Another year older

Yep another birthday has come and gone....

This was a pretty low key birthday, which was fitting since graduation was just a month ago and that was not low key in any way!!

On Thursday I went with Kristin Hood to see No Doubt. Kylie was supposed to go with her but she decided to be a weenie and not go, so Kristin asked me if I wanted to go. SCORE!! Here we are waiting for the show to start.




It was a little boring waiting, so I took a picture of my shoes, isn't that what you are supposed to do while waiting for a concert? We also did a lot of people watching. Concerts are the best place to people watch.




The concert was great, I want Abs like Gwen, serious envy for those abs.




The only bad part was the tree trunk of a man I got stuck standing right behind. he was a 6'6" was that just stood there recording the whole concert on his phone, it was kinda creepy, and the guy next to him just stood there, never clapping, cheering or even slightly swaying to the music.





There was 2 opening acts, the Sounds and Paramore. Paramore was fantastic, the sounds had a couple of good songs but the lead singers profuse use of the *F* word was a turn off and her grinding up against her band mates just seemed out of place at this concert.



All in all great concert. So glad Kristin thought to ask me if I wanted to go with her.

Oh here we are in the green lights, guess a good concert changes your skin color after a while.



Friday came and I was beat but I got a little pick me up when this arrived for me at work from my friend Missy.




Saturday I didn't do much, I did go get my new driver's license picture taken, I know I live the glamorous life don't I? After that I came home amd loaded up my car with a full load for the good will, you would never know I got rid of anything looking around but it was a good start to cleaning things out. After that I let mom talk me into going to the mall, and then we went out to dinner at the Diner.

Today, my actual birthday, I went to church, came home and took a nap, I l;ove my Sunday naps, and then headed over to my grand mother's house. Then it was off to dinner with her and my mom. I have eaten too much this weekend and I am feeling it!!

As for presents I got this adorable purse from my mom and Grover and the rest was cold hard cash, since I am saving for a couple things and I got so many goodies for graduation I really didn't know what I wanted.

Happy Birthday Nugget

Ryan is 26 today so of course that means yet another celebration for the week. The beginning of July is a crazy month as far as birthdays and stuff are concerned... The day started out a little slow. Jamie and Jeff got back from New York this morning and Jamie and Aunt Lois came over to finish getting Ryan's gifts ready while Jeff and Ryan went to the store to get the stuff Jeff needed to make his baked Mac and cheese. Jamie took this time to hand out our purses she got in NY. I love mine....

Once they all arrived everyone but Ryan headed to the mall for shopping. Yes we went shopping on Nugget's B-Day. Now anyone that knows Ryan knows Shopping is a swear word to the guy which is why he opted to stay home while we went over to check out what was happening at the Macy's that is going out of business and has everything 30% off. I got a couple of shirts and pairs of pants. Jamie and Jeff both got a shirt.

When we got back to the house MomMom and Ryan were deep in a game of Skipbo and they took a break long enough for Ryan to open his gifts,which consisted of a lot of shirts and a sweater he doesn't like but I think he looks really good in. MomMom got her presents from Jamie and Jeff since they were not here yesterday, and then Jamie and Jeff got a gag gift of paper products for their first anniversary.

After the presents there was a brief game of Wiffle ball where second base was a pile of poo left behind by the neighbors dog. Then it was time for Dinner. We grilled burgers and hot dogs. We also finally managed to get a family picture taken by using the tripod. Not an easy task with this group to get everyone to cooperate for the picture.

After Dinner Jamie, Jeff, Ryan, Aunt Lois and MomMom went to see the world war II memorial where poppy's plaque is. Mom and I stayed behind so we didn't have to take 2 cars. Once they got back we had Ryan's Birthday cake which was a dairy queen cake that he wanted.

Then we set off our own fireworks finally. That was fun. Sadly the end of the day meant saying goodbye to everyone since thy all head home tomorrow. I will get to say goodbye to Nugget though tomorrow when I drop him off at the airport at like 5:30am.

Another Birthday celebration

MomMom turned 82 on Saturday July 7th 2007. Jamie and Jeff were in New York but we still had a litle celebration for MomMom and of course there was more presents. The day was pretty low key which was fine for me. I was feeling pretty run down and tired. After presents there was another trip to the mall, to get Ryan's glasses fixed, but luckily Ryan was spared from more shopping and we stayed home with the dogs. Poor Ryan might have gone into convulsions if there was more shopping that had to be done.
MomMom got some nice gifts and seemed to enjoy her birthday. Both Mom and Ryan payed Skipbo with her, which seems to be her favortite card game.
