Birthday!

So, yesterday (the 10th) was my birthday. It started out not too great, because my mum and dad were fighting already, but otherwise it was a pretty good day.
My gifts were: a Japanese Zen Garden, from my mum and dad, Tarot Cards from my Aunt, a Japanese scent thing from my sister, a remote control boat-thing for my pool, and a new Kodak digital camera. (Yeah, the last two presents soo do not fit in with the other presents. xD)
I really love all of my presents. A few of them were pleasant surprises, while others were exactly what I wanted.
Leah and I hung out before we had to walk the dogs (I'll explain that later). We had fun just being retards an exploring/setting up my gifts.
When I came home, I helped Mum set up for her Bunco party. Bunco is a dice game with 3 rounds of six for a total of 18 rounds. Each round goes with a number on the dice. So, 1 would be four people at one table rolling dice and aiming for ones. There are three tables, the Head table, the Middle table, and the Lower table; four people sit at each table for a total of twelve people playing. If the head table gets a Bunco (when someone rolls all three dices and each one ends up being the number of that round-ie. the round is six, so someone rolls three sixes; that would be a bunco.) then that round is over, and the go to the next round.
So, I played Bunco in my mum's place, that way she could continue cooking, cleaning, and such. You wouldn't believe how many times I was asked what high school I was going to, how old I was, and all of that. It was hilarious, really.
At the end, of course, a group of the girls did what I had dreaded; they sang me happy birthday. =P It was nice, but embarrassing. The desert, that always comes after the bunco rounds and before the prizes, was an ice cream cake. ^-^
Charlene, my mum's boss, is one of the bunco ladies. She chose a rug for her prize, for she won the most non-buncos (those are when you roll a dice of all the same number, but the number isn't the one for the round- ie. the round is round five, and you roll three ones. That's a non-bunco.). The rug she chose had been one I liked, and in the end, she gave it to me has a birthday present, even though I could have gone out and gotten the rug if I had wanted. It was very nice of her. ^^
Of course, my mum had to ruin the nice evening by yelling at Dad when he came home. "What are you doing here?! I told you stay at the bowling alley, no one wants you here!" Dad kind of lives here too, you know, Mum. My father has every right to come back to his house, especially since it's his daughter's birthday. Dad didn't need to throw one of his semi-fits and throw a water bottle, though...
-shrug- Oh well. All in all, the day was a really good one!
Well, that's all. I'm tired and wish to go to bed.
