeting whoever owns them :). After work I met up with my fried Sal for a couple of drinks before heading to an art show that a co-worker of his had helped organize. The art show was sort of a charity event as well and I ended up winning a photo shoot from "Starlight - The Essence of You" photography. The prize includes a makeover, professional photo shoot and stunning images "guaranteed to capture the essence of you..." I also get a 11"x14" portrait of any image of I choose. I cannot wait to do this, I promise to post the final portrait. This totally reminds me of the glamor shoots that were popular in the 80's that a lot of my friends mothers did.
On Saturday night I went to Lauren and Sal's housewarming where I meet some fabulous new friends Manon and Shane. And Lauren surprised me with chocolate cupcakes. Everyone sang Happy Birthday which made be bright red as I get really embarassed with attention, but it was super sweet of her. And finally today I treated myself to a whole cheese pizza to help cure my massive hangover.
Joining the gym tomorrow, so glad I went out with a bang before getting back to healthy living. :)
