The third most important birthday in the year

.....after mine and jesuss of course.

Saturday the 14th January was a very special day for the Big news at twelvty. It was the birthday of or favourite aquitted nose robbing criminal, Juanine!! She was a picture of beauty and compossure and happiness when she waltzed in the doors of her new favourite watering hole. We had balloons and streamers to welcome her. We even found friends....thought missing in action or at least in another bar, namely Lovebug Monks and Valerie.

But 20mins later and a couple of JDs and maybe it was also the fact that she was so overwhelmed by the turn out and her wonderful friends, she lost a little compossure and her vision got a little fuzzy...but she was still the picture of beauty.

Tonto and Mcfabuolus (most important and fourth most important birthdays in the year respectively) are well aware of the joy and fun and frolicks of birthdays and are big fans of present giving...especially when they are recieving said presents. Alas, its been a long week and both are smashed. But not to be out done or called names, they preformed their famous floating head trick for Juanine. Everyone was well impressed. Some were slightly scare. All you need is some sticky back plastic and a toilet roll insert. I've said too much.

Of course, drinking plays a big part in birthday celebrations. The drink of choice for the night was the baby guinness....mmmmmm. They so pretty. and so yummy. So pretty that it took Roisin a while to convince Valerie we should drink them. She really didn't need all that much convincing though.

The obligatory "we're about to do a shot picture". Theres always one.

But then when no one was looking....except for whoever took the photo, Tonto and Miss Mary did another. In an altogther fabulous way. Its tricking and must only be attempted under the supervision of trained professionals. Me and Mary will be glad to help. As long as we can a shot too.

So to recap. Fun was had be all. It was tame enough at the start. Lots of smiles and polite conversation. And odd men trying to get in on the photo.

But of course it never stays tame for too long. We even met new friends along the way. Happy birthday Juanine!! (remember its mine and mcfabulous's in 2 months :) )
