My B-day gifts to me

I've always wanted The Blues Brothers on DVD but while at Target yesterday, I just couldn't stomach paying $14.99 for it! Man, that thing can be gotten for cheaper, I just know it! But since I hadn't gotten myself a b-day gift yet, I finally decided on some new jewelry which I haven't bought for myself in years. I got me some big sterling silver hoops (I only own small silver hoops) and a 3-pack of multi-sized cubic zirconia studs! These are to wear on patrol, since I don't really have any good stud earrings to wear on patrol--we can't wear anything dangly, the reasons for which I'm sure you can deduce for yourself. I got them on super-sale and was happy! I came thisclose to getting some sunglasses that look sort of like the ones Mackie wears on The Shield, but again, couldn't stomach the $9.99 price. They'll go on sale after summer! Besides, S already got me big, obnoxious state trooper sunglasses.

S got me the 7th season of Seinfeld, which we have both been dying to get. I was proud of him for getting it on sale! I had the most awesome b-day lunch at The Cheesecake Factory with S and little brother. I tried one of the new cheesecakes on the menu, Pineapple Upside Down Cheesecake, and was not disappointed!

Later, S and I saw what was hopefully the worst movie I will see this year. In other words, I hope to waste no more time seeing bad movies! (We wanted to see Shooter, with my love Levon Helm, but it's been out too long and has already been shuttled off to one movie theater on the outskirts of Houston!) We ended my b-day out by eating unnecessarily at the Outback Steakhouse b/c I had won those gift cards there. I couldn't even finish, and ate the leftovers today!

So another successful b-day is in the books. Speaking of books, I am in the middle of a truly gripping one, Under the Bridge, which Reese Witherspoon has just bought the rights for. It gave me nightmares last night--yes, more true crime!
