my dream valentine

source

Thank you Amelise for directing me to this story coming out of my home turf.

So his court date is on valentines day?  Sounds like the premise for a wacky romantic comedy.  Involving wedgies of course.

And in case you haven't been following along, this is just another reason why I love Florida.

it got me both ways

Wow, so I am just getting home from work and I am heading out on a run but I decided that before I was allowed to I had to do a blog post.  I knew I had missed a day, I didn't realize I had missed two whole days.

That's bad.

My only excuse is that I've been working all day and have nothing else of interest to talk about.  Clearly, since the post that I was going to do was about how I got stopped by the drawbridge on my way to work and again on my way home.

I also saw a baby at work with an adorable grumpy face.

Otherwise, I've got nothing.  I bought some socks and underwear today.  Thrilling, I know.

Maybe while I'm on this run I will have an amazing brain storm for something to post.  It has happened before, it could happen again.  Since those pictures are from yesterday I can kind of justify it as long as I still do another post before midnight.  Then I will have only sort of missed one day.  I had every intention of posting the drawbridge pictures yesterday I just got distracted when I got home and forgot.

Blame kitty.  Ooh, kitty.  If nothing else, maybe I will exploit him later for attention.  As I'm typing this he is pushing books off my coffee table.  Clearly he is in need of some attention anyways.

rude

I feel bad for how much I like my new iphone, especially for how much I rolled my eyes at Ariel when she got hers and couldn't ever put it down.

The screenshots are glorious.

And Jon and I did FaceTime last night.

That's not me freezing the screen while he's talking just to be a jerk, that's one of the many faces he made continuously throughout the conversation because he was looking at himself the entire time.

It wasn't not entertaining.

The ones he took of me were decidedly more rude.

Lesson learned, always remain camera-ready when doing FaceTime with Jon.

she says, "BYE BEN"

"I'm angry!!"

haha : (

I was leaving for work the other morning and turned around to lock my door when I came face to face with this nice lady.

She always looks at me like she's never seen me before in her life.

I like her.

he made it easier

I think we look more alike now.

Haha that first one!!  : (

I like how he's so happy.

let's go to the beach-each

So for my birthday I finally joined the 21st Century and got an iphone.  Whoaoaaoaoaoa.

I love the panorama feature.  You can expect plenty more of these pics.

I also love my new haircut.

It only took half a lemon to saturate it completely!! Half!!  And I didn't have to bring any hair ties with me!!

It's truly wonderful.  I'm nervous to go to work tomorrow.  I'm already used to it and have forgotten, so when I ran in to one of my neighbors just now it caught me off guard that she was so startled.  Or when I went to Starbucks this morning and one of my favorite barista's was just standing there with her mouth open when she saw me hahaha.

It's going to be a full day of that tomorrow.  I can't wait!

: )

I really did it

I love how pleased Toni looks in this photo.  She was too!  She had my hair cut off within minutes of me sitting down in her chair.  Which was good because otherwise I'm sure I would have thrown up and called the haircut off.

But I knew I was in good hands, and so with several unsettlingly loud hacks I said goodbye to most of my 20's.

So blond, so beautiful.  Looking at it like that it doesn't look like my hair.  It really looks like barbie hair.

I was glad that Daniel came with me for moral support, and brought Gunner with him.  He felt that a fellow blond could help comfort me.  He was correct.

But after the initial shock of the ponytail cut, the rest of the haircut was fun.  The world was my oyster for styling.  When Toni asked me what I had in mind I pulled up the google image search page for Zack Morris and said, "something like this".

I am pleased with the results.

 I have been enjoying running my fingers through it, although it's odd because I instinctively go to pull it in to a ponytail in the back only to find nothing there.  Otherwise I've kind of forgotten that I ever had long hair already.  It's nice to be back to boy hair.

Daniel took more pics of the actual hair cut process, will hopefully be posting those soon along with the last pictures ever taken of my long hair by our friend Lee.  In the meantime I am going to bed early tonight so I can get up tomorrow and go to the beach.  My fresh hair is definitely not the summer blond that I'm used to.
