Scrunchies Need Not Apply

Yep, won't need a scrunchie for quite a while.....

It's so long....and HOT.....

Aahhh......that's better......

Although I don't have the 20-second hairdo anymore, I really like it! Much cooler for the Texas weather. Interestingly, my aunt had another gal come in that day to donate hair and a gal who was recovering from cancer. Crazy!

Birthday, Part Deux

Yep, I made it through the night, and surprisingly, didn't have a hangover. Don't know how THAT happened......

The actual part of my birthday was even better! I group of my friends and I hung out for most of the day doing fun stuff.

Did I take my camera? Of course.....

Did I actually take any pictures? Of course not.....

But I can show you the results!

Stop #1Manicures and Pedicures....don't my feets look better?

Stop #2Went and saw Indiana Jones. Come on, if this movie came out on YOUR birthday, you'd go see it opening day too! Didn't hurt that it came out on a Thursday, which is College Day at the movie theater, i.e. $3.50 admittance. Fun Fact: The last time I saw my birthday as a release date on a movie poster? Mission: Impossible.

Stop #3:
The Woolie Ewe....one of the biggest LYSs in the area. First, I got a free bag for being in their Ravelry group. Second, a selection of Cascade 220 for some Christmas stockings I am making for my aunt. Next, Happy Birthday to me - a skein of Berroco Comfort Sock in Dusk (which is SO freakin' soft and just wanna roll around in it) and a Woolie Ewe mug, which the sales lady threw in for my birthday! Lastly, a lovely selection of Plymouth Happy Feet in #2, which was given to me by my friend Kerry. She "made" me pick out some yarn for my birthday.

Stop #4
Home...for a home cooked meal. Yeah, I could have gone out, but there is something to be said for making yourself a really good meal. I don't really cook for myself very often, mainly just as far as stir-fry. I mainly cook when there are more people to cook for. But then I wondered why I didn't feel like I was important enough to cook all-out for. So, that's what I did....sort of. First, the wine and cheese course:Hmmmm.....I love me some Laughing Cow Cheese.....even better with my carefully horded last bottle of "Family Reunion" wine.The main course: Roasted chicken, roasted rosemary & garlic potatoes, and corn-on-the-cob. This is where I cut corners....I just bought a roasted chicken. Frankly, it's too freakin' hot to be roasting a chicken in my apartment.

My birthday was great and I had a wonderful time. I will be adding to the fun this weekend as I head out for the weekend to go visit family. First on my list, chopping off my hair. T-minus 18 hours.....I can't wait......

Happy Birthday to ME!!!

Alright, so apparently, it has to be a holiday for me to post, seeing as the last time I posted it was Earth Day. But today is my birthday and to celebrate, I am vowing to update the blog more efficiently. (We aren't going to talk about the fact that it was also a New Year's Resolution).

So, 27 years ago today, at 12:01 am, my lovely mama gave birth to me. Even though I took my sweet time about it (23 hours), she decided to keep me around.

And when you are live in a college town and have college friends, what do you do, especially when these "college bars" have things called "birthday shots"....
My Official Birthday Dealers......my choice on Mexican Beer Night (do they have these anywhere but Texas?)........"Oh, it's your birthday?!? Lemme buy you a shot! (Red-headed Slut, if you must know....)
...My First Free-Birthday-Bar Shot (Fancy Pants - 180 Energy drink w/ a shot of vodka)........This was another "It's Your Birthday?!?"-shot (Red-headed Slut), but we just thought the picture came out really cool.....

...We found another guy celebrating his birthday, so we took free birthday shots together....
...Finished of the night with another Mexican Beer and a sandwich from the only place that was open , within walking distance.......

...on a complete side-note (follow the bouncing bunny....), I got the Veggie Sub (only 'cause my veggie friend wanted to split.) Now, don't get me wrong, I LOVE me some dead cow (or chicken), but this was truly an awesome sandwich. Even if you are a meat-lover like me, you gotta try it. End of song.

Yes, I took my camera. What kind of nerd do you think I am?!? I promise, this is not all that will happen today. Just what has happened in the first 2.5 hours of my birthday. I promise to follow up with other happenings, especially what has happened in the past month that I haven't blogged!
