Current mood: crushed


hi there? anyone?

7 days till my 44th birthday... I am so dreading this!!!
For the first time in very long there will be no loved one to make me a cup of tea in the morning, no birthday kisses, hopefully some cards from family and friends, no presents or flowers - unless I go and buy for myself, no one that takes me out for a slap up meal - unless, yes you get the gist,... But I just found the silver lining on the cloud: I can drink the whole bottle of champagne all by myself!
Things to do before my birthday:
1. make voodoo doll with her hair found during cleaning up the flat. Stick loads of pins in very painful places, then stamp on it, quarter and draw. And spit on what is left. Leave to slowly disintegrate. With maggots!
2. book expensive hairdresser for glam haircut on Exie's credit card - if I can find it
3. be picked up & snogged by a boy half my age , then send him home to mummy because he's too boring to play with
4. find an attractive, funny, tender and mature man (note to self: affluent preferably) who takes me to Thornbury Castle for birthday dinner and I wouldn't mind breakfast either - but that's pushing my luck, any non chain restaurant worth it's foie gras will do... OK, he can cook it himself (knowing my luck that will be beans on toast then,..) Don't care, as long as I don't have to wash the dishes. I'll even bring the champagne myself! (bottle nr 2 by then, I suspect)... Christ, I better stop here as my standards are getting so low I'll be booking an escort next...
5. find religion and retreat out of this love forlorn world? if only I didn't hate sandals that much, and robes,... and extreme religion for that matter. Maybe start my own? Too short notice, I think.
6. win lottery, throw ginormous party then swan off to New York to buy new shoes and then to Paris for a dirty weekend with excellent food and some lingerie shopping

This is perking me up no end. I am a woman of small pleasures, me...
