So I had a pretty awesome birthday weekend! Thanks to everyone for all the well-wishes on Facebook, twitter, text message, etc. Friday night Adam let me open my present early and it turns out he got me a Canon Rebel XS digital SLR!! I've been talking about how much I'd like to upgrade to an SLR and start learning more about photography for quite some time, but I was seriously shocked when I opened up my gift. Needless to say I'm a *very* lucky girl to have such an awesome boyfriend who spoils me with such nice things. He also gave me movie-picking privileges the whole weekend so we finally cracked open the bottle of cider we got at Oliver Winery a few weeks back and watched "Amelie", which I think he enjoyed.
Saturday we slept in late and then spent the rest of the day shopping. I picked up a bunch of goodies for my new apartment with my Bath & Body works gift card from my mom and a "Canon Rebel XS for dummies" book to teach me how to use the new toy. I also picked out the new couch and loveseat I'm going to buy from Ashley Furniture in a few weeks when I get back up to Indy. Adam and I both agreed it was the only set in my price range that was both cute and comfy. The pillows that come with it aren't the best but they are cream colored on the back so I can flip them and keep everything neutral if I want or, worse case, just buy new ones. Still, it will be so nice to have REAL GROWNUP FURNITURE instead of my crappy, busted up futon (which is totally going in the dumpster when I move, woohoo!) Anyway, we had dinner at Maggiano's, which was amazing as always, and then came home and watched "Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban".
Yesterday was a lot more relaxing. We made waffles, watched movies, played with my new camera, spent some time with his family (they stopped by on their way through Indy from a grad party in Chicago), and cooked on the grill. It was definitely one of the best weekends we've had in a long time! Apparently being 27 doesn't suck that bad after all. ;-)
Otherwise this week is shaping up to be busy. I was too tired from work today to do anything tonight, but my agenda includes laundry, grocery shopping, and finally starting to pack to move, which I now have to cram into tomorrow night and Wednesday morning. I'm out my usual day off on Thursday due to having the weekend off, which is definitely awesome in some ways, but not so good with me being productive since people will be visiting. Somehow it'll all get done because... it has to. :-P
For now, I'm off to find pjs, maybe get some dessert, and get back to reading my book. What are you guys up to this week?
