starbucks card

our (starbucks) loot

secret package

kitty buds!!!

I was walking home with my friend when she found a Starbucks Card lying on the side of the road. We didn’t think much of it, but she called to see what the balance was on the card. Guess how much was on it? Thirty Five Dollars! We couldn’t believe it! For fun, she suggested we use it all up on my birthday (which was a couple of days ago), and this was our loot! We were giggling the whole time at how ridiculous this was, but we have to do ridiculous things sometimes!

And while we were eating our Starbucks lunch in the park, we felt the earth shaking a little bit beneath us. It was tremors of an earthquake!!! Did you feel it?

When I got home, I found a sweet, unsigned package on my mailbox; it only said “Happy Birthday Celine!” I was so delighted, and I was curious as to who it was from! I got a pretty good idea when I saw what was inside! (A piece of kitty buds fabric from Melinda!! Thank you Melinda!! You are the sweetest!)

It turned out to be a pretty good day. Thanks everyone!

  15. Happy Birthday Celine! Hope it was a good one. some of us in parts of New Jersey felt a slight swaying during the quake too, but barely noticeable.

  17. Happy Birthday (belated, though I think I hit you before the actual day so I've got both ends covered). Loved the Starbucks spending spree...and you guys are all making me want that kitty bud fabric! It's pretty darn cute.
