Yes it’s me. Me and my $14/mo neglected website. Whoops!

I think most of you know that since I got back from Denmark over the holidays everything has been absolutely manic.  Not even joking.  January turned into Tornaduary.

All things aside, life has been pretty great.   It’s a good thing to be busy… I’m pretty sure, anyway.  I was just in London last week for a few days, more on that some other time. This is my dedicated princess birthday blog post!

I turned 25 last Monday.  Richard (my boss) and I found ourselves to be the only ones willing to get a drink after dinner on monday night in the spirit of our birthday.  the birthday that we share… yes it’s weird… really weird. 

But my princess expectations of my birthday week were not forgone.  I celebrated on the Thursday night before I left for London with some friends at Cactus Club – my second home.  Went out a bit in London while I was there and then ultimately my hubby finished up my birthday week with a bang!

I got to Denmark on Wednesday night, completely shattered from sitting in a meeting room for three days straight.  In I walked to the bedroom to collapse and suddenly what did I see?!

My very own princess mirror!  I don’t think I complained a lot but Christian never had a full length mirror at his house.  This is obviously an issue.  Which was gracefully resolved by this beauty!  So shabby chic, I can’t believe he’s going to let me have my big girly mirror in his room!  Woop!

Better yet… Check out this hot Gaga inspired card he wrote me:

How friggggggen adorable is he?  He is my second half, my better half and more.  I love you, Christian!

Moving onwards with my birthday week… we went out Friday night to a tapas dinner in København and then out to the bars in Nørrebro with friends afterwards.  I finally found a bar in København that serves up proper margaritas.  Fresh ingredients (I nearly collapsed) and she knew what I meant when I said …. On the rocks no salt.  Rock on. 

I literally ran home at 5am… it was cold, I thought I was going to die.  Seriously… felt like I was in Antarctica wearing a cocktail dress and tights.  Whoops!  However, Christian told me that my “running” wasn’t much faster than he could walk behind me, pfft!

Saturday I didn’t emerge from my dyne until 1pm at which point operation cook dinner for 13 people commenced.  Slicing and dicing and baking and pan frying… We used every bowl, pot, pan and piece of silverware in our tiny kitchen!

Dinner was held across the terrace at Farmor’s house.  Lots of girly decorations (Thanks to Christian’s Uncle Bjarne for the gorgeous flowers).  Jilly style for sure.  Food was great, but we were so exhausted (and smelling pretty badly of onion and meatballs haha).  

In the end my birthday week celebrations culminated with drum roll please…LAGE KAGE…  whoa.  This the end all, be all for cakes.  I’ve been talking about my lage kage from Farmor for about a month now. 

It was obviously just as good as I dream about it (sick, I know).  The butterfly decoration was actually some teamwork between Christian and I and was made out of Marzipan. 

I suppose you want to know what “Pillefinger” means… basically it’s like poke/tickle finger.  It was a word I made up when I was trying to remember the different names of all the fingers in Danish.  It was kind of suiting, though.  I tend to poke and tickle Numsemund a lot.  I’ll let Christian explain his Numsemund nickname…

Or not.  I will.  It literally translates into “Buttmouth” hahaha.  I also made this up.  I think it sounds cute in Danish – and the fact that it’s absurd makes it all the better!  I am so clever!

And that was my princess birthday week in a big coconut shell.  I hope you had fun reading… or looking at the pictures.  I probably would have stopped reading by now.  :)

Love you monsters! Xx
