Birthday

I had my 21st birthday a few days ago! *cue happy dance* I figured I had to make the obligatory birthday post, even if it is a few days late. I have a new laptop since my last posts, and it has Windows 7 on it and the newest paint and such and OMG PAINT IS SO AWESOME. However, I'm having issues controlling my mousepad on this computer because the click buttons aren't separate buttons like I'm used to on my old laptop, and this laptop has a silly thing where if you hold down the button for a bit, once you let up, it'll still act like it's holding down... So if you're drawing in paint, and you hold down the button to drag your line or whatever, and you let go, thinking you're done drawing your line, the laptop is like "LA LA LA I'M STILL DRAWING".

I can see where it'd be helpful, if you're scrolling through something endlessly or something, but to me it's super annoying. -.-

Anyways! Birthday. So Tim took me to Ulta and let me get a bunch of stuff for my birthday. I got a Bare Minerals starter kit. Let's talk about this stuff. It's amazing. When I was putting it on at first I didn't think it'd cover my face enough, but by the time I was finished with the whole regime, it looked really natural but everything was covered! It's kind of expensive, $60 for a starter kit, but you use so little makeup ("less is more") and it's so good for you, I figure it should hopefully pay for itself. I also got some Urban Decay mascara that I LOVE, and some miscellaneous loofas and bath stuff and face wash (Mario Badescu brand is the best face care btw).

Dad sent me money to help me start a fund for a downpayment on a car. The goal is to save up enough to just buy a new (used) care outright though since I can't really make car payments since my paychecks are like $25 each week. Seriously, Brookstone cut two of my shifts last week so I only worked for 3 hours. WTF guys, I've got bills to pay! Ugh. Anyways.

Mom sent me a package of goodies that got here the other day. I got hair curlers, a nice water bottle, workout clothes, a spoon rest for when you're cooking stuff on the stove, lotion that smells amazing, workout clothes, and an onion chopper. An onion chopper, you say? Check it out. Coolest thing ever.

I'm really excited to use this thing! It's awesome. Mom's had one for years and I always love using it.

We went to Outback for my birthday dinner (and had Macaroni Grille for lunch so I was quite well-fed that day). I ordered my first adult drink ^-^ and much excitement and fun was had.

It was a great day, andddd there you have it!
