Feliz Cumpleanos a Mi

My 21st birthday was this weekend. It was a lot of fun. I went out and drank but didn't get stupid drunk. Thanks to everyone who came, I really had a good time! I don't think it could have gone better.

For my birthday Liz got me a gift certificate to Dollar Tree. Dollar stores in general (except Dollar General...ironic) are awesome! We love that place. I think the best gifts are things people want but won't buy for themselves. Liz made a rule that I had to spend it on frivolous things, not necessities. So I had way too much fun buying random stuff. And to show her that I followed the rule, I took a picture of it all.




Here is the run down, going counter clockwise starting with the flowers.

So my favorite purchase was the flowers. It did take me for-freaking-ever to arrange them just how I wanted, then stabilizing it (with pennies) and what not in the pot. It was really really frustrating. But the end result is satisfactory.
You can't quite tell what it is, but that purple box next to it is a Snuggle air freshner. All I look for in air fresheners is something that sells like laundry. I LOVE the smell of dryer sheets, so this really is my ideal air freshener.
Next up is some oregano and parsley. I would just buy myself italian seasoning instead of these two because I'd only have to buy one and its cheaper, but having these two is a good addition to my spices. I think I use spices a lot more than most people, but I think they make a big difference in dishes.
Next on the list is a book about the planets. Random, but I'm pretty excited to read it.
Eye shadow...for fun.
Then that orange packet thing...it actually has a key chain with beads. Its feminine and I like it.
This one might just be my favorite-DR. PEPPER FREEZER POPS!!! o.m.g. srsly? they make these!!!! I'm eating one now and its pretty darn good.
Then a water bottle, because school is coming up and I may need one, also its smaller than the ones they have at wal mart and stuff which is good because I never drink that much and I end up throwing out the water anyway.
Next up it some sweet pea bubble bath for...well for bubble baths.
Then a bath pillow, since I've only recently discovered the joyous nature of baths and think this may enhance it.


So maybe I'd buy the Dr. Pepper freezer pops for myself, but I think everything else qualifies as frivolous right??
I LOVE YOU LIZ!!!
