Ok, so I am officially 26. It doesnt feel as awful as I was expecting. My boss definately cheered me up a bit today when he said "Well, at least your old enough to drink now". Haha.
So lets see, Friday I went out withJoeJoe Bear, Betty and Pookie for Thai food. Yummy. Loves it. I am a huge fan of Thai, so I was so excitedthat everyone was up for it. Then we went out for dessert and coffee at Dolci. On the way back to Bettys house we witnessed a car accident. It was pretty scary. I was driving and we got to an intersection. The car in front of us flew through it, as another car flew through it from a different direction. Pow. They hit each other. Then the car coming from the other direction spun out and missed my car by inches. I mean literally like 3 or 4 inches. I was shaking. After that, we went to Bettys house (it happened on her street). I had to chill there for a while, because I was kind of freaked out. Eventually JoeJoe Bear and I went home and went to bed.
I woke up Saturday early. I still had not bought birthday presents for Joey or Betty. And Joe and I decided that we were exchanging presents on Saturday, because on my actual birthday he was supposed to leave to go back to NJ. So I needed to get presents. I left my house at 9 am and headed out. On the way to my shopping trip, I won a radio contest. That would excite most people, but I win them all the time. This time I won a 4 pack of tickets into the wfnx mardi gras party. if i go, I can win a trip to new orleans if i get the most beads. I want to go, but its a tuesday night until 1 am, and thats pretty late if i work on weds. I dunno, i still may go. after all, it is mardi gras. still, i am going to new orleans in may, soooo i dont really need to win another trip there. haha. though i would not complain if i did, i suppose.
well, i did my shopping. I got JoeJoeBear 3 video games and a movie. I have the worst time buying him presents. He doesnt want anything, and if he does, he buys it himself, or just doesnt tell me what he wants. its semi aggravating.
I went home and wrapped all the presents I purchased. Then we decided to go get lunch. we went to the lame mall that I dont much like. Limited was having a huge sale. I bought this wicked cute tweed suit for 20 dollars. Loves it! I need suits, so when they are that cheap, i cannot pass them up.. When we got home, we celebrated our bdays together by exchanging presents. I unwrapped mine first. there were 4. The first one was a plug. I was a little confused. the second one was a battery. also semi confused. present 3 was a tape. not an audio tape. a camcorder tape. hmmmm. the wheels in my mind were turning. why would he tease me like this!?!?!?!! Well, he wasnt!!! present number 4 was my camcorder. he wrapped the peices all seperate so i would have a bunch of presents to open!!! I am so so so so excited! I have already taken over an hour of video on it.
After our presents we went to bettys house, where we exchanged presents. pookie, martha stewart the second and kathryn the great all came over, along with bettys husband thomas and my darling joe joe bear. My peeps all got me awesome bday presents that i love very much. thanks guys!!!!!!
Well, off we went to the sole proprietor in worcester. mmmmm. I had sushi and crab cakes. it was soo sooo sooo good. and for dessert, i had a chocolate bag with kathryn the great. mmmmm. then off to two cousins with kristen met up with us! Yay! I was so happy to see her. i hardly ever see her so i was uber glad she came out. at two cousins, we drank some more, and played a game of beer pong. fun fun fun. me and martha stewart the second lost to joe joe bear and thomas. martha needs to choose a better partner for next time. i only got 1 ball in the whole time. After 2 cousins, we went to jd's. its a bit sketchy, but there is a great jukebox and you dont have to deal with the whole teeny bopper crowd/. it was a good choice. and we stayed there until they made us go home. Kristen brought me and joejoe bear home, which we greatly appreciated. i dont think it would have been wise for either of us to even think about driving. we were drunk to say the least!
Sunday was my official bday. we got up around noon and dragged ourselves to kps for breakfast. mmmm corned beed hash, hash browns and eggs. then home, where i had a bday party with my parents. i had my favorite cake ever, a chocolate whipped creme cake from mrs. macks bakery. yummmmmm. And my mom used trick candles that almost caused me to have an asthma attack blowing them out. But after about 28 tries, the candles all went out. And I ate up my cake. Then I got to open presents!!! my mom gave me some $ (I have been difficult, because there wasnt anything i could think of that i really wanted since i got everything i wanted a month ago for christmas, except my camcorder). On top of that, she got me the kangaroo sneakers I have been wanting for over a year. they are fabulous, hot pink and lime green. wicked wicked cute. loves it. Also, she got me a really cute sweater from AE and some kitty cat playing cards.
Joejoe bear decided not to go home so we went out shopping at newbury comics. Martha stewart the second had bought him a bday giftcard there which he greatly appreciated. so he went to spend it, cuz there are no newbies in nj. He got some weird cds. he has really ODDDD music taste, where he wont listen to anything played on the radio. so i really dont have any idea what he bought. he may have gotten a ben folds cd. i like ben folds, so i recognized that name. and the decemberists. not sure what else. I had a giftcard left over from xmas that my sister Jessie got me, so I bought the Killers cd. Loves it!! its really awesome. it sounds very 80s, almost like the cure, but good. I totally recommend it. much better than the pos good charlotte cd i wasted money on!!!!
Anyhow, after that, we went home and had dinner with my fam. Betty had invited us to see a movie with her but we just didnt make it. sorry betty, i really wanted to go. after dinner, joejoebear and I curled up and cuddled. it was so nice to have him around. we watched tv into the wee hours of the am, and then fell asleep. this morning we got up around 9 and he went back to the 856 (thats hip talk for the camden area of nj... i live in the 508). I bummed around this morning and watched starting over, which i am a big fan of and went into work around 2. I was supposed to go to court, but the court cancelled, so instead i headed into the office.
After work i went to Marshalls with my mom in search of big rubber boots. i am sick and tired of my soes drowning in slushy wet salty puddles in boston and cambridge. so i went to get boots to fix the problem. 4 stores later i found some. yay. so thats my big weekend. its all on video if u really wanna see. everything will be on video from now on. :) i love using my new camcorder!!!! Loves it!!! (in case u dont get the reference, nicole ritchie says it constantly on the simple life, along with "thats hot" and "hi sexy". I have adopted these as my new expressions. Loves it!!)
