Shenanigans

Yesterday's birthday was so totally fun. Being 32 is well worth it so far. Here's my freebies:

1) A $25 gift card to Michael's from my boss. Ahhh, she knows me so well. And I know just what I'm going to get there, too (non-scrappers, tune out): a square punch and a circle punch. I want to make symmetrical shapes of patterned paper without having to measure because I am lazy. These punches are a scrapper's dream come true. (And yes, so I must have very boring dreams.)

2) A $50 gift card to Scrapbook Fever from my mom and sister. Oooh, there will be bunches of scrappy loveliness to be had this weekend, for reals. I may be in a paper coma by Saturday evening. Can't wait!!

3) Dinner at a cute little cafe in town. Mom and I were going for Mexican but the dang restaurant closed for a week. Why on my birthday, I ask you? Don't they know this is like a national holiday or something? So we ended up having a better time at the 1 Way Bakery instead. It was so cute in there, I'd swear we were in gay Paree. Except the chicken strips gave it away, I think.

4) Casino money! We hit four places and I got $10 a piece. It so totally rocked because, for once, I actually made money off their freebie. Weeeee! And then I blew it all at the last one. But whatev.

Dear mother, however, kicked slot machine booty. I think she forgot that it was my birthday or something, because ya'll know you aren't supposed to outshine the bride on her big day. Apparently, mommy spits in the face of decorum. I seriously can't take that woman anywhere.

But now it's all over. The birthday fun done left the building. It's back to a normal day of working and bidding for stuff on Ebay. Which doesn't sound all that bad, really, as I've just scored a cool idea book for 99-effen-cents! And now I feel all gooey inside.

Sigh.
