Because nothing is real unless it happens on the internet, here is me opening my birthday gift from my folks, sister and brother-in-law and myself:

It’s huge and OTT, but I am totally up for any accessory that makes me look thin by comparison.

You can get one here, although I wasn’t overly thrilled with my shopping (gifting?) experience with this site, to be perfectly honest. Still, it’s here.

[Update: Thanks also to Jasmin & Hayden for the gift voucher. A certain mother who shall remain nameless neglected to tell me about your contribution!]
