hair cut!

so, i would like to start off by stating that the fact that my little brother has little to no hair at the moment is not entirely my fault. haha. ok, it might be. but in all fairness, he asked me to cut it. and i also did warn him of the possibility of unwanted side effects. but he persisted and so i took out the clippers and a little buzz here,

a little snip there,

and viola! he was ready for the army!! unfortunatley, he did not feel that he was really the army type and so, a little more buzz buzz, and viola! he now has hair that is about 1/2 an inch tall, and i have more hair cutting experience. i keep thinking, someday. someday, if i practice enough, i will actually get good at this and then i will be able to cut hair like a pro, and when my little brother asks me to cut his hair, he will know that, unless he WANTS to look like hes in the army, he wont. <3. style="font-weight:bold;">

tampons-because they work wonders.
a job-that i love and dont mind getting up for every morning.
cell phones-that allow me to communicate with my roommates at lunch when the weirdo sub shows up.
my car-because, lets face it, my car is flippin' sweet, and i love it, and it makes me smile every time i see it, and it gets me from here to there.

ihop for breakfast

its a tradition. i think. well, im not really sure. on some holiday (i think presidents day) we used to all go to breakfast as a family, usually to ihop. sometimes we decide that its whatever holiday seems to be next and i think that is what happened this time. we decided to go to ihop and get us some breakfast. i was going to be left out, how nice, luckily my brother invited me and i accepted. so i get up (earlier than i really would have hoped on a day off of work) but excited to be going to breakfast with my family. so, they show up and i get in the car and were off. it just so happens that i love my family, and i was excited to get to spend time with them, just us, not that i dont love my roommates, but sometimes it is nice to just be with your family. to be able to sit at a small enough table that everyone can hear what everyone else is saying. so that you can all be joined in one conversation. it was nice.

we also only got four menus and had to be civil and learn to share, jayce and i did just fine, on account of were good buddies and all.

my mom was there too, i like her, she makes life a hoot.

there was a point where i looked over and i believe my dad was day dreaming about when he would get his food and how tasty it would be and how much he loved to come out with his family. i caught the moment of course, and i love this picture!

also there was the brother who invited me, whom i was very grateful for, jaron! he had some good food, and some funny things to say. hes a good one (sorry ladies, hes a taken)

it was a good time. i like my family. their good people. <3.

moving the piano

so we finally convinced tania to move in!!! oh joy! happy day! yahoo! yippee! hooray! i was very excited indeed. but that is beside the point. one of the items that was to move in with tania was a piano, which also pleased me very much. only trouble was, tania had no one to help her to move the piano, and so, tania, with her sad eyes turns to me and says, "do you know any boys that could help move the piano?" well, i said i wasnt sure, but that i could check. so i did check, and sure enough, i did know some boys that would be willing to help move a piano. and so it was planned that, the boys (jaron, jayce, brian, and eric) would show up at tanias house at 4 so that they could help her to move the piano. we waited patiently at the townhouse and waited, and cleaned the spot where the piano was to reside. and then, the boys arrived, piano and all.

they looked so smashing in their sunday clothes, moving a piano. it was quite the sight. it made me very proud to know such wonderful boys who would be willing to give up their time on a sunday afternoon, right before dinner no less, to help my friend/roommate to move her piano.

all in all, the piano made it into our home and i have 4 spectacular boys (and two men) to thank for that! you guys are great! <3.

rumba!

tonight, after we went to look at cars we decided a nice rumba salad would be good. so off we went! on our way to far far away. we werent quite sure where it was so there was a little adventuring involved, but eventually we made it. i was going to take a picture of my salad to memorialize the occasion and to prove i got there. but i got it and it looked so good that i dove right in and all that was left when i remembered the picture was this:

as we were finishing we were talking and just being goofy, which is what we normally do. and all of a sudden i feel a splattering sensation on my foot and i look down and ...

christy had spilt her ranch. and it was funny. and we all laughed and christy put napkins on it and it looked kinda gross. but it was still funny. and we continued to laugh about it the rest of the night. it was an exciting and tasty time! <3.

new car shopping.

so, ive been in the process of trying to find a car to buy. ive been all over town and to many different people with no such luck. so i decided to go to the dealership where one of my roommates, christys dad works. we get there and im looking around. they had a camry which i had been looking at earlier in the day. and then i see the beatiful dodge charger.

and i was so sad because i believed it would be at least $25,000 but when i looked it said $18,000. i was quite surprised. so i looked closer. i found out it was a 2008 dodge charger with 18k miles on it. very nice i thought. so i got in to check it out.

the back seat is like, so large, its amazing. one of my biggest must haves was a back seat big enough to put a baby car seat in so that i can keep the car for a long time and have a family in it. and it passed in that category, not to mention, so so pretty. and so, of course, i had to give her a test drive. and it was a nice ride. so i went on to check out the rest of the cars, and i test drove a malibu to keep my options open. but in the end. the charger won out. so im in the misdt of trying to work stuff out to get it. but im waiting anxiously. and she is so pretty, if i didnt mention that yet. haha. <3.
