Merry Britmas to me...
Well, Britmas unfortunately went about as well as I thought it would for me this year. The Hoffman's last night was more exciting than my actual Christmas and birthday at home. I did get the pea coat I wanted, and some luggage (for birthday) so I don't have to use the ridiculous cardboard boxes anymore. I got a few cd's but I picked them out for my parents to buy while at Best Buy (where in fact they were buying my brother and sister a 360 and ddr for it...) They also got digital cameras, and Marvin a psp, and swords as well and erica a new ipod. I got a new digital camera that i wasnt expecting but kinda hoping for in general, but after looking over the book and the camera itself, it seems like the one they picked out was actually a step down in quality from my trusty cannon... I might go look and see if there is a cannon i like better or a different nikon to exchange for... whatev. I got new disney dvds though. And some clothes from Grama White that I picked out, and also had to wrap myself (that was fun). I also got some other random gifts, i dont remember them all though... I did get a bit of money though from my older sis, mom, and Grama Bayer and aunt in tally.
Haha, my brother mispelled my name on my birthday card. But at least he made up for it with the gift. He got me a frog necklace with the rice in it with my name engraved... its really cute. It almost looks more like a grasshopper because the back is so long though, hehe.
Zac got me a collector's beatles yellow submarine calendar and a bright purple bathrobe, but i picked them out too and got them early. I told him to plan us a date (which he rarely does because he is always afraid i wont enjoy myself) and take me to dinner for our monthly-day/christmas/birthday celebration together. So that will be Thursday. He also promised to help me pay for my tattoo once Brad is done drawing it and we can get it started (the drawing is coming along beautifully by the way but spring break might have to be my starting time if he doesnt finish my the end of the week or early next week).
I was kinda hoping for some flowers or something like zac normally does, but oh well. Leave it to Brittany to be girly when least expected...
I got him two books he's been wanting- the second part of the alyss in wonderland wars books, and a book from a series about dragons- a pack of lime green playing cards for the loading dock,new avatar cologne, and some racing grannies for him and luke to play with. I'm also in the process of painting him a picture.. its huge... >.<
His parents got him a Wii and an acoustic guitar.
For my birthday dinner tonight, which i still didnt get to pick entirely what i wanted, we had a standing rib roast that was almost a disaster, scalloped potatoes, and orange glazed carrots. I had to make the scalloped potatoes and help with the carrots and bernaisse sauce for the meat (which we followed the wrong version of th recipe so it wasnt all that great either). Oh and my parents forgot to get the stuff for my sister to make her crabcakes so we didnt have those unfortunately.
Blah... At least I've gotten to enjoy the cd's i got today- muse, coheed, paramore, and motion city. i've been jammin in my room on and off. one of the few things that made me happy.
The family didn't do too much yelling today though so that was a plus. And I got to spend the whole day with Zachary, even though he slept for a while because he stayed up all night playing the Wii. We also watched Peter Pan.
