26 is goooooood

26 is going to be a GOOD year, if yesterday is anything to go by!

After music we went round to Paddie's where a lovely boozy lunch complete with pecan coffee gateau-birthday cake was served - it was SO hard to leave to collect Leah from school! When we got home there was a fat envelope from the tax man which unusually was a very nice letter and one that made me make lots of "woohoooo!" noises. Then about 5 minutes later Pat rang from kindy to say that there was a place for Jenna to start next Tuesday which is excellent news and we're all very excited :)

Then Alicia came over to babysit as Adrian was taking me out for a drink, and we thought perhaps we might be able to splash out (!) and share a bowl of chips. We decided to go into the city where Adrian couldn't resist popping into Sky City casino, where upon my insistence he bet on number 26, and we won $90! So we went out for dinner instead to a gorgeous tapas bar and drank bloody marys. Which was very nice indeed, and much better than a bowl of chips!

So, despite me starting the day thinking that it was going to be a crap birthday, 26 was actually the best birthday i've had in years. And today i have an appointment for a cut and (long-overdue by the look of my roots!) colour, and then a driving lesson with the AA courtesy of Anne and Des.

I like 26 :)
