I turn 39 today. I can only hope that I'd still be able to wear what I want to wear and have a fraction of Iris Apfel's style and substance when I'm her age.

Bird-day
The boyfriend and I play a very silly game every evening. From the moment he gets home until we go to bed, we keep score of the number of "birds" (the middle finger) we spring on each other at the most inopportune and unexpected moments - during dinner, mid-conversation, while watching TV, when one of us is on the phone...the person with the highest tally at the end of the evening wins.
This morning, I woke up to this package that he's placed on the 'puter before he left for work, wrapped in paper that he's printed - a photo montage of him doing the "bird", at least 30 of them. Fucker!
Within was another "bird". A book celebrating the style of a very cool old bird that I've wanted for a long time. It's the cheeky sod's way of saying "Happy Bird-day".

I haven't been excited about my own birthdays since I was five so I usually keep very quiet about it prior to the day, hoping friends will forget and not offer to throw parties. I get very embarrassed when I get too much attention focused on me at one go by many people.
If I live as long as Ms Apfel...xx
hah hah that birdgame sound so Leo
best demonstrated by Jofe doing a Leo impression
that phrase 'showing the bird' also always reminds me of your eeks about ostrich and/or Emu. nope, no idea where she's done neither. but every time i hear the phrase i think: what kind of bird is it meant to be? a goose? a swan? an emu.... etc
