I dunno what it is, but I'm having a great day today! Even though I am totally lobster red...

I did some random things today. It was way better than being on the computer the whole time, for once.


My trip was awesome! Although I fought with my sister and cried a few times in front of my grandparents, I really enjoyed myself for the most part.

My days in Florida went like this:
eating/pool/shopping/eating/shopping/eating/dominoes

Yes, we had a lot of shopping. I got tonnes of new stuff... a couple clothes, some games, and a whole lot of Sanrio/"Hello Kitty" stuff! The mall in Wellington has a whole store dedicated to Sanrio! I was thrilled <3

And we swam every day! I was literally lathered in sunscreen every day except for the day we were leaving, and that day we went at the height of the sun... so you can imagine, I am burnt to a crisp. Anyway, we went to the water park one day, which was so cool, except they had to close early due to weather :<. On the tenth we even went to the beach! The water was so warm and wonderful!

Ugh, and all the eating! Dinner was eaten out most nights, and sometimes we ate lunch out too. I can't say I didn't enjoy myself, but I will say that it starts to feel gross after awhile!

The dominoes! We had a week long tournament. My Nana placed first, and I placed second! I earned a whole $19 dollars, well, really $9 + $10 for placing second, and then my mother split her winnings between my sister and I, and I ended up with $25! Anyway, we always play a lot of dominoes at my Nana & Giggy'! Best game EVAR.

Oh, so ALSO, I turned 17 on the 10th! OMFG it feels AWESOME! I had a great day. We went to the pool, and also to the beach! And then, for dinner we went to this Chinese place, and for dessert they gave me a platter of the icecream we all had ordered, but with a candle on top! It was so sweet <3

Though, I didn't really get any gifts that day besides a small one from my mom (new eyeliner, gobstoppers, and makeupremover), I was given a lot of stuff over the course of the week. I got a couple of books, including Breaking Dawn and one of my favorite mangas, Lovely Complex, and my reading requirement, The Scarlet Letter, as well as a 3 volume set of the manga Magical Knights Rayearth and this random book called Cathy's Book (or was it Diary?). I also received two DS games, Animal Crossing: Wild World, and Rune Factory: a Fantasy Harvest Moon. In addition to that, we did some clothes shopping so I got some nice stuff, like some new shoes and nice shirts, and the like. And my mom paid for half the Sanrio stuff I got (OMG new lunchbox!) too. So all in all, I would say I received some nice stuff! Oh, and my Grandma sent me a $50 gift card to B&N, which was very cool of her <3 And then, my mom brought home a cake today for us to celebrate with ! Oh, I love birthdays soooooo very much!

Anyhow, Vay-Cay is over, so I gotta get back to my normal schedule of lah-di-dah~! Heh, sorry for the long description~ <3
