Yes, boys and girls, this is a birthday post. Because yesterday, December 21, the first day of winter, the shortest day of the year, was also my 19th birthday. (Fun fact: 12/21/12, aka the "end of the world" is my 21st birthday... eerie, right?)
Honestly, 19 is really not that big of a deal to me. There's really nothing I can do now that I couldn't do when I was 18 (besides buy cigarettes in Utah... whoo hoo.). I guess there is the perk that I no longer sound like I am literally fresh out of high school. Soo that's good, I guess...
Anyways, I'll just tell you about my day. I got up early enough that I'd be able to curl my hair before I went to town to have lunch with some friends. Unfortunately, after I spent an hour curling my hair, I remembered why I never do it--I hate how my hair looks curled. /: So with 45 minutes left before I had to leave, I had to dunk my head and start all over. Ahh well... I guess that wasn't really relevant. But hey... it's my blog. I do what I want.
Kimberly and I took Missy to town, then went to Mom's work so I could get her car, that way Kimberly and I would both have vehicles. Then I went to the Three Bears in Kanab and met up with my dear good sweet friends Brianna and Carley! (I'm sorry, I had planned to take pictures, but completely spaced it. /: Dang it!) We had a delightful lunch, and Carley was thoughtful enough to give me a pickle for my birthday. What a sweetheart. (: haha
After lunch, I went and visited my dear good sweet friend Jasmine, since she was unable to come to lunch with us. While I was there, she gave me a present! It was "The Invention of Lying", aka one of my favorite movies ever. It is absolutely hysterical. (:
When Mama got off work, Kimberly and I met up with her and we headed off to St. George! Why? To PLAY of course! First stop was Asia Nails to get manicures for all three of us, and I got a manicure and a pedicure. Because it was my birthday.
After we got done with our nails, we headed off to Applebee's for dinner. Kimberly not-so-discreetly told the manager, who was just routinely checking up on his patrons, that it was my birthday today. As a result, I got a team of Applebee's employees chanting their ridiculous Happy Birthday song to me... but I did get a free dessert. So I got over the embarrassment pretty quick. (:
We had some shopping to do at various places, including the mall. We went there, and I got to meet up with my friend Tim that was in St. George at the time. Mom felt bad that I didn't "have anything to unwrap" for my birthday, so she said I could go pick out something for her to buy for me... she was also quick to point out that the offer expired at midnight, so I better get on it. Tim came with me to go shopping while Mom and Kimberly went to a cupcake place to buy me a birthday [cup]cake. When they got back, we all said 'bye to Tim, and us girls went to Spoon Me!
On our way to Spoon Me, Mom handed me a small box and said it was my cupcake. I just smiled at her and held it, intending to open it when we got home and I could put a candle in it. But she looked really bummed, so I went ahead and opened it... and then it was my turn to look bummed. It was coconut. I hate coconut. Then Kimberly, barely able to contain herself, handed me a much bigger box and said "Fine, you can pick from one of these." Fortunately, the bigger box contained 5 more cupcakes that were flavors that I didn't hate. (:
Since we were gone all day yesterday, we decided to have the traditional big birthday dinner tonight, when we could be home, and Dad could be there. I decided that I wanted to have breakfast for dinner, because honestly... who doesn't love breakfast at night? Mommer and Popper arrived today around 5:30, so we got to have them here for brinner as well! We had bacon, eggs, grits, and--my favorite--biscuits and gravy. Balicious. (:
After dinner, we broke out the cupcakes! We put candles in all of them, then I got sang to. Again.
Once I blew out the candles, everyone took their pick of flavor. Mmm. (:
Overall, it was a pretty good birthday. Here's to many more, yeah yeah? (:
