33rd birthday

Not as crazy as Megalina's but the birthday festivities were still fun. My day was started out with staff and students wishing me a happy birthday, and five renditions of the ever-lovely birthday song from each of my classes. After school, I was taken out to dinner (thanks Katie)! My friends Lisa (co-b-day celebrator: 2/28), Tara and Diane, and my sister Katie (mom was a no-show due to stomach flu) went to the ever fun and slightly pricey Melting Pot to ring in my newest year. We ordered fondue galore and enjoyed an evening without the men-folk. I couldn't have asked for a nicer way to celebrate the 27th.




After dinner, Katie, Tara and I headed back to the apartment for a video and present opening. Tara gave me some gloves (apparently there is more to come), and Katie, Cara and Tony got me a yarn winder and umbrella. (The picture is me winding my first ball of yarn with it). I couldn't have been happier. Cara, Tony, Dad, and Patty also sent me some lovely flowers. A little embarrassing to carry through the Freeman halls, by the way.


Mom, Katie and I went to breakfast after our Saturday morning weigh in. Shockingly, I only gained two pounds after our Melting Pot pig-out. Mom knitted me a beautiful pair of socks (Harry Potter Horcrux design). All in all, an amazing weekend of birthday fun!
