I'm beginning to like the 2 day birthday which happens when I'm in US. I get a 48hr celebration with the time differences. Thanks for all the birthday wishes. I made the most of having the day off work and had lunch with Nina then booked in for a much needed haircut, even the hairdresser pointed out that a colour was well overdue. Its back to having healthy hair again and all the same tone :).
As always I left my present opening til the evening, to Shammy's frustration, I was even thinking of leaving it til this morning (Oct 10th), but that didn't go down very well.
Shammy surprised me with an evening out at a classy restaurant in Bethlehem, called the Edge. The quality of food was superb and I ended up having green beans seared with coriander, pine nuts and cured tofu and grilled tuna (soooo goood!!). Shammy on the other hand went for the black truffle angus beef burger served with truffle parmesan fries and I didn't hear too much complaining from him :). On the way to dinner he had also stopped off at the itunes store and I'm now the owner of a new itouch which is great to store my pharmacy applications and lighter for running with.
I then had a birthday dessert of homemade cinnamon ice-cream on apple pastry which Shammy and I had a tug-o-war over, yum, yum!
Then home to a surprise present under my pillow (my favourite magazine and a card inside). This was particularly cool in that Shammy has never been a greeting card man.
I wish it was my birthday every day of the year. Back to the reality now of study. We are both in the hospital library this weekend as Shammy has an exam next weekend and I still have plenty of study to do for mine. I seem to be working more than the 2 days I planned on at the moment, seems like they need assistance at work still.
We will have to start looking at overseas flights to Australia and India soon and are trying to work out what our next competitive run will be. We have started doing Boot camp classes at the gym and it takes about 3 days afterwards to walk and sit normally again.
Fall has definitely arrived and the jumpers are coming out of the closet again.
Okay no more procrastinating, back to the study books :)
