Well, today has come by fairly quickly, it feels like only last year I was celebrating my 30th birthday, and here we are, a year on, for my 31st.
It has been fairly good so far, Kaleb had a lay in so me and Aimee went down to have a coffee, hung out in the garden for a while, and in general just sat around until Kaleb woke up at around 8:30, he was in fairly good form when he woke up too, which was nice.
Todays Plan
Today is Aimee's nephews Christening, which should be really nice. We've all gotten ourselves ready, and are going to be down in the church for 12 today, and then it's back to the house to prepare and pack up the food, and bring it along to their house to get it ready for the guests.
My parents, sister, her partner, and my niece are coming down too, to hang out too, which will be good. It'll be the first time they're meeting Aimee's niece, and in general it's going to be good to hang out with everyone for the day.
It is going to be a fairly hot day, which is really good, so we'll all be outside.
This Evening
I have no plans for my actual birthday celebration, but I do know it involves drinking.
The word has been sent out, and for anyone who isn't working, they've all said they'd be out. The troops are assembled, and at around 5 we'll be holding a briefing.
Last weekend, I went out and got fairly smashed. So, in a way, I don't want to go too wild today, but I'll play it by ear and see how the night takes us.
While I would like to wake up fresh tomorrow, I have a feeling I might be egged on by a few of the lads, but we'll see.
This summer I've only been out twice, and before that, it was Paddies Day, so I am/ have been behaving myself this year, so I'm not going to beat myself up about a little blow out now and again.
Last week was excessive though, if I do say so myself. I finished work at 5, went to a mates house, had 5 rum and fantas, 2 shots, 2 bottles of Heineken, left the house at 8 feeling fairly merry, had 6 pints of Heineken, then had a bit of an after session in mine and had 3 bottles of Hein-o-mite, and a can; we stayed up until around 5 talking waffle.
The hangover was brutal, so I'm not looking to repeat that.
