I love how this thread went from bibs & boobs (can i actually write that out) to anniversaries...now where is the food?;)
Anyway...Congratulations to all of you!!!:D now i must go and revise the list of appropiate gifts...we are getting married in less than a month:eek: so this will be fun!
as for the bibs...i have decided it is worth a try but i want to at least pop into a shop and try on a pair before i commit...meanwhile i found a pair of tights that will get me by till the sales get REALLY good.
Friday the 13th used to be a sacred day to the Northern Europeans. A day that honored the goddess Freya, and the 13th lunar month. I consider it an auspicious day, both in honor of my ancestors, and because my beloved nephew was born on a Friday the 13th! May it be a blessing to your marriages, although it sounds like you're doing very well on your own, thank you! ;) Lise
I knew that ALL Fridays honored the goddess Freya -- goddess of fertility and of Norwegian chocolate ;) -- but I wasn't aware that the 13th was extra special for her. Thanks for the info! And remember the Freia chocolate next Friday 13th!Quote:

you have a goddess of chocolate!!? Now THAT'S civilization. No wonder you moved there.

I am still waiting for my pink sidis. I don't think they make them in 11, though... :(
Don't forget:

Eighteen - Titanium freehub in custom wheels and Assos bib shorts (the later also appropriate for the Eleventh, was it maillotpois?)

Yummmmm, Norwegian Chocolate. My mother in law gives us a stack of Freia chocolate bars every year. My brother in law named his dog Freia too.Quote:
