The Amazing Weekend of Birthday Awesome-sauce!

I've really had a wonderful weekend... thanks for the lovely birthday wishes that you sent.

It all pretty much started on Friday.... I had pressies at breakfast, the beautiful flowers from a client (Ta Gemma! xx) and tea Kai and Kennie in the office made for me in near constant supply while I was at work.

Friday evening started off by getting ready to go out, then popping onto hangouts to say hi (I did promise!)

Of which, the guys basically had a mini party and let me take over the hangout -

I then headed on out to Stirling, meeting up with some of my best friends in the Kilted Kangaroo (that's the

place in the piccy) and then onto a club/pub called Cult. I managed to borrow my friends iPhone4 and jump

onto a hangout... thus, this happened: https://plus.google.com/u/0/103038287804535196503/posts?hl=en

We had an amazing night, ending up stargazing up by Stirling Castle before being run home by my very, very

generous and amazing big brother Andrew. Unfortunately, Kai broke his iPhone... booo!

So... that was the actual birthday... Saturday ended up with Kai and I running around Falkirk trying to find

me a new pair of shoes (since I managed to maim my good boots the night before) and then heading through to

Haddington... I've done a super-short vlog on youtube to thank people for the brilliant messages.

We went out for dinner and had a fabulous time (apart from trying to break in the new shoes)... we enjoyed

watching the fireworks on the way home (Nov 5th is Bonfire Night - AKA Guy Fawkes night. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guy_Fawkes_Night )

Sunday consisted of being fed an enormous breakfast by Kai's step-dad Chris (which was amazing, thanks Chris!) driving back home and then visiting my mum... organising what's happening at Christmas! (huzzah! I love Chrimbo!) Saw my brother, Sis-in-law and two beautiful nieces while I was out at Mums... My brother Andrew said he had the kit to fix Kai's phone, so we got it off him and fixed Kai's phone! Yey!

We went off and saw In Time at the cinema... a couple of hours of very good entertainment (I thought the idea of it was so clever)

Then headed back and watched Misfits on Channel 4 and something else while I attempted to shove up that video on youtube for you...

But thanks again everyone for being a fairly chunky part of my birthdayness! xx

Jaclyn's Spectacular Birthday Night Out Extraordinare and Weekend of Real Life!

Well... the weekend of real life kinda ended on Sunday morning.... but yeah.

It was Jax' 23'rd birthday on Friday - so the celebratory night out was required...

I got a gorgeous designer bracelet sent as a gift from the lovely Hayley Menzies (http://www.hayleymenzies.com)... I promised to blog and show a picture... so ta da!!

So, we started off in Cape and decided we couldn't be bothered with the live band, so headed down to the Kilted Kangaroo... (previously Outback) and basically set up a wee corner of the pub for ourselves and our hijinx. Then off to Dusk nightclub... Tee-he!

There's tons of photos on my flickr account, but really, I'll upgrade to put even more on soon. Here is a small selection of the photos...

Me and Kai

Me and Martin... yes, he likes to lick

Jaclyn, Martin, Mike, Me

Stefan, Jax, Martin (in a state of euphoria apparently) and Moi

Me and Alisdair - he's got some pout!

YMCA fail

I had a wicked time and as designated driver - I had no hangover to get over! Huzzah! Although catching up on sleep - that's another thing completely. It was really nice to see everyone and have a great night out with some brilliant friends.

So... after a fairly short sleep - (6 hours) I headed out to the east coast to Dunbar to visit my big bro (who was on holiday with the wife and kids) and my aunty Linda that lives out there. I took my mum out there and had a lovely road-trip with the nice weather and Katie and dog. Linda's home was idylic... when I retire - I totally want to live somewhere like that!

Saturday Night consisted of Captain America with Kai and Steve! Nothing like comic based American patriotism to cheer up a Saturday night... the patriotic likes of which hasn't been seen since the last series of 24. I loved it. Can't wait for the Avengers film (yes, I waited till the end of the credits to see the trailer)

So once I got home, I focussed on sorting the photos from Friday (just getting rid of red eye and resizing) but today - it's a chill out day - possibly with a bit of Stumbleupon and google+ness and lots of old Smallville.
