Hookah!

I just added over 300 pictures to my Facebook, dating back to 2004. I got up to the beginning of 2007 and then Matt and Amber came over, so I quit (for now). Just a quick side note: I have over 10,000 pictures on my computer, I have never deleted any pictures that I take (except for the bloopers or the blurry ones that didn't make the cut)... So let's just say that our 320 GB external harddrive is about 90% full between photos and music. There is nothing like sitting back and looking at old pictures. Last night we played Rockband, Scene It!, and watched I Am Legend with Matt and Amber. I never really get sick (the bad kind) of that movie. It's pretty sick (the good kind). I hadn't seen Matt and Amber since James' 21st birthday, so it's been over a year. It was awesome hanging out, I love them because they share my twisted, sarcastic sense of humor. Plus, Matt and I go way back to the 9th grade at Central High School where we listened to "emo" songs by The Postal Service and Dashboard all the time. Our new HOOKAH STUFF is going to be delivered to our doorstep via UPS today and I am SO EXCITED. We haven't had any shisha in literally 4-5 months. That, my friend, was very hard. We ordered more natural coals, a new bowl, foils, and the following flavors (all Starbuzz): Kiwi-Strawberry, Watermelon, Black Grape, Jasmine, Vanilla, Blue Myst, and Tangerine Dream. This is our (other) baby, in black.

Ps, my sister, Rachel, is going to be staying with us for a whole week beginning July 6th. My Mom and Tyler are going on vacation to Chicago, so Rachel is going to watch Gavyn for us while she's gone. She's really excited to stay here, and we're really excited that we get to sleep in an extra 15 minutes or so instead of having to drop Gavyn off. ;)

Really?

Ed McMahon, Farrah Fawcett, Michael Jackson... And now Billy Mays?

Chi-Town.

A friend from work, Robbyn, gave me this adorable Marciano dress. When I put it on I practically started jumping up and down it was so cute. I can't wait to put this little baby to use. Now to find somewhere fancy enough in our surrounding area to wear it...

We're starting to plan our vacation to Chicago. I don't really want to talk about it, so I won't go into detail, but my Grandma's memory isn't what it used to be. She doesn't want to fly to Florida anymore, so we're going there to see her and all of my family, probably for a week. We have two weeks paid vacation each come September, but we'll probably save the second week for our yearly trip to Disney World. Plus, we'll probably leave on a Friday and have to be back on Wednesday for me to be back to class on Thursday.

Other than that, not much is new. We have a new incentive program at work where I'm making quite a bit of extra cash, so I'm going to save that up for our vacation. And maybe for a nice pair of black heels to go with this dress ;)

Useless Information.

I cut Gavyn's hair a few weeks ago. Then yesterday I cut my hair and both of my sister's hair. I took a picture with the "new" hair (it doesn't look any different, it's just lacking the split ends that it had grown accustomed to)... And my hair looks really dark here. It's actually a lot lighter. It's like a light auburn color, which is my natural color. Immediately after I put this picture up I had people asking if I dyed it. When I said no, they requested that I dye it. While I do think it would look pretty if it were dark, I want to keep my hair long and its natural color for as long as I can. Once I'm older, I will be forced to have shorter hair and cover up my grays with pretty (dark) auburn colored hairs. So for now, it will remain a slightly lighter version of the color shown in the picture. Good night.
