The simple things

by Kelley

in Happy happy joy joy, so sweet I could vomit

As you get older it is the simple things that make you the happiest.

A hug.

A call while waiting for your train just to say hi, and I miss you.

A cake made of donuts sprinkled with maple glazed bacon OMG YES I AM TOTALLY MAKING IT TODAY!

An ipad

Breakfast made for you and the kitchen cleaned up afterwards.

Seeing the bottom of the laundry basket.

Not dying.

Today is my birthday and I will spend it with Boo and MPS.

The Damn Emos are not here today but if they could they would be and that is all that I ever need.

I will just lounge around and eat and drink coffee and demand cuddles constantly because it is my birthday.

Boo: for you. As many as I can hold in my hands.

My present: Β Flowers Boo brought in for me to make me happy when I was feeling sad, on canvas.

If you are in Victoria, South Australia, Tasmania or Canberra enjoy the Public holiday that I organised for you to celebrate my birthday.

You are welcome.

I’d wish you a happy birthday, but you obviously hate me because I didn’t get a holiday. Make me a holiday and you’ll get your damned happy birthday, bitch!

12th of March has always been SO sad for me, because it is the day after my birthday.

But you changed all that … you with your awesome and your macaroons and your beautiful soul.

Happy, happy birthday beautiful lady. Love your guts … and ZOMG YOU GOT A FLOWER PRINT AND I GOT A GUN PRINT.

Flowers and guns. That’s us.

Happiest of happy birthdays, Kelley! Those daisies are divine. And while I know I should be grateful for the public holiday you organised, it didn’t extend to me – universities still worked today ! πŸ™ But the main thing is that you had a lovely day. It really is the little things…
