Is it Friday yet?

I'm not used to working Monday and Tuesday but I did this week and it seems like Friday is taking forever to get here. It is nice because I got to catch up on some work that I got a little behind on since I was out sick a couple days last week.. Also needless to mention, more $$!!!!

I am so excited for this weekend tho which makes the waiting for Friday so hard! Memorial Day Weekend is always so exciting to me... I consider it to be the start of summer! This is usually the first weekend where we spend the whole weekend out at camp, BBQing and having HUGE bonfires every night! This year, like last year, I will be spending Saturday afternoon at my friend's mom's party and then head out to my camp that night. We don't have an actual camp on the property at this point because we are rebuilding, but it is on the lake and it is just my favorite place in the world! It is a relaxing spot, a party spot and just a chill spot... I couldn't ask for more! (Well, maybe a toilet.. Haha!) I always take tons of pictures too to help me remember the weekend.. Sometimes it gets a little hazy! Anyways, check back next week for a few of the fun pics!

For now, I am going to be... That way, tomorrow comes all that sooner and so does Friday! Atleast that is what my parents used to tell me about Christmas!

Happy Memorial Day Weekend Everyone.. Enjoy, be safe and remember all the men and women who risked and gave their lives for our country.

Happy Birthday to ME!

Today is my official birthday but the celebration started on Thursday after work when my mom and I went and bought my birthday present from my parents.. A new camera! I love it! I've always gotten Kodak but this is a Samsung... It has so many awesome features, some that I will probably not even use! Oh and did I mention that it is RED! Look how pretty... An you can kinda see some of the features:

So my mom and I get the camera and I said that I wanted to go and look at what they have for cell phones, even though I wasn't ready for an upgrade until July... I just wanted to see what they had. I found this phone that I loved and I even said, "That's the one I am going to get in July!" What happens the next morning at work? I broke my old one.. I had it in my back pocket, which had a button on it and the button went right through the front display. Even though I wanted an upgrade, I didn't want it to happen that way.. I loved my old phone :( So anyways, after work that day, I headed back to Best Buy and got my new phone! The phone was FREE and the upgrade cost was only $18. I am so excited! So now let me show you pics of my new phone.. the LG Shine!

I love new gadgets, so you can just imagine, this was an awesome birthday for me! Not to mention, Saturday night, I grabbed some food and drinks with some friends and then I spent the day with the family yesterday :) I got hugs and kisses and "happy birthdays" from my six nieces and nephews and we all reminisced by watching my sister's wedding video.. It will be 10 years on the 22nd! I was only 14! Also, to continue on with my birthday celebration, I am having dinner and getting ice cream with two very close friends tonight :)

I couldn't ask for anything more for my birthday!

Oh and how could I forget.. My man, Justin Timberlake, even gave me a present... He hosted SNL this weekend!! As always, he was hysterical! Below are his skits from this weekend's show:

Monologue


Target


Barry Gibb Talk Show


Plasticville


Immigrant Tale


Digital Short: Mother Lover



And I decided to do a birthday survey:

How many birthdays have you celebrated so far?
24

When is your next one coming up?
TODAY or a year from today.. Whichever you prefer.

If you could get anything, realisticly speaking, what would you ask for?
I got everything I want!

If you could ask for something magic or like superpowers, which kind?
I wouldn't mind being able to fly.. Or maybe read boys' minds ;-)

Who do you want to be with during your birthdays?
Chillaxing with the family and my friends

How do you plan to celebrate your upcoming birthday?
Just what I said above!

What was the worst present you ever got on a birthday?
Just having it be a sad day..

What was the worst birthday fiasco you ever had?
Going to the Dr. and finding out I had poison ivy.. 7th grade and the day of my birthday party.. UGH!

Did you ever purposely give someone a crappy gift?
Gag gift, yes.. Crappy gift, no!

Who would you never ever ever want to attend your birthday?
Haha.. I have a few people on that list!

What was the best birthday present you've ever recieved?
Being asked to be my oldest nephew's godmother!

What was the best birthday you've ever had?
My 17th b-day

Why was it so great?
Because I was asked to be my oldest nephew's godmother

What is your fave birthday activity, even if you havent done it (yet)?
Going out to camp and celebrating out there with my family and friends.. That is, if it's warm enough! It wasn't this year :(

Who would you love to come to your birthday to celebrate with you?
Hello... Justin (Timberlake, of course)!!!! Didn't even have to think about that one!

What did your family do to celebrate your birth?
This year or the year I was born? I was born the day of my sister's first communion, so that was a busy day to begin with and this year we went out to my sister's to celebrate both Mother's Day and my b-day!

What did, will happen for your sweet 16th birthday?
I don't even remember my sweet 16th really.. I don't think it was that big a deal for me.

What did, will happen for your 21st birthday?
Had dinner and drinks with my sisters and friends... Got some cuties to buy me some drinks ;)

Would you be okay with dying on your birthday?
That's kind of morbid!

Pick someone you really really love:
I can only pick one?... Gotta give it to my mom then.. She has always been there for me no matter what!

What would you get them for their birthday if you could give them anything?
Umm... Maybe pay to rebuild the camp

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME :)

Happy Mother's Day and Remembering Loved Ones Passed

We watched my sister's wedding video today when we went out to her house to celebrate my b-day and Mother's Day. Such a great day.. The kids were so sweet and funny and just so lovable. It was both happy and sad watching the wedding though.. There are 3 very close family members that have passed away that we got to see again on the video. One of them gone exactly a year yesterday. And some that we all wish were there.

You'll live on in our memories forever!
