A Birthday To Remember

Today was my friend Megan's 13th birthday. Yes. The birthday where she becomes an official teenager, a very important moment in her life.  Megan's my friend that moved to Germany about 3 years ago. She comes and visits for the summer but this is one time where we actually celebrated her birthday with an almost birthday party. The party was to be held at my house. She wanted a party specifically for making slime, and slime only. I expected tons of people to come, but eventually I found out it was only going to be me, her, and her close friend Hannah.  I was a bit relieved and a bit discouraged. I was relieved because I didn't want random strangers in my house, but then I also wanted to make new friends. Anyways, so when they came over we made a bunch of slime. What the surprise was, was that they took us to the spa for 2 hours! It was pure torture!  They made me do my nails, I had to get a facial, I had to do my hair, and I almost had to do makeup! I absolutely hated it, but I didn't want to hurt my friends feeling since she really wanted to go to the spa.  When we first got there we had to wait a bit because my friends mom rented out the whole entire place for 2 hours and there were still people inside so we had to wait a few minutes. During this time we got to sit in their lounge and drink sparkling apple juice while eating tiny cupcakes. As soon as the other people got out we had to go in.  The facial, it wasn't actually that bad, but the hair and nails was the torture!   The nice ladies curled my hair in ringlets and they painted my nails cotton candy blue and pink! We had "fun", but at the end it was all fine. My friend gave us goody bags that contained a karaoke microphone, and a bunch of German candy. I think that this day isn't a complete waste of time. I guess. Anyways, I'm a slime expert now. It was a pretty nice day, I got to see my friend from Germany, and I made a new friend. Well I actually knew Hannah for awhile, but we were never as close. So it was a pretty worth it day.
