i think i am sick:( my throat is on FIRE...seriously. you know when it hurts to swallow? i have that. and you know when you feel achy all over? i have that too. i have been taking tons of everything to make sure this thing is gone in no time. i am going to florida on tuesday and i most definitely cannot be ill.

was my birthday and it was such a nice day:) i spent it with my siblings(minus one) and a few friends at disneyland. it was a long day but i really enjoyed it. the rides were neat, the food was actually good, i didn't get sick, and i didn't burn...i left with a bit of a headache but who cares...no sunburn:)...thank you spf 50 sunscreen. anywho, joe, laura, and i get stuck on small world...that was the most intense part of the day...ahaha:) on a normal day, i really like that ride BUT when you have to listen to it's a small world over and over and over again for 30 minutes or so...well, i think you get the idea.

sunday nights at the park...

janell and i...we missed robishka.
kim and i


are so amazing. this past sunday night i along with a number of very lovely friends took a trip to the park for some good old fashioned birthday fun:) we played boardgames and ate and played croquet which is perhaps one of my favorite outdoor activities of all time. i made cupcakes and made fun little button toppers for them...i don't have a photo and i am to lazy to get it off my camera so you will just have to use your imagination. anywho, it was such a fun way to celebrate. i was not sure if anyone would come but they did and it really made my night.

monday madness!

zack and his juice.
and me laughing at who knows what.


ok, i know, three posts in one day...and one more on the way:) it has seriously been the busiest birthday week of my life. today was my first break since sunday so i am a bit tired...i am really looking forward to going to bed in just a bit. anywho, monday my good friend zack took me to breakfast because he knew he would not see me on my birthday. it was real nice and we had a real nice time:) we went to this neat little diner in claremont. the meal consisted of: a veggie omlet, a huge waffle with strawberries and syrup, oj, and potatoes...yum! he gave me an AMAZING gift but you will have to read the next post for that. anywho, we had breakfast, went to the record store, and after we took a trip to victoria gardens where i found....absolutely nothing:) but i didn't really care. it worked out because instead of spending my birthday giftcards on things i did not want or need i did something super with the gift cards i received today.

wow!

ok, so remember my wish list from earlier??? i don't know how, but i pretty much got some of the way neater things for my birthday! see the following:

stella is her name because after i cleaned her, she was so lovely and bright:)
remember how i wrote about the neat zack gift? this is it. neat, huh?
these were just a bonus:)
saw them on april 23rd...amazing.
ordered this with a urban gift card today:)
ordered this with my b and n gift card today:)

bonus:
used the rest of my gift card $ on this:
vinyl.

the thing is, i am more excited about having had the opportunity to see everyone these past few days... the gifts(very amazingly neat ones) can't really compete with the people time i have had and it will only be getting better. saturday should be nice:)
i am so blessed.
thank you.
