We just had our family birthday parties yesterday. A little late, I know. But my cousins went on a Hot Topic kick, so that made up for it :P So they got me a shirt, some socks, a necklace, a pin, and a mood ring from Hot Topic ^_^ Plus I got $25 dollars from Brenda and Pat. I saw Ray yesterday!!! Yay!!! He's a stuck-up, snobby 15-year-old male Californian now, but I still love 'im. It's the most fun to tease him. I actually got him to shut up about his non-exsistant "acting career" after I teased him for half the time.... Alright, so I need to go soon because I'm baking dinner tonight and we need to get started early. We're baking cheesecake (YUMMY!!!), chicken noodle soup (LOL!), and having store-bought garlic bread :P makes it easier for me that way. Plus I want to do an appetizer, but my mom says we don't have enough time. TTFN! *** EARTHQUAKE!!!! It was a small one. My mom didn't even feel it, but Jess and I did. I was downstairs, and Jess was in her bedroom. You can REALLY feel 'em when you're downstairs, and you can hear the floor upstairs creeking.... It's cool.
