28. Frighteningly close to 30. Which is inching towards 40. And it actually happened over a week ago. I’m getting slow in my old age. My birthday has come and gone with many fun gifts, surprises, and well-wishes. I actually made out like a bandit!
Thanks to a gift from Liz, I’ve joined the Wii revolution. And I’m not as Wiitarded as I once thought! Wii sports is a blast; it captures the fun of bowling, golf, baseball and tennis without the nuisance of being outside. If they had this when I was in middle school, perhaps Mr. Tyler (our PE teacher) wouldn’t have hated me as much.
I also got a kick-ass digital camcorder from my parents, a ton of gifts from Mom and Dad B and Steven (Justin Timberlake Future Sex/Love Sounds Tour Live from Madison Square Garden DVD, Cubs t-shirt and hat, a WWE book, more Skyline Chili than our cabinets will hold, Singstar 90’s), two new summer outfits from Brent and Ryan, monies from Dave and Leann, and Cranium from Robert and Georgia.
And what good is a birthday without a birthday feast? And feast we did! Liz and I took mom and dad to Brazzaz, another Brazillian Steakhouse with the unlimited meat skewers. I know, we should try some other restaurants once in a while, but I’m just a carnivore at heart! And we topped that off with a chocolate fudge cake that Jody sent via GoCakeGo. It’s essentially an entire birthday party in a box–complete with confetti! After that was gone, we enjoyed signature Funfetti cupcakes with Rainbow Chip icing throughout the remainder of the weekend.
So, another year older, a few pounds heavier, and more gadget-savvy than the 27 years prior, happy birthday to me. Thanks to everyone for such a great birthday.
P.S.- Planning is underway for my 30th birthday party. No details yet, but this is my very own spin on MTV’s My Super Sweet Sixteen!
P.P.S.- Flickr and I are having a fight right now, but pictures to come.
I’ve been waiting for a blog for like 2 weeks. You were on some type of hiatus lol. I can’t wait to come up & play all the new games!
