Day 18 – 18th August 11 – Birthday Eve

So tomorrow is my 39^th Birthday –aarrrrggghhh – can’t believe I am entering my last year of my 30’s – I certainly don’t act like an almost 40 year old!!!  I tend to still act like someone in their late 20’s/ early 30’s – I guess being childless and single means I don’t really have to act my age!  The only time I feel like I act my age is when I’m worrying about my mortgage so I guess I’m a grown up in that sense – I do watch my money, eat a hell of a lot healthier than I did ten years ago and I think I value my family and friendships a lot more than I used to, however I still party hard and enjoy hanging out with my 18-25 year old friends as they make me feel young!.  My thirties have been pretty good and I know 40 is the new 30 but it still daunting to see the number on a page.

I probably won’t get a chance to write over the weekend as it is going to be a busy one – I am getting my hair done in the morning – yay one of my favourite things in the world is having people play with my hair and I am blessed to have beautiful long thick blonde hair – I am thinking of going ultra blonde tomorrow – getting ready for summer.  I’m then going out to lunch with my Mum, Nan, Sister, Nephew, Cousin and her two boys and maybe even my bestie, then I’m off to see Hairspray and party with my young Hornsby Friends after that.

I’m looking forward to lunch as I haven’t seen my Nan in months which is really slack as she doesn’t live far away, she is 85 and amazing, she doesn’t look her age at all – (wish I was ageing as elegantly as she has) and all us kids think she looks like Queen Elizabeth!!  When I rang her today to see if she wanted to do lunch she said my phone call made her day which is nice – let’s just hope the rain holds off! 

Saturday I’m off to the city to look at costumes for my Samba Dance Group – they want us to by Sequin Bra’s and G-strings – hopefully I can find a nice dress that is just a sparkly but covers me up a bit more – I’m then off to two engagement parties.

Sunday is the Rose Siedler House 50’s Fair – one of my favourite day’s of the year, a day of retro goodness, and if I do go catching up with some great friends, still not sure if I’ll make it or not depends how I feel Sat night and whether I want to spend another night in Sydney or head home to do some job’s around the house!!  Manly are playing the bulldog’s at brookie on Sunday also which is tempting to head down to.

Reader’s hope you have a great weekend – I’m sure I’ll have some brilliant photo’s to share next week – adios Donna xoxo
