By and large, 40th birthday presents should be elegant, boring or appallingly tokenistic. Perhaps all three.
That is, if the person celebrating the milestone is generally regarded as an adult.
Apparently, I am not generally regarded in such light.
But that's good, right?
Right?
What am I talking about?
I'm referring to the list of gifts I received for my 40th birthday. I think you'll agree that either, this is:
a) pretty damning evidence
or
b) worthy of inclusion in bold on the cover sheet of my CV.
In random order, because that's the way my brain works, I recently received the following:
- 1000 worms (incl vegetable scraps and a clump of pubic hair for them to eat)
- compost bin 1
- compost bin 2
- floor cleaning slippers
- hand sewn "Still hate the Roosters" block by Clair
- pirate bandaids
- giant eraser
- home made doll of Lila by Lila
- home made earrings from cat bells
- home made Beatles reiki pack by Cath D.
- Glo-Stix earrings
- The Atheist Manifesto
- Edelweiss handbag
- Pandora turtle
- Pandora bunny
- Pandora football
- comical underpants
- slipper socks with pig pompoms
- brass flying pig watering can which is not water tight and looks a lot like Phoebe
Please be advised that all of the above mentioned gifts are cherished.
Okay, okay,so that's not all I got, I did in fact receive some lovely, sensible gifts, but I'm not proud of that, and I'm not inclined to mention them.
Of course, amongst everything else, I did get the gift of freedom when I quit my job, but that's not silly, so I'm not counting it.
Hooray for life, luv sim xoxo

Love the Lila doll!
Doesn't appear to be genetically possible.
I have inherited both the recessive and dominant genes for nonsense.
