Thanks Everyone!

Ahh, Seventeen. In honor of my birthday today, I've added two songs to the top of my playlist: Seventeen Ain't so Sweet by Red Jumpsuit Apparatus, and Seventeen Forever by MetroStation. My last year of Childhood Innocence; one more year of getting away with stuff because I'm not a legal adult; one more year of city curfew; one more year of high school; one more year. That's all I have left.
I must admit, however, that this was one of the best birthdays I've had in a long time. I was with my family for most of it, no one was rushed into emergency foot surgery *coughcough GARRETT coughcough*, I absolutely LOVED my presents, and they were WAY more than expected, People called and texted and facebooked me all over wishing me a happy birthday, from family, to friends, to those awesome buddies in other states that I've met through other people and have become awesome friends with even though I've never met them in person. Even the girls at work took me out to lunch and got FATTY costco cupcakes and lunch with the office at Rosa's Cafe.
So my AWESOME day, just a runthrough so I can remember it all.
Woke up SUPER early because of blasted leg cramps, after a pretty trippy dream based on the book I've been reading. I read a bit, came downstairs and mom made me an awesome breakfast. After getting from work, dad came HOME from work early, so I opened presents. THE BEST birthday presents I've gotten in a LONG time. A REALLY nice Casio Exilim with 10.1 Megapixels AND a BS button! (That's Best Shot for those of you sniggering alongside me). I also got tickets to the BODY WORLD exhibit! SO excited to go on Wednesday.
After work, mom and Bailee and I went to Olive Garden, then home to have cake with some friends. The Robertson's gave me a gift card to Barnes & Noble, which was promptly spent on a new journal for my 17th year. Brianne gave me my own copy of Forever Strong, one of my favorite new movies! Once Home I tallied everything up. 20 facebook notifications, 12 text messages, and 1 day of pure amazing.
BIG thanks to EVERYONE who made my birthday special.
Now I get to wait for the lasting add ins to my birthday: Brianne's Kidnapping of Me thursday/friday, Body Worlds on Wednesday, Working Windows and Car Radio (Same Day), and a bit of pool action Saturday!
