- Finally got my hair cut last weekend.
I always go for about a year after donating my hair before I am willing to
allow scissors near it again... What?! It is SCARRING to cut off that much hair
at one time! Even if it is for a good cause!!
Shorter
bangs. Now if I could just stop touching them and making them look greasy
half-way through the day........
- I got some super sparkly Sally
Hansen nail polish strippy things because I like sparkly things... I’m kind of
like a magpie that way...
So very
festive – it’s like a party on my nails.
- We’ve been watching a lot of Doctor
Who lately. I kept hearing about it, so I decided that I wanted to see what it
was all about. Now I’m hooked. And I cannot stop laughing whenever the Daleks
are on the screen. Seriously – they have plungers and paint rollers (without
the brush on it) for weapons and have you seen them fly??? So awkward. We’re
about two and a half-ish seasons into it and I am loving it. I just have to say
– if the entire crowd doesn’t disappear during the opening ceremonies of the
London Olympics, I’m going to be very disappointed.
See? The most
awkward killing machine of all time ever. Photo from here.
- I have a Dalek shouting "EXTERMINATE" as my text message notification right now and it makes me jump every time! I want to get one shouting "DO NOT BLASPHEME" instead, but haven't found it yet...
- I am super excited that Hell’s
Kitchen and Masterchef are back. I can’t help myself – I love watching Gordon
Ramsey yell at people. Although I was very frustrated with him the other night when he yelled at the guy for pairing duck and bananas. He need to take a trip to our favorite restaurant in Dana Point, CA to Gemmell's Restaurant and talk to Chef Byron. Duck and bananas go beautifully together!
- The diet continues. Slowly but
surely..... Down – hold on... Gotta do some math in my head here... Not exactly
my strong suit anymore... – 47.5 pounds. I still have another 20+ pounds or so
to go. Maybe more, maybe less... I have a number in my head, but I may aim for
lower or I may be happy with higher... We’ll see. All I know is that I am never
going back there again.
- The water heater and windows WERE
NOT my birthday present! Yay!! J got me a GPS for my quad. I also got the milk
bottle measuring cups from Anthropologie that I’d been wanting, a book of
Japanese cat fashion, a pen shaped like a cat, fun nail polishes, a cute tote
bag, and a butterfly in a jar – among other things. The butterfly is not real –
but it flits around in the jar when you touch it and scares the bejeezus out of
people in my office when they look at it.
No
butterflies were harmed in the making of this jar.....
SO cute!

- Went to see Hunger Games on my
birthday. It was pretty good. I was expecting.... I don’t know... Just more, I guess. I don’t know how to
describe it. I wasn’t unhappy with
it... I guess that’s good enough. We also went to see The Avengers that
weekend. It was AWESOME. I was cracking up through most of the movie. If you go
see it, stay until after the credits – it may not be a long clip, but it was
worth it.
- I got myself gummy vitamins. Because
apparently I’m a 5-year-old... I kept wanting them and then remembered that I
am an adult that can buy what she wants, so I got them. They are delicious.
- I’m getting kind of bored with riding
my bike each night... I kinda sorta maybe want to start running, but I don’t
want to wake up early and it’s too hot in the evening when I get home from work
and I wish I could run on the track at the high school by my house because it’s
nice and level and there are creepy bushes on the bike path by my house that I
swear a homicidal maniac is gonna pop out of and.... About eleventy billion
other excuses. J says he wants to start running too... I keep telling him we
can go together... Hasn’t happened yet. We’ll see.
- I got both seasons of The Monkees on
DVD. I am so extremely nerdtastically excited about this. I really don’t know
what took me so long to buy them!
So.... yeah. That’s about it. I could
use a nap (3 – 5 hours of sleep would be a “nap”, right?) and I wish I had more
time to read, but otherwise things are good.
