So Year 24 Begins...

.yep.
Today is my birthday!
as of 5:47am today I am 24!
.ew.


This is what I did...
I spent the morning until 3 in my PJs

Watched my The Jane Austen Book Club DVD

Surfed the internet

Watched loads of You Tube videos

Finally showered round 3:30

Curled my hair...

Texted a whole bunch of people to see who was free for dinner

Got dressed

Texted everyone its ok that they had previous plans

Got depressed

Decided to do dinner solo because it would be empowering
(& cause I really liked my outfit)

Drove to Walmart to cash my birthday checks

Answered my phone, talked to best friend Mi Abbia about my dinner plans

Had a break-down in the Walmart parking spot

Drove to Wells Fargo
(because I should have thought of that 1st)

Drove to Asian Cusinse

Ate a delish dinner with Mi Abbia

Walked to the neighboring liquor store with Mi Abbia

Went to Mi Abbia's house

Drank a Mike's Raspberry Margarita /
watched South Park/
cuddled with her orange tabby Stan/
played with her niece Ava

Drove home...
& now I am typing this blog with a glass of wine getting ready to start
City of Ashes

which I was going to take to my solo dinner and start...
It wasn't the best of birthdays.
But I wouldn't trade it because of the great dinner and "after party"

Also, my outfit was really cute
so I am happy I didn't waste it!
boots: Steve Madden $40 on sale
purple tights: Claire's $6
argyle cuff bracelet: Tattered Flower $6.50
grey dress shirt: Rue 21 $5 on sale
earrings: xmas gift from Mum $?
headband: homemade $1+supplies

Back In The Day: A Visit

So my amazing friend {Sarah} tweet/tumblr'd out this article and I had to discuss:

40 Things That Were Popular At The Beginning Of The Decade That Aren’t Popular Anymore

Things From The Beginning Of The Decade That I Miss or Feel Like Talking About

so in the words of Face Punch
"Let's Do This!"



  • 1. Anthrax:
    So what do they mean by "Anthrax" was popular?
    I hope they mean a bad kind of popular.



  • 3. AIM Subprofiles:
    They should amend this article to mean AIM. period.
    I don't think AIM lasted long enough with me to even upgrade to the version that had Subprofiles...



  • 4. Kazaa:
    Ah. I just used Napster. then Limewire.
    then I got smart.



  • 5. Jason Biggs:
    this actually makes me kinda sad.
    he never made a Hottie McHotHot status
    but he's pretty funny.



  • 7. Bandanas:
    Correction: worn for fashion, not workouts and hiking



  • 10. TRL:
    oh sweet Jesus! I loved it back in the day
    (which was a wednesday)
    when they fit in every song at full length
    (or is that just my dreams and untrue?)



  • 13. Hanging A Flag Outside Your House:
    This one makes me sad
    and I am one of the worst American's you'll ever meet.
    Never Forget.



  • 14. Boybands...are hopefully returning:

    or I just find hot Swedish pop stars:

    ps. If you now stalk MÄns, remember where you found him!


  • 18. Rubber Bracelets:
    The next boy I date guy I marry
    will still be wearing his Livestrong bracelet
    (and will have argyle in his closet!)



  • 19. Advertising CDs On TV:
    Correction: CDs. period.


  • 20. Volkswagen Beetles:
    umm, i still see these everywhere
    and i still want one



  • 25. Chat Rooms:
    i do like that BlogTV and UStream have chats on the the side
    (Don't know those site? Goggle it for the links =/)


  • 26. The Dell Guy: 
    Tis a bummer what happened to him
    I used to think he was super cute!
    (He would have made my Hottie McHotHot list)


  • 27. Ties:
    in high school i asked my daddy to teach me how to tie a tie
    he never did =(
    (maybe i'll ask him again over Xmas)

    actually, i don't miss this at all =D


  • 31. Trading Spaces: 
    i can't believe i forgot about this show!

    she was AMAZING!
    the rest of the family they showed looked good too!


  • 36. State Shirts:
    did this guy actually do his homework?
    examples: Snorg & Threadless
    i'd totally take a Texas tee for x-mas!
    (and this and this)
    (and this and this and this and this)


  • 37. Shell Necklaces:
    and hemp are totally still in.
    just ask Kenny Chesney and Jason Mraz!

    *strokes my iPod*
