It's WHITNEY'S BIRTHDAY! YAY!
Hi all!
So, today was my 23rd birthday, as most everybody knows. I thought I would take a sec and relate a little about my day, just for your personal enjoyment and pleasure. So enjoy... and take pleasure...
I got up at a ridiculously early time which I will not even mention here because I could not sleep. I know, boo, right? I chatted with Allie and Mom and Marlee, who were all awake and wished me a happy b-day before going upstairs to get ready. Now, when Mom let Marlee out this morning, she made the statement, "Wow. It's windy. It's going to be chilly at the beach." Dad wasn't feeling well, but we decided to persevere anyway and didn't think about Mom's comment again... for awhile at least... Mom and Dad, who gave me my birthday gift (some money) a couple months ago when I really needed it, also sent me to the spa for a massage. Now, most of y'all know that I am not so big on the whole "people rubbing on me" thing. Not so much. However, I must say... WOW... That was AWESOME! An hour later, I felt like a nice little soppy pool of Whitney goo. Nice, very nice.
Once I managed to scoop myself together and get home to get cleaned up, we met with "Auntie" Kim from church, who'd agreed to go with us to the Isle of Palms to take some pictures of us on the beach, something that Mom had wanted us to do for a long time. We drove out there and went to lunch first at Coconut Joe's on the beach. YUM! I heart Coconut Joe's! So the food was great and then we walked down the boardwalk to the beach.
Yeah. It was COLD and WINDY! Lots of both, just as Mom had predicted, the little weather forecaster she is...
Kim started trying to pose us and between the GALE FORCE winds and the coldness that came along with them, yeah... not so much... However, there was this one really hilarious moment that involved me crawling up a sand dune, apparently looking like someone would as they crawled across the desert... And there was the infamous Mom and Dad perching on a dune moment when the wind picked up and all they could see was sand... Good times... Good times...
Anyway, we got some pretty good pictures, despite the cold and wind, which are here, with my comments, of course.
We then came back and Mom and I went to Wal-Mart and Best Buy, ended up buying frames for some signed posters I had (one for an HBO show called "True Blood" that's signed by the cast and Allie got me a pair of signed "Watchmen" posters signed by the cast for my birthday) and movies ("Slumdog Millionaire" which is amazing, and "Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian" which has cute little Ben Barnes, even if he does have a terrible Spanish accent).
Overall, a fun day. Good times were had by all. I had a great day!
Thanks for all of the birthday well-wishes, cards, and gifts. I appreciate everything!
Love to all!
Stay AWESOME!
Whitney
