Yes, I've turned 23. And no, I can't believe it. Up until not too many years ago I used to think that people in their twenties were not old, but I used to see them as mature beings... Now I know the truth *LOL*
I have to say that I wasn't really excited with the whole birthday thing this year. I've been so busy lately that I barely thought of this day coming during the whole week. In previous years, I'd be counting the days. But I have to say that I had a lovely day.
I woke up really late this morning (thank God I don't work on friday mornings anymore!) and was greeted first by my mum, then my brother. He gave this beautiful bag (a present from him and Julieta, his fiancé) which I loved, considering my handbag was way too small and nothing fits in it. I was getting tired of carrying my agenda in my hands because it didn't fit in the bag...
Then my sister came after lunch with the kids. They behaved so well that it was a pleasure to have them around. Tomás, the little one, who's turning 2 in June, is a lovely little boy. He learns everything so quickly... We were playing in the -very- small backyard and I was impressed when I heard him talk. Of course he's still learning, but it's really amazing to see how he learns new words everyday.
As for Santiago, he's a surprise as well. He started elementary school back in March and he's doing great so far. He gets good grades for all the things he does at school and he reads really well. He obviously got the good genes from his mother's side... *LOL*
What else? Then I went to work, friday afternoons are usually the quieter ones. Mariela, one of the English teachers, gave me a small make-up package with eye shadows, lipsticks and all kinds of brushes... I believe that's a not so subtle way to tell me that I should wear make-up more often... *LOL* I just don't feel like putting all that stuff in my face everyday...
Oh, Jay sent me a lovely ecard... She said she couldn't wrap Orlando for me because he was just too hype. *LOL* The same happened with Nicky, Jocey.
*LOL* Just checked my email and both Jay and another friend sent me the same ecard! Blame American Greetings! *LOL*
I should go now. I hope to update tomorrow after taking the nephews out... If I'm still alive!
