Birthday Presents Part II

IF YOU ARE THE FAMILY AND FRIEND WHO GOT MY EMAIL THEN YOU ARE LOOKING FOR THE PREVIOUS ENTRY!

Not too long after my previous post I went on a little shopping spree, where I should have spent the money I have so far gotten (still haven't received cash money/check from Grandma and Nancy, Grandma is usually pretty generous, but Nancy...I know it will be $20.02, 20 for how old I am, and .02ยข because she has to put her two cents worth in, not to be offensive or anything, but Nancy can be kind of a nut sometimes, but that's why we love her) but I wrote a check and at $58.93 it nearly doubled what I've gotten so far, it would have been more but the buses here now give free rides to student with ID (SCORE!).

The mall was a bust, so I high tailed it to Wal-Mart (if anyone reading this is against Wal-Mart then I apologize, but to me it's just a store) where I bought at $34.88...

I believe everyone has (or at least should have) a show which they've never watched during it's first run, then discovers that they were missing something all these years, this one is mine. :')

Now I have the feeling the parents are not gonna like what I'm gonna say next, but I'm the last child therefore they don't care what I do as long as I don't turn out a failure. I wasn't really even looking for this next item, but it was my shopping spree, I'd felt bad if I only got one thing out of it, so at $19.77...

What? I don't own an x-box, seriously.

Subtotal...$54.65, plus tax...$57.93, now you don't have to be good at math to say "Hey, he's a dollar short," and you're probably wondering "what was that extra dollar for"...

So I was thirsty! Wanna make something of it?

Well, apart from the missing birthday money, it looks like this is all I'm getting for now.
Later taders.

Birthday Presents

It all started 8:30 pm Friday night when I got this...

...and mail hours had since been closed for the weekend. My birthday being on a Sunday this year, made this piece of put a real dampener on my weekend.

But I did get a check from my Aunt Vernia (pronounced ver-nuh for those of you who read this and are not related to me) 30 dollars, there's at least some light at the end of the tunnel. My parents came up on the day of my 20th birthday, which coincidentally is the day before their 30th wedding anniversary (I like to think of myself as the defective gift they couldn't return :P), they didn't bring money or gift (hehe....whuh?) but they brought an amusing card and BOUGHT me a new stereo...

...oooh look! My list of campus food court hours!

Come Monday ("it'll be alright", oh sorry I guess I like music more than I thought) I finally got the packages from my Aunt Nancy and my sister Sharon, but no money, Nancy's note said it was mailed separately. But I did get...

...Nancy's so predictable.

And from Sharon...

...YAY! ONE of the things I asked for...but alas, it wasn't one of the copies that had the bonus disc Cast Your Pod to the Wind, oh well.


Oh now, she's just being silly, a game where you are an attorney? Don't get me wrong, I'll play it, I just don't understand why.

Well, I plan to put a new post up soon, but I make no guaranties, and to tell you the truth, there are times I forget I have a blog for which to update. Well, laters.
