.% Splenda, Chili's and Birthdays
I've discovered why my stomach has been acting up the last two days. Vince gave me this drink called Fruit2O and I drank half yesterday before I went out with John. Only this morning did I discover that it had Splenda in it and I can't EAT Splenda. I'm such a smart person.
Anyhow, I'm excited because my birthday is on Monday and I kind of get to celebrate this "weekend." Last night John took me out to Chili's for dinner =) and to see "Hitch" at the Waterfront. He also got me a big box of candy (hehe) and a cute card and I'm excited. It was really sweet. I had a great time.
This birthday is undoubtably going better than last year. Either yesterday or today a year ago Rachel threw me a surprise birthday party at her house which was AWESOME. But John kind of ruined that one because instead of being there for the actual surprise part he decided he would rather work on his car and he came like four hours later. Whatever though. The thing was he got me a DVD of "West Side Story." Now normally this would be cute (except I told him I already had it) but at least he remembered that we watched it at his house. But he didn't get me a card and he looked like he wrapped it as he was running out the door. We went to the mall ON my birthday to exchange it and I got "Guys and Dolls" (I still haven't watched it). Basically it was kind of sad that my friends took way more time to recodnize my birthday than my own boyfriend did. Yeah, and then he broke up with me 6 days later on the 20th lol. There was a birthday wish ::rolls eyes::. So in comparison this birthday it turning out much better. I really have no boyfriend that can dump me and/or ignore me, but I do have someone that acknowledges (by the way I'm horrible at spelling) me and my birthday and took the time to make it special ^_^. So yeah, things are looking up.
I'm going to my aunt's house today for my 'family' birthday party. I want a little kids cake with a bunch of bright colors lol. No pretty pastels this year ^_^. But since I'm an odd kid and I don't really like birthday cake my mom ordered a Key Lime Pie for me ^_^! The best part is no one in my family likes Key Lime Pie so it's all MINE lol. I'm excited.
A disappointment is that my dad won't be there today, but that's alright. He actually got his teeth pulled because the medication he's on weakened them so much they were falling out. He should be getting dentures or something soon but right now he can't eat anyway. It's kind of sad that he won't be there but I guess I'm kind of used to it so it's no big deal. At least I get to see Ethan when I'm healthy ^_^. Monday is my actual birthday and my mom is taking me out to Applebee's before musical practice. I actually don't MIND having musical practice that night because well...I like musical. So it really isn't that big of a deal. Plus it shouldn't be too late.
I'm kind of on cloud 9 right now. I also think I've decided what I'm doing about college. Since I'm double-majoring it's most likely going to take me 5 years to get my dual degree, so right now I'm planning to go to Shippensburg for three years, and transfer to Duquesne for the last two. I calculated that I will come out $50,000 in debt if I went to Duquesne for 4 years, so I'm cutting the cost by going to Ship for half of my major and going to Duquesne for the other half (hopefully). Also, this way the degree will read "Duquesne University," not that there is anything wrong with a degree from Ship. But Duquesne is close to home and randomly prestigious. So that is so FAR my plan. Wish me luck. ^_^. And for all of you that have officially decided where you're going to college: Bless you. Heh, not that easy for me.
Peace, Love and Rollercoasters!
