34 years ago, on a sunny Saturday, the 5th of May 1984, late afternoon, at 7pm, a future MeanMommy was born! -yes, I chose poorly when it comes to my username...I got 33 stuck forever :P
So much going on right, so much I'm thinking about and so much to say, but I'll save most of it for a next post and focus on the birthday now!
I spent last weekend in Zurich, Switzerland, with some dear Greeks friends from Copenhagen and Paris -all of them living there now-, with a wonderful weather, amazing gifts and lots of fun! This year, my birthday was the same day as the year I was born: A Saturday! So I thought, why not??? Unfortunately couldn't join me because he had to work ...buuuut I took his gifts with me as you'll see below <3
Birthdays always make me think more.
Not just my birthdays, but also close to me people's birthdays as well. But of course, mostly mine. The time of accounts for the whole year and even resolutions is not New Year's for me - it's my birthday. This is when it all comes down to zero, the moment when I think all of my failures, my past, present and future, my joyful and sad moments. That's why, this time, even for 2 days, I decided to escape! And I will never regret it !!! :D
Here comes the slideshow!!!! ENJOY!
Say hello to the Birthday Girl!!! [or shall I say to the Birthday Queen? Muahaha]
My cake was a green, typical SWEDISH one - oh yes haha - and the candles had the colors of all of my favorite countries: Greece, Italy, Romania, Denmark, France and Sweden :)
That was the mood, but in the end I only got one hahahaha!!!
Here are a few of my gifts! The amazingly cute wooden vampire is from !!! <3
My friends who hosted me are living at this awesome place next to the train tracks, where from they can also see Zurich's lake! Here are some views [of me at the Port of Thalwil -close to Zurich- as well ;) ]
And some views walking around at the area of Thalwil, where they live - less than 10km away from the city center of Zurich:
Frogs everywhere !!!! :D
I'm in this world since 1984 and what my last birthday -finally- tought me is not to stress out...
I mean, I know I probably won't manage to completely do that...but I will sure try my best...
The night of my birthday, after midnight and after the party was over, I was heading home by train when I noticed this across my seat:
...it is a very popular bag of the Tiger shops but still, it felt like a sign that now I have to go back HOME, to loving Copenhagen, to my [and my problems as well] and deal with everything... Which I did, and ended up being better than expected! :D
