what a busy month so far! there are a few news-bits to report, i suppose . . . on 4 july, along with the typical independence day celebrations, i am throwing a large birthday party of sorts - for three people at once. ('damn,girl!' or something.) mike's birthday was earlier this month; also, since my mum and mike's mum both recently turned 50, it'll be '50s-themed, which i am excited about. i've still got a way to go with the preparation, but we actually live in a place large enough to [drum roll] accomodate real, live guests!, so i'm not worrying about it. as for the mums' gifts, i'm making each a series of cards which'll be tied together with ribbon or something of the sort. each one will have a different category with 1957-specific details. they're looking pretty neat so far - i'm pleased with my artwork to the point that i'm hesitant to have to give them up, hah. for mike, well, he gets cake. he already got his presents ON his birthday - and who doesn't like cake?? =P in other news, we may be moving next year. we're aiming for the end of our current lease (april-ish of 2008) and are going to go to either . . . europe or australia. i've always wanted to live in europe (germany, france, holland, somewhere like that), but aus sounds good to me, too - and mike's partial to it, so that may ultimately be where we wind up. i'll be sure to update any changes in this scheme of ours, bwahahah. i really wish there were other, more interesting things to write about, but there really isn't much. i've been busy, but in a boring way, i guess. =P hope all of you are having a terrific weekend.
