A Birthday Party

Hey-o! Yesterday was my birthday. It was a faabulous day!

I got up and did school... Opened my card from Meme&Pops... talked to Meme&Pops! Did school and more school. Mom went to the grocery store and then came home and we unloaded stuff and then we went to Tarje and got Icees for lunch (along with leftover quiche!). We had quiche and icees for lunch and watched part of Despicable Me. And thenn I worked on my paper a bit. And then I decorated cupcakes! Here are a few pictures of them:

The caramel colored frosting is peanut butter! Delishussss.

Then people arrived! Sean, Allie, Carrie, Nathan (and Jeff), and Adam came. It was a fun time!
We played Apples To Apples for a while, ate dinner, went to the basement and watched some YouTube videos (haha) and then played Spoons. And then we ate those cupcakes. They were gooooood.
After dessert we went downstairs again and played fooseball and more Apples to Apples. And then people left. It was a funtabulous time overall! Those people are funny. I like them. We should get together more often!

And that was the gist of my day! It was quite fun. And now I'm going to go finish working on my paper.
Hope you're having a lovely Saturday!

Concert-going!

So, last time I blogged was Friday afternoon. After I blogged Meme came! It was so much fun to just sit around and talk for a while!

We ate dinner (quiche) and then Dad and I left for the concert!

We drove around Akron for a bit trying to find a place to park, eventually found a place, and walked about a block to Musica.
We stood in line for about... 25 minutes? Yeah. I think so. Erin came soon after we got there and joined us in line. We talked about the differences between iPhones and Droids. (Erin has an iPhone, Dad has a Droid)
Dad eventually walked through the line and asked around to see if anyone had an extra ticket. He found one! Some girl's sister canceled on her because she felt like she was coming down with strep. So Brandon got Strep-Girl's ticket. Haha.

We got in and stood around. For a long time. Dad and Erin talked for a long time. We looked at merch. I thought about getting a shirt, but they didn't have it in the size I wanted :( I wasn't going to spend $20 on a shirt that didn't fit. Maybe next time... or MAYBE I'll have Anna get me an Owl City t-shirt when she goes to see him this summer...

Anyways. Yes. We stood around. We saw a couple people that we knew, talked to some of them. The show was supposed to start at 8... it didn't start until 8:30ish. Brandon got there about 8:25. HAH. He's such a boy.

It was a FANTASTIC show! Arum Rae from White Dress was AMAZING. Her guitar skillz were awesome and she could whistle very well! haha.

Here are a few pictures from the night so far:

The Venue

Pretty butterflies on the wall

A picture Dad told me to take. "Because it's cool"

DUH. Dance!

The standing-room-only with only a few people.

I thought this was cool. 

Erin&Me before the show started :)

Arum Rae! She was so good!

Guitar skills right there!

Around 9:15 The Civil Wars started playing. They are simply amazing. They have great harmonization and tone-matching. I love them. And Joy Williams is so stinkin' cute! She&John Paul White are so amazing together. Here are my [good] pictures that I took! (A couple of them are screen shots from videos that I liked :)

John Paul tuning before they started

Isn't her smile adorable?

FAVORITE picture that I took all night!

My wrist-band :)

Tweaking his bow-tie

A-DOR-A-BLE

Someone's up to something... :)

So yes. That was my night. Dad and I came home and I went to bed. I'll upload some videos sometime maybe?
We'll see. Maybe if you beg. HA.
That's it for tonight.
Adios!

A Haiku for your enjoyment

Snow in December,
It can be nice, however
Snow in March is not

A Few Pictures

The Van. The snow was DEEP.

The garage. 

After shoveling a little.

The sidewalk after being shoveled

Dad. He was cooovered in snow!

The mailbox.

Back of the van.

The steps AFTER I had shoveled them once. So much snow!

The glider.

The table. Crazy amounts of snow in about 6 hours!

SO yes. We've had a lot of snow. I wonder if there'll still be school tomorrow. It only semi-affects me. Depends whether we have Urban Vision or not. My last in-car got rescheduled for Thursday... soooo yes.
The weekend was good. Minus the snow starting.
Anything you want to hear about?
Chuck was good tonight. Always is! :)
Mom&Dad are watching All In The Family. It's pretty funny!
I think I'm going to go to bed.
Ha.
G'night!

How's THIS...

for cold?

My New Improved Room

I kind of reorganized/redid/vamped up/cleaned my room last night and this afternoon, and I mentioned it in my last post, so I thought I'd put some pictures up!

My bed, which is now a cocoon! (I have yet to sleep in it... I'll let y'all know how it goes.)

My CLEAN desk! (And sweet lamp.)
If you look closely in the top right hand corner of this picture,
you can see Katie's Princess Bride picture! :)

My not so clean on-top-of-storage area

Clean (for the most part) dresser/make-up-application area

In my mirror! Which needs to be cleaned and covered in new quotes. 

Yup! I think I'll work on my GACH 3 post now... that I've been meaning to work on for forever! 

Yay for free evenings!
