Today's my birthday!!!! Okay, so I'm kinda late, but I've been busy all day. I actually got up early (I have no idea how) and I went out shopping with mom. She bought me a pair of shoes that are just like an old pair I had a few years ago that I absolutely loved. It was actually pretty funny. We went to Northland Mall to do some other shopping and I saw a pair of shoes I liked (not the ones I got). I tried them in a size 11, but they seemed big, so we got them to see if any other stores had a 10. Market Mall did, so we went over there to try them on. The 10s were too small, but I found another pair that I liked (the ones I got). I decided that the 11s might actually not be that big, since now that I had been walking around a lot my feet had swollen, which is what it would be like most days I'd be wearing them. So we went back to Northland. I tried on the 11s and sure enough they fit. But I decided that they really weren't all that comfortable, so I didn't get them. So, after all that, I just got the other shoes, not the original ones I looked at.
After that we went home and I caught up on email and answered everyone on the Nurtisystem forums who wished me happy birthday. I also met the girl who's going to be living in the basement. Her name's Allison too. She's in forensic nursing, which sounds pretty cool.
Then we went out for dinner with Dad and Grandma. It was great. I totally blew my diet and had fried cheesecake. So worth it.
In terms of presents, it was great. Mom got me season 1 of Heroes and season 1 of Dexter. Now I legally have them! And I can watch all the extras! Grandma got me a straightening iron so that I can actually do my hair properly. I tried to spike it out today, but it didn't work so well. Tomorrow I'm going to try again with the iron. Dad got me a Nintendo DS!!!!! It's so cool! It came with that Brain Age game that's supposed to make you smarter, so it's educational too. And, I just found out that I can use it to play GameBoy Advance games too. I'm so going to get Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories. Now I just have to find it.
All in all, it was a great birthday. Tomorrow I'm going to a friends house to finish watching 10th Kingdom (yay Wolf!) so I'll have to see if I can pull myself away from the DS. I think I've found a new addiction.
Oh, and I have new glasses and a new haircut. There's a picture here.
