another year wiser....

...and I feel the exact same.

Are you supposed to feel different after your birthday?  I've never understood why people ask "How do you feel now that you're older?"  Uhhh.... like I did last year?  I just don't get it.  Whatev.

Regardless, I had a great weekend!!  Friday night I was able to relax and get to bed a little early which was desperately needed.  Then Saturday, the festivities began!!  At 9:00 in the morning my Gma Riegsecker called and asked if she could take me out for a birthday breakfast!!  So... I trekked out into the bright sunshine and made it to Essenhaus.  It. Was. Delish!  It's been awhile since I had Essenhaus breakfast!

Next, I made a Target run ((with a much needed gift card from the very same Gma!!)) and got some goodies.

After leaving Target I happened to come across some yumminess.  I was uber excited and just couldn't help myself so I stopped and got some:

There's nothing like the first port-a-pit of the year :D  It was the perfect birthday present...

N E Wayz.... I continued my drive on home, slept for another 3 hours, then woke myself up and got ready for the evening.

Saturday night I went out with Alex and Melissa... my 2 besties.  :)  We went to Chili's, had a few drinks, ate way too much, and pretty much decided we were too old for this "partying."  So, we opted out of the bowling, tping, and various other crazy ideas that we had and went back to my house early.  We played a few songs on Guitar Hero ((Don't worry... I still rock the house)).  Then we decided to watch the movie they got me for my birthday - Grown Ups.  Yup.. pretty sure 20 minutes into the movie and we were all falling asleep.  So, we had a slumber party in my room.  It was pretty much awesome... even if we are too old.  :)

Sunday was spent relaxing.  Alex attempted to make breakfast for us.  If it wasn't for the fact that I haven't gone grocery shopping in a long time, he probably would have succeeded.  So... we ended up not eating breakfast.  We went to church, late lunch, I went and met the people I'm house/dog-sitting for over Spring Break, then Alex and I went out to Mishawaka and roamed around.  I got me some more flippy floppys.  We got Alex some new kicks as well.  It was a successful trip.

We ended the day by watching Secret Millionaire.  I definitely almost tear up every time.  BTW - the guy on this latest episode was awesome.  I love how he gave so much to each organization PLUS a lot of extra things for individuals.  I liked him more than the big-boobed chick from 2 weeks ago....

Anywayz... ((that's a "z" folks... that means you gotta have the "zzzzz" sound with it...)) I had a great birthday weekend.  My plans didn't turn out quite like I wanted them to since everyone else seemed to be either out of town or sick, but I still made the most of my weekend and enjoyed every second of it!

Thank you to everyone who bid me well wishes... it means a lot!!

Until next time... HAPPY MONDAY!!
