4Ft teddy's and some birthday shenans

It's beyond me that I turned on some Christmas music in august when writing this post. Merry August 7th! 7-3=4. My birthday was three days ago! 19 yo. Putting on them big girl panties. I can legally buy tobacco in the dirty Jers. because obviously that is what I'm doing. (read: NOT). I bet your reading this and thinking gah this girls blog I follow, she is a child compared to me! Sorry! You are not old. I'm just young. Think of me like you think of the grandma's and grandpa's on facebook. Appreciated but sometimes not necessary. Couldn't even tell you what I'm saying right now. I miss the days of being home ALL day staring at my computer refreshing blogger, waiting for a new post to stalk. Now that I have my last minute camp day job before heading to school, I have zilch (0) blog relaxing time. 

Back to the birthday shenans. It wasn't stellar but turned out in the end to rock my world. 
I didn't get the presents I wanted but I did get a tiffany necklace (nothing too glammy. thank gosh, so not me), and a BirchBox subscription (hi sister because I know you will eventually read this). Also B's present? L-O-L. Like actually I'm confused but its cute. and It's large. and it's sitting on my bed. Awkwardly far enough away from me that it doesn't a) take up my bed and b) creep me out in the middle of the night. 


A four foot giant teddy bear. Literally what. Thats all I have been saying. 

The card made me all warm and giggly inside though because he actually thinks its cute that I sleep with his clothes as blanket. I am a child. #Notsorry. Also shout out to the error in the message. Ten points to gryffindor if you figure it out. Aka everyone gets a point because it is easy-peasy to detect! B's mom told me she suggested a monogram travel bag. I don't know why he didn't listen to her but alrighty B, you do you. Also he gave me chocolate covered gummy bears in THE MORNING (breakfast) on the way to Miss USA (post to come friday). He knows how much I love chocolate covered gummy bears. Especially for b-fast. Super nutritious right? Aren't gummy bears like, their own food group? ;)

Cue awkward #ootd. My mirror selfies just weren't havin it on my birthday. Sup to my monogram necklace, Joyce Leslie lace shorts, and American Apparel Leotard. 

A face you've never seen before on my blog I'm assuming, right?

Icky photos but love my big sister and our boyfriends. (She stole the good side. Grrrr)

Go check out her fancy shmancy blog and buy some affordable yet WAY trendy post cards
So happy I got to celebrate it with my family.
And ended my birthday with some friendly's ice cream. Heck yes.

And then Monday I got to meet Miss USA....dream.come.true. 
Check back on Friday's post!!!!!

The posts you've all been waiting for (Ok..maybe just me)

Although it was a few hours short of 2 full days, it was still an amazing time and we did so much!
So happy I got to experience my first blog date!

Tuesday: B and I woke up early to take our three hour trek to DC. It went pretty quickly actually. Maybe because I was playing some Luke Bryan? I'm gonna go with yes. A few minutes outside of downtown DC, we passed a gas station. We totally forgot we had to pump gas, which neither of us have done without someone else before so we decided to skip. Keep on driving and we hit another one so we decided to stop. I WISH I TOOK A PICTURE. We were standing there waiting for someone else to pay with cash until we realized we had to go inside and pay. We did. yet B paid for a different numbered pump. UM WHAT! So he had to drive around to the right one and then we got it from there. Quite an experience. #TeamWork

As soon as we got to our hotel, we walked over to the Washington monument where Lauren and boyfriend were waiting for us! IT WAS SO EXCITING. We walked over to the WWII memorial where we took our first blogger pic. Kind of a really big deal. 

After doing all the typical touristy stuff (Lincoln memorial, etc)(1) we tried to head over to the Jefferson Monument until we realized the distance and we were like errrr better not. So illegally J-walked(2) a bit and off to Georgetown(3) we went!
          1.                                                      2.                                                3.

After lunch in Georgetown, we sat near the water front where Lauren's boy fed his left over pizza crust to the ducks. (See: her instagram). Later that night at dinner we met up with my two roommates from a travel trip I went on. It was so perfect how they were both around! They bought me a birthday drink and we got some complimentary warm icky saki. Also, never trust Yelp. It looked like a nice place according to them but it was seriously in the DC ghetto. Awkward......Still sorry about that one. Later we all headed out for some froyo & Lauren and boyfriends checked out some places at night! It was the such a perfect day.


Wednesday: After a late wake up, some starbucks, and stopping at a CVS to buy blister bandaids (seriously super ouch with a side of gross), we headed off to the National Archives and some other museums and then said our goodbyes :(. Then B and I were off to see Capitol Hill and the newseum, which was AWESOME. I highly recommend it if you're ever in town! We would have been there for hours but 1. we were exhausted and ready to head home and 2. it closed at 5! We finally found the closest burrito place (cue Qudoba) and headed on outta durrrrr.
Being that I wanted to sleep forever but I can never sleep during car rides, I was delusional singing some rap songs almost the whole entire ride. I don't really think B wants to ever hear me sing again. I got so bored I asked to play 20 questions. Ya know not the one younging teenagers play to get to know someone better (Barf and awkward). I stumped B with a 'supermarket' and he stumped me with a jaguar. Like really?! It was fun and took up the last leg of our drive home. As soon as I got home, I passed out and then realized my life was going to become boring again. Bad ending, I know. TAKE ME BACK. Reality can sometimes be no fun!
