???

How do you delete really weird long comments from the comments
section? I knew how to do it on old Blogger but I can't work it out!

But hey – thank you all for the well-wishes! My birthday was nice.

We had family get together on Thursday night (my Dad's birthday was on
Wednesday night so we always have a joint celebration).

On Friday night, I had dinner and a few drinks just with hubby. It was
nice. Even though we ran into an ex-boyfriend's parents who came to
our table and stood there talking to us (awkwardness!) It was kinda
nice to hear what that ex is now doing (he's a bus driver –
hahahahahahahaha – okay-I'm-really-mean-and-shallow) and they kept on
trying to persuade me to visit them at their new house and go out for
a drink with them sometime. (Are they serious? I dated their son –
very briefly – 10 years ago! – it's not like I'm the daughter-in-law
they missed out on!)

Anyway, afterwards, we rented "Tenacious D: The Pick of Destiny" on
DVD and Hubby fell asleep about 20 mins in – as he always does with
movies (he has no attention span) but I liked it – it was good, silly
humour.

And that was my birthday.

Oh – and I got a new watch with matching bracelet, a jewellery box, a
frame for my PhD certificate, a "Happiness" Willow Tree figurine,
gardening secateurs, gorgeous green soup bowls, a red top, toiletries
(shower gel, moisturiser, mascara, lip gloss), flowers and chocolate.
Twas very nice.

I wanted to write something meaningful about turning 28, but all I can
say is that most of being 27 was kinda shit and it's starting to come
good now. Better, kinda. But hey – we achieved a lot over the last
year. I can't complain...

...except that people are starting to ask me when I'm going to have a baby.

Is that all it comes down to in the end?!

They start with
when are you getting engaged?

Then it's
When are you getting married?

Then it's
When are you going to have a baby?

When you've actually got a baby it's
When are you going to have another one?

Or better yet
How many are you going to have, you're not getting any younger you know.

AAAAAAAAAARRRRRRGGGGGGHHHHHHHH

I concur, Ginchy. They are never satisfied!

What a great birthday! I hope it's just a sign of all the great things to come to you this year!

Don't you know that now you have found a good mate that it is your duty to procreate?!!!

I also concur with Gincy's comments :)...the pressure doesn't stay the same either - it ramps up until you actually meet expectations!
