so yesterday was my 17th birthday, and it was amazing! the day started off normal, with me waking up before sunrise, but i took angel food cake w/ strawberries and whipped cream to swim practice for the whole team (sorry i talk about swimming so dam much. its just all i really have going on these days.). it was my coach's b-day too, so i took candles and everything!

then i went home and washed my car (that part of the day sucked), and then i went out to lunch with my mom and step dad. my mom took the day off work from noon on so that she could be with me! she took me to get a massage, which was incredible! i always end up massaging other people so i guess it was my mom's way of evening the score.

after that we went to the mall to shop for purses. the only purse in the entire mall that i liked was like $85! it was rediculously priced, but i loved it and it was 40% off (still WAY too expensive!). so i was joking around w/ my mom, begging her for the dumb thing even though i knew there was no way in h3ll i was gonna get it. that and i really just felt like being a brat (she knew i was kidding though)! lol.

we went to costco afterwards and she bought me pink, yellow, white, and orange-y colored roses and a cheesecake for my party w/ the fam at red robbin. so then i dropped her off to pick up her work car and went to fill up my gas tank. i was very surprised when my mom wasn't home by the time i got there. turns out she went to buy me that purse i wanted (i still can't stop thanking her for it and telling her she didn't have to get it)!

at 6:30 we met the fam at red robbin for dinner, and it was really fun! but of course, my aunt had to embarass me in front of a really attractive waiter, but that's another story, lol. oh and then she (my aunt) made faces at me from across the table cuz she was making fun of the lustful looks my grandma was giving her new husband (those darn newlyweds!). it was hilarious.

so i got the purse, i got roses, i got massaged, and i got butt loads of money cuz nobody knew what to get me. all in all it was prolly the best b-day i've ever had. it kinda made up for my lack of b-day last year!
