In the middle of taking pictures this parachute came OUT OF NOWHERE. I frantically pointed at the sky for Jason to look while he just ignored me and then said, “Oh, yeah. I saw that earlier.” Oh. Old news I guess.
Then parachute man flew into the sun and we never saw him again.

I gotta say, I didn’t know how I’d feel about having short hair but I love it. Like l-o-v-e it. No more rat nest when I wake up! Though it’s taking me a while to figure out what to do with it. No more blogger top knot or normal pony tail. I can’t wait to see what it looks like a couple of months from now. If I can make myself get a trim every once in a while. (Which I never do.)
Since coming back from vacation I feel like everything just kind of whooshed back into reality and left me in the middle of a hurricane saying, “What!?” I have to sing on recital next week, work on a conducting midterm, practice with my accompanist and somehow start weeding through my research for a history paper due at the end of the semester. After yesterday it all kind of mellowed out since I got some other things out of the way. But sheesh! Now I understand why vacations during school are always better if left to the summer. But you better believe I wouldn’t have given up that beach week for nothin’. Still mourning the loss…
No, your computer didn’t malfunction. That’s ‘Happy Birthday!’ in Swedish. Why Swedish? Well, I just finished reading Stieg Larsson’s The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo. Is it sad that it took me almost a full chapter to realize it was set in Sweden and not some weird America? And the happy birthday? Well yesterday was sweet Jason’s 27th birthday! A post is coming up about his day later this week. So while I’m trying to get my head back on straight after our incredible beach vacay, how about the coolest thrifted blouse ever?

Oh yeah, and I got all my hair chopped off! I think I lost 5 pounds when I did. It looked like someone ate my hair then threw it up all over the floor. That’s how much hair there was. I can turn my head without it getting yanked or stuck under my armpit! I can brush through it in less than 10 minutes! I can curl it! I have HEALTHY BANGS THAT I DIDN’T CUT MYSELF! Thank you, sweet sweet hair savior, Kelso/Michael.
Yes, we had an amazing time on our vacay thank you for asking! Believe me, there will be some picture heavy posts coming up once I melt back into reality this week. We hit the motherload on thrifting down there in ye olde gator state. They have 1/2 off Mondays! GET IT TOGETHER, TEXAS.
In other thrifting news, did you guys know that Tyler is getting a Plato’s Closet!? I almost had a panic attack when I saw that. EEEEEP!
PS. How humongo does my ring look up there? The waitress at dinner last night said, “Is that your wedding ring!? Awwwright!” 🙂
PPS. If you try to comment but get some kind of error let me know asap! My mom and I were having trouble commenting but as far as I can tell it’s back to normal now. I’m trying to get this weird error fixed so if you can’t comment you can email me or (surprise!) like me on Facebook and comment there. 🙂

Four more days until this. And this. And this. Unfortunately, I’m not there yet and am stuck on the couch watching the cats hunt down roaches and listening to Jason sleeping. At least I’m not up studying my eyeballs out like I was Monday night. Yikes. Oh, and I’m finally getting my hair cut. Hooray! Friday morning at 9am couldn’t get here soon enough!
Any book recommendations for our trip? My mom bought me The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo which I can’t wait to read! My sister has the Hunger Games, before you suggest that, and it’s all OVER my “to read” list. I’d love your suggestions!
Doing anything fun over spring break?

On a lighter note…I might’ve been on the news last night, but I don’t know since we don’t have cable. Lemme ‘splain.
Laneville is suuper small and all they have is a basketball team. A really good basketball team. Like, state champs for three years really good. They go to the playoffs every year and this year was no exception. There was a game yesterday morning so, naturally, they cancelled school. Jason left way early and rode the bus with the team to the game that didn’t start until 10. I got up, left for class and picked him up afterward. We had a delicious lunch at Jucy’s and since we didn’t have anywhere to be until 6 we decided to go to Best Buy and drool over my dream camera (that I’m getting for Christmas! Yay savings!) As we were walking in I saw a lady with a hefty camera walking back towards us. In my head I thought, “Cool! I wanna be on TV!” But usually when I see someone with a big camera, they never ask me anything. It must be my intimidating good looks. Anyone? Anyone? Is this thing on!?
But lo and behold she said, “Hey guys! I’m with KETK 56 and we’re doing a story on autocorrect and about whether or not you use it or even like it.” She then hoisted the camera onto her shoulder, did kind of a nod which I took to mean, “Talk, dummies,” so I did. I stammered and uhh’d and said autocorrect about 60 times while Jason stood motionless at my side. Thanks, hub. You always know when to bail me out.
The whole process took like 30 seconds from the time she approached us to when she turned the camera off. Walking away she probably thought, “Yeah, that’s trash. Where are some more people?” I thought she’d surely ask us something while the camera was actually on instead of asking us–Awkward Queen and King–to come up with something off the cuff.
So, I have no idea whether or not they aired our little gem of an interview. So if you saw a goofy looking red haired girl that desperately needs a haircut and a bearded gent on your local news Friday night, let a sista’ know so she can protest that mug.

Taking outfit pictures usually begins with me nagging Jason to take my picture and ends with him snapping continuously while I try to grab the camera away. Which makes for some ridiculous looking pictures of me with my mouth all sideways and my eyes half closed. Gorgeous.
I’m in a rush because we’re about to head over to Laneville’s homecoming! I tried to get Jason to get me a mum but he said that they gave those to mummies before they died.
So I didn’t get one.
