Birthday Recap

what?! tornados aren't allowed on your birthday!

Apparently East Tennessee did not get that memo and decided to invite one in yesterday. Lets just say having the power go out from 6 until 7 when your dinner plans start at 630 and you have a movie date 730 is no good. But, lets start back at the beginning. My wonderful mother picked me up to go tennis shoe shopping (because I was in desperate need of a new pair, and thats what I asked for). I picked up a pair of asics, since they came so highly recommended by all you lovely gals they looked a little something like this:

I love them and I can not wait to try them out. Maybe today?!

Also, I think my college knew it was my birthday as well, because they decided to send me a little present in the mail as well.

Its my diploma! isnt it fancy?!

After an exciting day of shoe shopping my mom and I went to lunch. We decided to try this new place that just opened up called Jack's Grill. I had a turkey wrap that was only OK, but the atmosphere in the restaurant was really cool.

After lunch I went home and laid around with my roomie for a while. I was supposed to go out to my fave sushi restaurant but in the middle of getting ready a little tornado decided to join the party and the power went out. There was no way for me to get ready in the dark, so I just threw on a sweatshirt for the movie and had dinner at home. My roomate and my friend Tanya went to see Hes Just Not That Into You. It was sooo cute and I remembered how much I loved Jennifer Connely because she was the star of this little gem, that I watched religiously as a child.

The Labryinth. It was her first movie and also starred David Bowie. If you havent seen it, do yourself a favor and rent it TONIGHT! :)

Anyways, after the movie I met up with some friends to play a little pool.
