What made me happy today? Birthday shenanigans!
As you may remember, it was my birthday on Wednesday. And I have to say, I celebrated it thoroughly this year :-)
On Wednesday, my parents came over. I had asked them to give me socks as a birthday present, just so I could say: 'Master has given Dobby a sock. Master has presented Dobby with clothes. Dobby is free!' That made my mom look very confused. my dad, on the other hand, had this resigned look on his face, as if to say 'oh no, she's at it again'. After this we went for Mexican food. Yummie!
On Friday, I met up with my boyfriends. Together we went to his parents. They gave me a very lovely card. My boyfriend had gotten me 'Vader's little princess', a comic about Darth Vader raising princess Leia. We had seen that one in the window of a bookstore. I squee'd so much over it, which he took as a hint :-) Best birthday present! We had raclette, with actual Swiss cheese, bought during our vacation there. Then we had ice-cream! Nom!
Yesterday, my boyfriend and I met up with some other friends for sushi. It was delicious! After the sushi, we went for some drinks. We had some great conversations, and discussed some very varied topics, ranging from your average geekery to nuclear science and privacy laws. This is why I like my friends. But the bar we were at was very full and noisy, so around midnight I started thinking about going home. But just as I was about to get up, another friend came in. He had said he couldn't make it to my little party, as he was abroad for a conference. But after he landed, he decided to stop by and have a quick drink :-) Around 01.45 o'clock we all decided to go home.
I think that I have never celebrated my birthday as much as this year. And I have some great friends too!

Brave books
What made me happy today? Having an awesome weekend in London!
Okay, technically, it was in Watford. But it was fun!
We (that is the BF and I) took the Eurostar on Friday. All went well, and soon I was reunited with my brain-twin! Underground we went, to take the underground! (see what I did there?) One stop later we hopped onto a train, and soon we got to our destination. Went to Tesco the next morning, huzzah for cheap, healthy cookies! We also wend book-shopping on Saturday, as both the BF and myself are avid readers. I scored a grand total of 12 books, at some really awesome low prices (yay for charity shops!)! And to top it off, we had supper at the local pub. I had the all-day breakfast :-) Yum!
That evening it was time for my brain-twin's Brave themed birthday party. As she is a dead ringer for princes Merida, we all dressed up! No pics yet, they will follow once I get them. It was a blast! I discovered cider, we played darts and pool and had loads of laughs. There was a moment in which we thought I might be secretly British, I love cider and my favorite flavour of crisps is salt & vinegar. But as I don't like queuing, and have no sentiment regarding talking about the weather it was unanimously decided I am in fact not British after all. Last call came too fast, so we relocated to my brain-twins house. Talked, laughed some more, discovered you can order booze online and watched some Black Books :-) I went to bed around 2, happy but totally tired.
Sunday, we woke up around noon. Had some breakfast, I dyed my brain-twin's hair, talked a lot more, went back to Tesco (jam-filled donuts for 65p? No wonder there's an obesity problem) and bought some food. Back home pancakes and jam-filled donuts were served for afternoon tea, after which we went for a walk, and sat in a park. A perfect way to end a perfect weekend!
Today we came home, which was totally uneventful. So now I'm off to bed, to have fun-filled dreams :-)

Summer party!
What made me happy today? Summer party at work!
There was a party at the office today after work. Summer themed! And I have to say, our social committee did a great job.
Smoothies, sangria, snacks, chips and dip, not to mention all the summer style decorations! It's kind of fun to kick of the weekend in that way, even if it's at the office.
Of course, you wouldn't say it's summer when you look outside. But don't let that dampen your spirits :-)
It's weekend and the summer has officially started!

Raise your glass
What made me happy today? A drink in my name!
A while ago I was very happy to be able to announce that I was going to be promoted. As of today, it's official! And so, at work we had a drink for me and one other coworker who was promoted as well. Kind of nice to see all those people show up and raise their glass to congratulate you :-) No worries, it was soda. Alcohol is not allowed during the working hours, and even if it would be, I only drink alcohol once or twice a year...
On top of that I also got my company car today. It's a nice diesel car, so it drives a bit smoother than the other one. Yay :-)
It was a good day today! I hope yours was equally good!

Family
What made me happy today? My family.
We had our family's (my father's side at least) New Year's get together today. It was great.
I have a fantastic family. We get along pretty well :-) And it seems like the kids do to. Several of my cousins have children of their own, they were all there as well. And they played together so nicely! It was great to see how the bigger ones played with the little ones, even my goddaughter (my sister's baby girl) who's almost 11 months now.
We don't all see each other that often, but we stay in touch through FaceBook, email etc. My female cousins and I try to meet up once a year for dinner and an evening out, without the guys. We always have lots of fun, because we all like good food and laughing.
Sometimes I don't see my family as often as I wish. I live about 80 km away from most of them, but as mentioned before: long live modern technology! Plus, it makes the times when I get to see them a bit more special!
Even though we all have different lives and live in different places, we're connected through blood and each one of my family members holds a special place in my heart :-)
