Birthday Gal

   The other day was my big ol' 20th Birthday. It was on a Sunday and I couldn't have asked for a more beautiful day. I just so happened to get the whole day off of work without even asking for it which was odd as I had JUST come back from a five day vacation. I decided I wanted to check out some stand up paddle boarding (it's like paddling around on a surf board minus the waves). I used to always mess around on these things as a tot and found a place real close that allows you to rent them, take lessons, and even S.U.P YOGA. As the yoga class requires you to take the S.U.P beginners lesson first for safety purposes, I figured it'd be something neat for us to do on my Birthday. It was an absolute blast and our instructor Angela was a major babe. Here's a polaroid photo Kory took of me on my paddle board (I don't have a scanner here or else it'd be better quality I swear). And the instructor also got some pictures of us on her camera which I shall post once I get a hold of them.

   Kory and his mum spoiled me as per usual. Kory got me these little bubble tea mugs with tiny trees in them (due to my apparent pine tree obsession) and I love them. He also got me a neat copy of The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy that comes with stickers innit to decorate your own front cover, a collection of some Bukowski poetry, and two records (Born Ruffian's new album and a Mikal Cronin album also)! Debbie got me this 'I love naps' jammie set, Slaughterhouse Five, a candle, and the 'Happy Hippy' body wash from Lush. 

   My little Brother got me an awesome vintage vase/canister which unfortunately I haven't got a photo of (it's lovely I promise). He says it's for me to keep my tea in which it precisely what I'm going to do with it - he knows me far too well. And my mum and dad got me salt and pepper shakers for my apartment as well as an apron and oven mittens set. It's safe to say I'm a very happy camper.
