Ah another year older, I have been 29 on the 29th forever, but agreed it was finally time to turn thirty. The family and my colleagues at work and especially my boss were so kind and I had a really enjoyable birthday. The winter weather always sets in and true to form it was a cold and wet day. I received all kinds of interesting gifts, a book by my favorite author, an electric blanket for keeping warm at night, a double of course, I share everything with the better half. He actually was quite out of the birthday scene as he had an early morning appointment and I had work as usual. It was so wonderful to enjoy a lunch out with my boss the day before and we did not discuss work at all. Pizzas and champagne for lunch in the office on the day! Then yesterday evening a small group of close family went out to supper, my father's treat, no cooking and it was so relaxing. I have some birthday cash to jingle in my pocket and so the birthday shopping beckons.

I fall under the starsign of Gemini, and yes, we do want to rule the world. Well those of us with the split personalities. I definitely can multi-task, and the grandiose personality emanates from the repressed free spirit. Here I can fly and express myself! I thought I would either write a poem to me for my birthday, or do a little quiz. The thing is I can never decide which is my favorite colour. I can look good in blue and I really do like the colour sky blue. Orange like the beautiful sunsets and the warmth it exudes also makes it my favorite color. So I have two favorite colors. Every birthday card I received had some cute animal pic, so I guess I am a recognised animal lover. Ok, and both the restaurants we patronised specialised in seafood, and I do not particularly enjoy seafood as a first choice. I wonder if my better half could answer the quiz, I somehow doubt it.

And now for a poem:

On turning 30++ (yeah right!)

Who are we?

We are who we are

and we get what we pay for

we also pay for what we get

I care for me and I care for you

I care for you more than me

thus if I am more than one person

That is a good thing to be

Enjoy life and don't live for one

spread wings in the great sky

live by the sun and never die

before the time... because life is fun!

( Apologies,no wonder I was given wavy candles on my birthday cake).

Take care everyone!! Love from Eve
