Yes, Ladies and Gents, it IS that time again. What, you say? Why, the day of my birth of course. The one day of the year that I must endure, 'I remember when.." stories, and watch my parents cry while I try to eat dinner. Oh, welcome to my life. Today hasn't sucked as bad as I thought it would though!! lol (Last year, I cleaned furniture all day.)
F-U-N.
So this year, I decided, no cleaning on my birthday. None. Zippo. Nada. Instead, I got to go out with my boyfriend, and spend time with him. Ok, so I'm not greedy or anything, but isn't it customary to bring your girlfriend a present on her birthday? A card? Something? I got none of these. I was however, told that he loves me, so that was sweet. And, he did tell me that I do have a present that I dont get until, 'next weekend' what's up with that? Oh well.
I didn't have to be home until 12:30, so we got here, and were outside for an hour, (this is when he chooses to tell me that he's in love with me..right as I'm about to go in my house.) So that pretty much stopped me in my tracks, and we talked for like an hour. I finally went in my house at almost 2, and went to bed. All in all, not a bad birthday so far.
I woke up at 10, got up, got ready, and we (my grandparents, my parents, my 2 cousins and their spouses/girlfriend, and my sister's boyfriend ----> John had to go back home so he wasn't there) all had my birthday dinner, followed by two kinds of cake. Pork roast with gravy, sweet potatoes, mashed potatoes, cornbread, homemade rolls, lima beans, cabbage (Yuck!! My grandma made is since my cousin is pregnant, and likes it. Ick.) Yellow cake with chocolate icing, and a red velvet cake. Fooooodd... We'll have leftovers for days.
After that giant eating fest, I got presents! lol My dad gave me
a bubble gun
batteries to go in it
extra bottles of bubbles to go with it
cotton candy ---> purple
A Mr. Potato Head coloring book
A box of 112 crayons
2 N'SYNC cds
And a key to my brother's old car.
Woot! All in all, dad doesn't want me to grow up, hence all the toys. But I love them, and I'll have fun with 'em. And hey, I got a car key. One step closer to total freedom baby..
To sum up my day, after that, I took a nap, John called me..we talked for like 2 hours, I took a bath, and started to write this. You are now officially caught up on my Birthday Events.
Ta-da. I'm finished.
