12 of 12 (3.0) - September 2008

Another month, another 12 of 12 (for further information go see Chad's blog). And a very special one it was, especially for me. :D I turned a quarter-century yesterday and spent a fun day, complete with partying into my birthday (together with my very good friends Maik and Christian), some swimming, a relaxed afternoon and choir practice in the evening with subsequent party. Woohoo!

We inconveniently forgot to take a picture at midnight, so here is a close-to-midnight and slightly fuzzy shot of Dresden city hall...

...and of the birthday girl, together with Maik. Christian took this very cool picture.

Finished frosting the cake before bed.

After being rudely awakened by the janitor mowing the lawn right under my bedroom window at 7 am and several unsuccessful attempts to go back to sleep I decided to bite the bullet and finally get up.
07:26
Me? Not a very happy camper, which the somber picture aptly illustrates. :D
07:34
Weather? Check. Not the best, but at least it didn't rain. It has gotten quite chilly over the last few days. Summer suddenly seems to be over. Bummer!
08:38
The breakfast of birthday girls. :D
11:32
Swimming! Or rather: observing the water before the...

11:33
...actual swimming and mostly diving part. I'm sorry for the pixel-y picture, the friend who went swimming with me took this picture from the distance. I would have preferred not putting this picture in with the other 11 (clearly not a very flattering one *blush*), but at the end of the day it seemed that I was short one photo so I had to include it in order not to have a 11 of 12. :D
17:02
Drying and styling my hair, which isn't exactly fun after hours in chlorinated water...
17:11
The result. The whole process took a mere 37 minutes.

18:31
Ready to leave for choir practice, which - on birthdays - involves bubbly and birthday cake.

Photo-wise, my day unfortunately stops right there because I had so much fun afterwards that I forgot to take more pictures. :D

See you next month!
