Sweet Catastrophe

Aside from a handful of phone calls, my Birthday didn’t really start until about 1pm. I had class until then–which was, luckily, relatively painless.

Walking home, I heard JR yelling Birthday wishes out of Andrew’s car. That produced a great smile :)

Once I got home, I opened the vestibule door, and I hear, “Wait Jade!!” and I pretty much had a heart attack since I’d just seen Andrew driving JR to class….I wasn’t expecting anyone to be home! So he made me wait outside and when they finally let me in, I found that he and Keri had decorated for me!

Streamers and balloons!! And they even got my desktop:

So then around 3, Ryan got home and we headed out to get my present. We ended up in GameStop where he pointed to the wall off Wii games and said, “Pick a game.” So I got a freakin Wii!!!! I got the Wii Play bundle that comes with another remote and he bought an extra nunchuck so we’ve got two of each! =)

I GOT A WIIIIII!

I’m okay, I promise. The plan was to go to Tallahassee and hit up Build A Bear and then go to the beach to watch the sunset before making it to dinner to wrap up the evening–but it was pretty much storming so I decided I wanted to stay in town.

So we headed home to set up the Wii and play for a bit when Keri, Andrew and JR came in with my homemade cookie cake!!

[It says "Happy Ghetto B-day Jade"] So they sang and we finally tried out the candles I got that have colored flames–might I mention those are really freakin’ sweet?

After that it was time to eat. Ryan wanted to go to Mori’s….which I basically love, but I made him go with me to try out the new Japanese hibachi restaurant which is pretty much the cheaper version. We had a great dinner :)

Then we stopped by Best Buy to pick up a thing to connect my Wii to the internet, which I later realized I didn’t need so I got my money back (wa-hoo!) And on home to play with the Wii some more!

The rest of the night was pretty much just hanging out with people and checking stuff out on the Wii. I felt really loved all day though!

So thank you to everyone who wished me Happy Birthday! This was honestly one of the best I’ve had in a few years :)

I’m still overly excited about my Wii. I’ve been looking online all over the place for different accessories, so if you’re one of the people I’m exchanging gifts with this year, my wish list will stay updated with the accessories I’m looking for, as well as all the dvds and other stuff.

I talked to my mom and she had been looking at some wholesale fashion jewelry, trying to find some earrings for me, but luckily she didn’t find any she liked so I’m getting cash! Wii accessories here I come =)

I’m currently trying my damnedest to get Guitar Hero III for the Wii. That’s one of the biggest things I want. The cheapest I know of that I can get it is $90, but I just don’t know if I can afford to spend that much on myself right now, so I’m really pushing it on eBay! Wish me luck!
