Birthday Blast

Yeehaw I'm 23 years old!!! My birthday was this last thursday {March the 15th}.  It wasn't quite what I expected...in fact not what I had expected at all.
A few weeks prior, I submitted a "time off request" at work.  I figured that I might as well ask for MY BIRTHDAY off since thursday are pretty busy and we might want to go out that night.  Well, the schedule come out and I DON'T HAVE IT OFF!!! {what the heck!?} I quickly point this out to my manager {who's fault it is}, while he is trying to figure out what happened, I notice that I have an opening shift that day {ok, I might as well work that morning...} I tell him to forget about it.
A week later I get a phone call from College of Southern Idaho {CSI, Hygiene Program that I am applying to} and they want to interview...on MY BIRTHDAY! {oh shoot}  Fortunately I was able to get my manager to let me leave work early {since it was his fault}.  So this is how my day went

6:00 am - 11:00 am = work
11:15am = get ready for interview
12:00pm-2:50pm = drive to Twin Falls Idaho
3:20pm-4:20pm = Interview
4:30pm- 7:30pm=drive Home
8:00pm =meet up with the Hubby for some dinner

So for MY BIRTHDAY James got me the shoes I've been wanting for forever! So since I was driving all day {and hadn't planned on stopping for shopping and dinner} I was just wearing leggings {scandalous} and slippers and a Boise State sweatshirt.  I had asked James to bring me some jeans and shoes, BUT he forgot! {seriously...kill me}  I was so tired and now embarrassed by what I was wearing and growing slightly grumpy...I just picked the closest restaurant that I wouldn't be totally mortified wearing this outfit at.  RED ROBIN {delicious yes...what I really wanted?...not really}  But it was awesome non the less!  We then stayed up a little later and James told me he was willing to watch TWILIGHT: BREAKING DAWN part 1...{I'm in shock right now...} so I took him up on it.  I had to do it while I could.  He is such a good sport.  He really made my Birthday special.  It was a long day but had an enjoyable evening with my husband!

Here they are...my new shoes! Yay!

Slightly Obsessed

The Hunger Games.  Enough said.

A year ago I dove into these books and got lost in the greatness.  These books changed me {ok ok I might be getting a LITTLE dramatic...}.  But something about this story gets to me.  After I read a series, I usually take a few days to let it all sink in and just ponder the story I just read.  It's almost like I have to say to my self, "You know what...I like that story.  And I like the ending".  Well The Hunger Games took a little more than a few days, it was more like a few weeks!  Don't get me wrong.  I LOVE this series. But a few things bother me.  In the end, she {Katniss} ended up with who I wanted {yay yay yay, for those who haven't read it, I'm not telling you who it is!} it just didn't end how I had wanted {it was realistic so I can't really complain! But the little girl inside me is always looking for an overly happy and cheesy ending}  Anyways,  a year later, I've once again finished the series {In just a matter of days} and can't seem to get it off my mind again.   Back to square one!  And now I'm just waiting for the movie to come out. {One more week!} I've been watching all of the trailers and reading about the actors and all that jazz.  I won't be seeing the midnight premier because I'm too old {I don't mean this maturity wise, but because I literally can't stay up past midnight, and I would definitely fall asleep} But I am so so so excited!  These books definitely go down as one of my favorites!  For those who are among the first to ever see it, enjoy! May the odds be ever in your favor in finding a good seat!
