A 25 year old obsessed with giraffes lol.
So my birthday was yesterday (the 19th) and thankfully the weather was actually good so i was able to take my daughter to the zoo. Was my first time taking my daughter to the zoo alone.
Was actually really nice, was able to go the pace that i wanted to go, though some parts were a little faster than i wanted because my daughter didn't want to stay at one point too long. Over all was a good pace. Got through almost all the animals in a good amount of time and got done around when my mom got there to pick us up. Still had the gift shop to do when we met up but my mom was able to help with my daughter while in there so i could look around for things. got my daughter some things and got myself some stuff since the whole zoo thing was suppose to be a birthday thing for me.
Didn't get to take many pictures while there because since it was just me and my daughter, i didn't want to accidentally lose track of her while focusing on taking a picture. i got some nice pictures of her having fun, so that was the whole point of going, having fun.
Of course had to get pictures of the giraffes. would of maybe tried to do more pictures but my daughter didn't want to stand there too long, she wanted to move to the next thing. There are a few other pictures of the animals, but nothing that is really needed to be shared because of being an amazing shot.
Here's what i gifts i got.
Lantern that my brother got me. It makes it look like a candle flickering. Haven't tested it yet but has a timer of that instead of being on for 5 hours than turning off, it would be on for the 5 hours then off for the 19 hours then turns back on for the 5 hours. which is interesting for being a cheapish halloween decoration.
I wasn't actually asking for this. We were at Kohl's and i saw them, was interested until i saw them being $25. I told my mom there was 2 pounds of jelly beans (go to phrasing instead of jelly belly) for $25. She asked if i was interested and i said sorta then she grabbed the bag. Even the cashier was a bit shocked we were buying them.
little giraffe figure ontop of a stick of cheap candy. I wanted it because of being a giraffe. Gave the candy to my daughter.
This is going to be one of my favorite mugs. I love mugs and i love giraffes :).
This blanket is amazing! so soft and warm. would be a little better if it was a little bigger. I'm short so it's not bad but i can't cuddle up with the top and keep my feet covered. I can deal with it since it's so soft and warm. I get cold easily. It's also giraffe print so yay.
Shirt i got at zoo. i saw two that i wanted, the other was a yellow one. i wanted both but after really looking at them, i went with just this one because i'm not really comfortable in crew neck type shirts. This one is more of a scoop neck so i went with just this one.
Got myself a large bright pink giraffe :) i love it.
Lastly is a fitbit zip. This was the biggest thing i was hoping for. I was going to get one anyways but i asked my mom if she maybe would be okay with getting me it for my birthday. Haven't been super on track with eating better, but is at least nice to see how active i'm being. I'll maybe do another post about this little thing once i get to using it more. Maybe once i start to actually getting to where i can lose some weight lol. Have had it for less than a week, so still getting myself on track, just a little slow.
Birthday wasn't as bad as i thought it would be. Still wish i could have like an actual party, but i have no one to invite that i'd want to celebrate with. Also just not happy that i'm at my highest weight for my birthday. so hopefully by my next one i can finally be lighter. even if not at my goal weight, being a good bit less than i am now would be good. maybe at least my before getting pregnant weight. Don't want to go way off topic since this is about my birthday.
I'll end this with that I am at the age my parents had me, so i'm currently half my parents age. And as my mom likes to point out, i'm 1/4 a century.
