Yesterday was my birthday and boy was it smashing....literally. My birthday officially began at 3AM when Jennifer steamrolled me all while singing "Happy Birthday." Haha, I have never been so happy to be awake at that hour in my life. She then went to work and I promptly went back to sleep. :)
After Jennifer got off of work we headed to Wal-Mart to pick up some party supplies. Jennifer was adamant that I couldn't see anything she was getting, so she made me sit in the cart and close my eyes. It was only slightly humiliating. ;) About halfway through our shopping adventure I hear (because my eyes are still closed) a man ask Jennifer how old she is. Then he asks her how old I am. Finally, he proceeded to tell Jennifer and I that carts weren't meant to handle that kind of weight. I was very mature and refrained from asking him if that was some sort of fat joke. I also didn't mention that I have seen shoppers with carts so laden with groceries that a mountain the size of Everest is burgeoning out of it. If that is ok for the cart, certainly little (although maybe I'm not little ;) old me won't hurt it. Jennifer and I thought the whole thing was pretty funny. Some people are just fun-haters.
When we returned from Wal-Mart it was time to eat! One of my favorite things to do. I ate the lunch Jennifer so kindly bought for me and then it was time for cake and ice cream!! But before I could eat the ice cream I had to put on my cowgirl gear. Seeing as how it was made for a 7 year old and not a 23 year old, the belt was modified and made into a thigh holster...which in my opinion is way cooler anyway. Jennifer and Sheralyn put on their deputy badges and the festivities began. :)Of course, my birthday wouldn't be complete without Rory and Lorelai in it, so we sat down and watched a bit of Gilmore Girls while eating our cake and ice cream. Love it!
Later on in the evening, it was off to Texas Roadhouse for some amazing food! My mom and Jennifer were there to enjoy it with me. Birthdays should always come with a little bit of embarrassment, so at the end of the meal, I got to jump in the saddle while everyone sang to me and yelled out a hearty "YEEHAW!" So much fun.
After dinner, the evening wasn't quite finished. We had one more stop to make on the birthday train. Sheralyn and Scott joined Jennifer and I for some cosmic bowling! I don't think we'll mention any of our scores here, but the point is, we had fun! A lot of it. :)
That's me modeling one of the presents I got for my birthday. I love rock climbing!!My 23rd birthday was an absolute blast!! A BIG thanks to Jennifer for making it happen and of course to my amazing mom for buying dinner and my presents. And thanks to everyone who sent me birthday wishes in one form or another. :)
