Happy Birthday/Merry Christmas to me

Ok, now it's calm, and I can think clearly about all that I need to update.

First.. BNL. The concert was in Raleigh, at the Longbranch "Entertainment Complex" as Ticketmaster put it. It was a country bar/club. HAH. Pretty big, but still, no seating, just standing around like cattle. Then, Ticketmaster told me the show was at 8.. so we got there at about 7:15 and the line was already around the building. Crazy. So, come to find out, the doors opened at 8, show was at 10! Ahh. So, we stood around for 2 hours, so we wouldn't lose our god viewing spot. had a few drinks, danced a tad. And, me being the intelligent person that I am.. I wore my new HUGELY tall boots, and my feet were killing me all night. I took them off a few times, but then I couldn't see. By the end of the night, I was hobbling around. Never again. The show was good, of course. Could BNL not be good? I don't think so. We had fun shopping before hand too.. I finally found another Mistletoe Yankee candle!! And I got 2 cute Disney Store shirts.. one with Timone & Pumba saying "Hakuna Matata" and a Stitch one (from Lilo and Stitch). Too cute. I didn't get home from dropping Lauren & Becca off until about 2:30, and then I was awake till about 4, cuz my feet and legs hurt from standing in those damn shoes!! The price we pay for fashion!! AHH.

Saturday I got my tired butt out of bed at 9 to go to the gym so we could leave to go to Greensboro to see Hailey K Jacob at 11. Man, I was a walking zombie all day. But, we had fun chillin' with the Jacob family for a couple hours. Hailey is so big!! I can't believe it.

Sunday was back to Raleigh to pick up Alice the bunny. We stopped in Gibsonville/Elon to have dinner with Tucker & Don, which was too fun. We ate at this little italian place, and stuffed our faces. It's going to be a miracle if I can make it through this break without gaining any weight, with all the crap I've been eating!! My mom seriously needs to quit baking! ANYWAY. So then Tucker, Lauren & I drove the rest of the way to Raleigh, got there jsut as Alice was coming to baggage claim, got her bags and were on our way. We stopped at Applebees so Alice could get some food, and we had nummy blue drinks. =) Then we hung out at Tuckers looking at wedding photos for about an hour. Fun times.

David called me on teh way home from Tucker's, at about 12:05 to be the first to wish me happy birthday on my actual birthday. Cute. He's trying very hard, I must say, to be a good friend. He made a comment about that, saying he's lucky to have me, since he doesn't have a lot of other friends that he's kept up with. I honestly think that's all it is, I do not think there are any ulterior motives. Then later, once I got home, I ended up talking to him online till almost 4am. I swear, he's going to help me develop my counseling skills more than practicum classes!! I should charge him! It's always something. But, I've been whipping out my stuff I've learned in class and asking him all these thought provoking questions, it's great. ;-) Sucks for him to be having all these issues, but it's great for me. hahah.

Monday, my actual birthday, was very quiet. I slept till about noon, and when I got up no one was home!! My mom & gma had gone out shopping, and dad was of course at work. So, I putzed around and then went to the gym for a nice workout. My sister Kathy brought me over a present mid afternoon (a cute litle pewter alarm clock that ticks!) and then my mom & I went to Millicans to take them their presents (the babysitting peoples). I got a $30 American Eagle gift card AND a bunch of bath & Body works stuff.. rock on!! I was impressed. Then, we went out to dinner, at AppleBees again. Fun times. Lauren & Alice came over around 8:30 to decorate cake, how sad. It was only the 3 of us. Zack was around, but he was too tired from working overtime to come. =( We called KM while we were doing the cake and she sang to me too, so that was cool. It's so sad that we're so spread out. BUT, have no fear, we'll all be in Baltimore/York soon enough. Maybe we can make another cake and do it there! ;-) Of course, Amy still won't be there, and her singing is the best part. OH! Presents. I got Season1 of ER dvd set, Finding Nemo, Old Navy pants, and an assortment of Ralph Lauren Blue stuff (perfume, lotion and shower gel). Faboo!! That's a load of loot! I've watched about 4 ERs already. That's more draining than going through a season of Friends, lol. :o)

Then, as I said before, today was Christmas with the Charlotte and Kernersville families. It was CRAZY. The kids tore into the presents and were trying to open ones that weren't theirs. I finally had to be the present police. Oh my goodness. I must be old, all the loudness and crazyness was getting to me. But, it was cool to have little kids around, with all their excitement. Aww. I got a really cool set of "t-shirt" jersey sheets (they've got pink and orange flowers on them), a couple of CD's (Michelle Branch & Josh Kelley), a super powered dirt devil little mini vaccuum, and Trivial Pursuit 20th Century. I can't wait to play it!! One more thing to take to Baltimore. I'm taking my huge monster suitcase.. for 3 days, man, I tell ya.

I do believe that is all for now.. I'm sure I've left out something important, but it'll get posted eventually. OH. I called Justin back tonight.. nothing spectacular happened. We talked for about 40 mins, as usual. So, who knows. I certainly don't, and I don't really care to worry about it. Maybe that'll make things "easier" between us, so whatever is meant to happen will, ya know? Kinda like if you decide you don't like someone, they like you more?! I dunno.

Ok, to bed. I'm exhausted.
