And the birthday week draws to a close...
I had a truly fantastic birthday week, you guys.
My parents are divorced, so there's always at least 2 separate days of festivities, but this year I lucked out and got 5 separate days of fun!
It started last Saturday. My sister made lunch for herself, my dad, his wife, and me. My sister, brother-in-law, and brother got me this fantastic giant glass candle holder thing that goes perfectly with my bedding. I love it. My dad and stepmom totally surprised me with an X-Box 360 Elite and Guitar Hero 3. I had absolutely no idea they were going to do something so crazy.
On Tuesday, the actual day of birth, I went out to dinner with![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
clementine21 and her husband, lallybroch and her mister, and everlastingwhy. We had delicious Thai food and after we stuffed ourselves, everyone but everlastingwhy decided to go see Underworld: Rise of the Lycans. It was just as terrible and fantastic as you'd think.
(I was also informed that my very first X-Box purchase had to be Left 4 Dead because, "It's zombies, Leah! ZOMBIES.")
On Thursday, Mom treated me to Indian food and got me all new jewelry making tools. Yay!
Saturday night,leighblack, seimaisin, doll_revolution, and rue_quercus gathered at Majors for what we thought would be a low-key, pre-Superbowl dinner. Instead, we all paid $5 for the pleasure of watching the UFC PPV event.
The Octagon. Because four sides can't contain it.
Anyhoo. After that, we hit Drcula's for midnight bowling and had a raucous good time. Mostly mocking the super trashy (and super trashed) bridal party next to us. I had an awesome time, but I should have stretched out or something because bowling 3 games after not bowling for over a year apparently equals at least two days of a jacked up back for me.
I'm sort of immobile and old today. :-p
I have one more birthday function left - meeting up with my best friend from high school; but we need to schedule that still.
