Jason Castro

Kris Allen

1985

Vivin

1989

and

Randy Jackson

1956

Ok, ok... so Vivin isn't actually a celebrity, he's my boyfriend (the guy who bought me all that awesome yarn for my birthday, remember?). But he's born on the same day as THREE American Idol people. Isn't that awesome (dawg)?! He turned 21 today, which means he's..

7670 days 

184,079.8 hours

11,044,789.1 minutes and

662,687,343 seconds old

Dang, man! You're soo old!!!

Some quick trivia: on June 23, the US Secret Service was created (1860), Walt Disney's "Lady and the Tramp" was released (1955), and the Nintendo 64 went on sale for the very first time (1996). What a day!

20th Birthday Report

I had an awesome birthday! I ate out with my family and ended up with lots of goodies too! ^_^

Here are all the sweet pressies I got in the order I received them

The first gift came from by boyfriend. He gave it to me a couple of weeks ago when I visited him. It's 4 hanks of Mmmmalabrigo (you can see that I already started a project with one of them. Eager hands. lol :P) and 2 sets of double pointed needles. He just remembered me saying that Malabrigo was really nice yarn once. Even I didn't remember ever mentioning that to him! Awesome, right? Don't you love it when they listen? ^_^

The next one, believe it or not, came from someone I've never met! A RAK friend from Ravelry, LouieLouie, sent me two skeins of Noro Silk Garden and some Harajuku Lovers perfume! She even sent it by priority mail so that it would make it in time for my birthday. How sweet :)

After we were done eating at Nothing but Noodles, we went to Hobby Lobby and I treated myself to some yarn for a sock yarn blanket I recently started (pics coming soon!) I'm saving the two purple ones for a pair of socks though. Maybe. lol :P

While we were at Hobby Lobby, my mom got me this fancy vase to display yarn in. Here it is with my fancy smanciest yarns. Recognize any of them? :P

After Hobby Lobby, we went clothes shopping and I got

A top for church

A cute blue skirt

And a flowy dress for school.

So as you can see, I got plenty of things that were on my birthday wish list. Told you I had an awesome birthday! :D

My Birthday Wishlist!

My birthday is tomorrow, June 16! I'll be celebrating the BIG TWO-OH!  =)

Here's a list of a few things I might like to have around that time. *cough cough, hint hint* ;)

1. A sewing machine

This Janome Threadbanger one looks awesome, but this Walmart one is probably a little more realistic pricewise and will get the job done for the simple projects I'll be doing.

2. A new car (who wants to check this one off for me? lol)

Smart Cars are so cute! They're fuel efficient and easy to park, too. What I've heard about their safety ratings is a bit of a turnoff though, so I'll settle for a Pruis. I'm doing you a favor, I know.

.3. yarn, yarn, yarn.

As in...

Noro

Malabrigo

Cascade 220

I think you can see where I'm going with this. A nice trip to Yarn Expression should do me good.

4. clothes, clothes, clothes

As in....

Dresses

Tops

Skirts

...I can see that you're a fast learner. I'll move on.

5. A circular needle holder

Omgeezers I've been dying to get one of these for ages! I was gonna sew one myself, but you know how the laziness thing goes. :P

6. a purse

Some may say this belongs in the clothes, clothes, clothes section. But no. Purses are that important. I've been eyeing this one by Ecoist for quite some time.

And there you have it! I can't wait to see what you get me!! lol :)
