Thank you Judy, Jim, Rach and Lou for your lovely singing voices and birthday wishes! Sorry we didn't catch you last night.
I had a really good birthday, stevie gave me some awesome presents, The gwen stefani perfume which is great: very rosy, an i-river ipod, a lucero dvd, a summer heights high dvd (my fav show on tv) and an interpol cd I also got a bright pink cover for my i-river. I got a loooooovely leona edminston blue and white spotted silk nightie from judy and jim, and my mum got me the make up bag from the luggage set I have got from Spencer and Rutherford. I have now got the beauty bag, the large upright traveller, the onboard luggage traveller and the overnight bag. Dad got me a babushka.
Aunty marion and keith got me two flamingo pots which will join my deck: I have some jade trees to plant into them.
I had a pretty relaxed day, caught the bus to north lakes which is really big now and got an hour and a half massage, cupping and this ion foot detox. The massage was pretty sore..ouch! had to try to keep quiet during it, I have come out with two big cupping bruises, one where the guy found about 20 knots and spent about 20 mins killing them. I am quiet tender still on my back. I then had some sushi for lunch and caught the bus to my work to pick up some pressies that had arrived and some amazon books including one on turkish food and one on cake decorating. I start my cake decorating course in january which will be fun.
Mum came and picked up stevie and myself and we met dad at Sultans which is an awesome turkish restaraunt. My babushka cake that dad had gotten made for me was there and was sooo cute! Another lady on a table wanted to get a babushka made for her sister....no my babushka!:)
We all had some great food, they messed up my order of a spinach pide without cheese but were super good about it, and brought me out free turkish burgar rice and salad and made me a new one within minutes.
They have turkish belly dancers and a one man band who plays turkish music there on friday and saturdays, so when the belly dancer came out, they brought out a turkish dessert with candles and the whole place started singing happy birthday (i had to stand up! I was pretty mortified!).They say the name scarlett quite weird in turkish :it was sung in turkish and sorta sounds like sccccaaaarlllleeeeey! There was another b'day there, a guy called david and they did the same for him, and then we had to go up and learn to belly dance for about 10 mins infront of everyone! Eck! Its quiet hard and i was stuffed! I was also very embrarssed and very unco! Mum and dad and stevie all thought it was amusing. They must love birthdays there, they get free entertainment from the bad dancers that their customers are!
I offically finish my holidays today :( In that time I have painted both sides of the house, only windows to go, painted 4 coats of decking paint on both the front and back deck, went to lilys cottage with stevie (such a good husband), went to northlakes twice and had one day where i relaxed and read new books/atomic ranch magazine. Next saturday is collectorama market up at nambour, dad is taking me! I can't wait!
I'll post some pics of the night and from Taste of Chaos the festival that stevie played the night before.
I've got a big package to send on monday, so it makes it for three lovely ladies b'days...so keep an eye out for it.
