Let me eat cake!

28 Oct

No Weddingnesday post today – though I have something good lined up for next week’s – as I’m just too busy at the moment to think weddings. However I do have some cake though if that makes up for it?

As it’s my birthday tomorrow (I’m leaving my 20s behind… ekkk!) I thought I’d share some virtual yumminess with you all.

The strangest thing about turning 30 is that everyone keeps asking me if I’m freaking out. (Admittedly I know some people who did freak out at this point.) But I can honestly say it doesn’t phase me at all.

For one thing, I’m sure I’ve been at least 30 for some time partly because ever since I turned 26, people have been doing the ‘oooh nearly 30′ thing.

For a second, I’m pretty sure I don’t look my age – I got asked at the cinema on Saturday if I was an adult or a child’s ticket. (Not entirely sure this is a good thing but I’m taking it as a compliment.)

And thirdly, I’m happier in my life now than I ever have been and if this is how happy I am at 29, roll on 30

Tomorrow the other half has a surprise day planned (you would think he’d be tired of doing surprises by now!) and then I’m taking a week off work. I was thinking of taking a blogging break too – which will allow me to get some pictures taken of my now infamous bathroom and some other things I’ve been promising to show for-like-ever!

So bye for now – see you all in November and when I’m in my 30s! xx

P.S. Depending on how it goes, I may end up doing a Halloween post on Halloween – need to see how well my costuming and decorating goes though!

P.P.S. How amazing are these cakes? I need to learn to bake properly!

Wow that cookie monster cupcake is incredible!
I’m glad to know that 30 doesn’t scare you. I’ve still got a little way to go, but I can only imagine it as something to be reached with trepidation. I hope you’re surprise is lots of fun and that you have a nice break.

Weddingnesday… our sweet Save the Date

We’re getting married. We wanted to tell our family and friends to save the date… but we didn’t want to spend any money doing it. We wanted to do something that would them an idea of the kind of wedding they were being invited to… and what we’re like as a couple. So we shot [...]
Weddingnesday… are you still getting married?

“Oh my god, I thought you’d called the whole thing off!” This was a friend’s reaction recently to the non-enthused response I gave about our wedding planning. Non-enthused, not because we’ve cancelled the wedding, but because we haven’t done any wedding planning for, well, nearly a month. Cue slightly concerned looks from some friends and [...]
Weddingnesday… how could I forget about the shoes?

I’m no Imelda Marcos but I do own more 5 inch heels than is surely sensible – so imagine my surprise when I realised I hadn’t even considered shoes for our wedding. (This only dawned on me after reading this post on Bletherings of a Glasgow Bride.) As someone who has a plethora of sparkly, [...]
Friday I’m in love… with things I can’t show you!

Some of you know this already but a while back the OH asked me to stop blogging about our wedding. (If you didn’t know, you might have noticed that there’s a been a lack of ‘reference’ posts recently.) He asked me to do this for a sensible and very good reason. (Not because he was [...]
Weddingnesday… the wedding with space hoppers!

Have you seen K, tea‘s wedding? I saw her pics on Saturday morning and was immediately grinning from ear to ear. This is so how I want our wedding to be – full of fun, laughter and a little silly. We’ve been seeing celebrants recently and have been struck by how serious they are. We [...]
