The Birthday that Never Got Blogged

*Update: My dad sent me pictures from Joe's Crab Shack. Click here to see me as an irritated seagull. :)

I worked really hard today and almost finished the Recreation Program Awards packet. Whew! Just a few numbers to look up and a synopsis to write and it will be done! So I thought I would blog about my b-day that was on 20 May. Sadly, it was my last birthday ever. That's right, I turned the big 2-9.

We were down on the Island with my family on the day of my birthday. Since it was my last birthday, and I am officially an adult now, I did what any reasonable minded adult would do. I blew some money on an expensive name-brand purse! Check it out here. It makes me giddy! I ordered it online and had it delivered to the condo. Then we went to Corpus Christi for the day. Daddy bought me a new "grown-up" MP3 player and then we had lunch at Joe's Crab Shack. They made me act like a seagull. I think my mom has pics. I didn't even get free desert! But it was still awesome seafood! Yes, even being on the island, Joe's is still an excellent choice. That's saying a lot for a franchise. Then it was a trip to JoAnn's fabric and a stop over at Krispy Kreme donuts! The last fling of the night was a midnight run to WalMart to pick up the Wii Fit. (They went on sale at 12:01 May 21st.)
Celebrating with my family was way cool. I think the last time I celebrated my birthday with them was in 2004. But I totally missed Rob. :( That's why getting his poem was so awesome!
When I got back to Germany I had a little box waiting for me on my desk. Adie gave me one of her special jewelry creations! This one is gorgeous! I want to wear green every day so I can wear it! It's green pearls, green bicone Swarovski crystals and little gold spacer beads. It's SO pretty! So here's a picture. You should be able to click to enlarge it. Thanks everyone for a fun b-day! Next year (29 part II) we'll all go out for Greek. Yum!

  3. I've never heard of Snoopy's but we ate at this really great place called Moby Dick's. We made fun of them because they had a big shark out front! We were like, didn't they read the book? But they did have a whale as their logo! :)
