October 29th, 2007Happy Birthday To Me!!

Yup…today is my birthday!! Yippy!! LOL! My family celebrated it yesterday and boy was it great. Not only did we have yummy amazing Portuguese food, but I also got a few things I asked for.

The beginning of the day was awesome. Everyone was getting along great and saying happy birthday to me even though my birthday is technically today. My mom went crazy with the decorations and put balloons, streams, banners, and other decor all over the kitchen and stairs. Even the gifts were colourful! LOL! Here is some photos:

My father asked me what I wanted for supper (he always asks whoever birthday it is). I had one restaurant in mind, so of course we had to get yummy Portuguese food. Here are some photos of the food we ate:

Okay…you’re probably thinking HOLY SMOKES enough food. LOL!….this is a Portuguese dinner people. We eat tons and have lots of leftovers. There will always be enough food for everyone. Well, here is what the foods are in order.

  • Photo 1 - small circle potatoes
  • Photo 2 - fish, shrimp, rice, olives
  • Photo 3 - onions/peppers, beef under the onions
  • Photo 4 - veggies
  • Photo 5 - my ice cream birthday cake
  • Photo 6 - Seafood!! (clams, shrimps, crabs)

Yes…all for MY BIRTHDAY!! *feels special* lmao So you are probably wondering what I got. I ended up getting two things that I asked for from my list of three things. I got…

  • $100 cash
  • A brown sweater (so cozy!!)
  • Full House Season 7 on dvd
  • The Sims 2 Bon Voyage Expansion Pack

I didn’t get the iPod but that’s okay. I’ll ask for that for Christmas. LOL!! The rest of the evening was nice. We were suppose to go see a movie (30 Days of Night) but time was running out so we didn’t get around doing so. Hopefully I’ll go see it on Tuesday because it looks friggin awesome!!

So there you have it…my 22nd birthday celebration. I’m not a big partier and throw huge parties and invite 50+ guests. Nope..not me. The only people that matter in my life is my family and my best friend, my dog.

Of course I’m not gonna end this post without me blowing out the candles. Heehee…and look…here is my best friend enjoying some ice cream cake too because she just wouldn’t leave my side. LOL!

HAPPY 22nd BIRTHDAY TO ME!!!

October 20th, 2007Great family news!!

I forgot to blog about this the other day, but I did mention I had exciting news to say. On October 16, which is my sister Lisa’s birthday, she got engaged to her boyfriend. I am soooo excited for them because they make such a great couple!

Here’s a scrapbook page I made for them awhile ago.

October 15th, 2007The day is coming up soon!!

Time is flying by really quickly. Just next month I will finally become an aunt! I can’t wait!!

My sister is still covered under my dad’s medical insurance. They cover a semi-private room in the hospital. For only $20 more, she can up that room to a private room which is exactly what she wants to do. I would too. Come on…it’s only $20 more. LMAO!!

It’ll be nice to have a private room for family and friends to gather around. Plus her room will have a couch, tv mount, bathroom, and other cool things that she gets included.

I seriously can’t wait!! This will be the first grandchild for my parents and my first nephew!! I’m so excited!! November 21st is my sister’s due date. I can’t wait for the coming weeks.

October 5th, 2007TGIF & Long Weekend!!

Thank goodness it’s Friday!! This weekend is a three day weekend for most Canadians. Why? Because Thanksgiving is on Monday. Sweet!! I can’t wait to have turkey and stuffing.

My mom makes the best stuffing in the world. Yeah, I know everyone probably thinks their own is good, which is understandable. My favourite is my mom’s and no one tops it in our extended family. To be honest, she is the best cook throughout my entire family. Every seems to think so too!

Let’s see if I have a photo of my mom in action. LOL! Here we go.

I snapped this photo awhile back but that’s my mommy making another one of her delicious dishes.

September 25th, 2007Need a wedding dress?

My sister is completely in love with her current boyfriend and they are planning to marry. They have even been shopping around for engagement rings. Of course after the proposal comes the planning. Then, along comes the dress decisions. Oh the torture! Which one to choose?

I’ve been assisting my sister with finding wedding dresses online and looking at the various styles and prices. My sister has come to the decision that she wants something classy but not too over the top. When I showed her the dresses at TheBridalShop.com, they instantly fell in love with this Sottero Midgley by Maggie Sottero Wedding Dresses and Gowns. You can see it in the photo to the side.

This wedding dress is absolutely gorgeous! Plus, it’s affordable considering the crazy prices of dresses nowadays. My sister fell in love with it because it is classy but not over the top like other dresses we looked at. I can honestly say, she may in fact purchase this dress for her wedding. She even asked me to print all the information out. LOL!

If you’re looking for wedding dresses, then definitely look at TheBridalShop.com.
