Hey Big Haircut!

i finally got my hair cut today! the last time was last december! i'm trying to see how long i can stand it, so it was just a trim and i got it thinned out. and then courtney taught me how to wear it curly!



i feel like it's weird but that's probably because i've never left it like this. it's what my hair does naturally. i'm going to be brave and wear it like this to work tomorrow. we'll see how it goes.

Halloween Dress Rehearsal.

we took most of the boxes out of our utility room and now this is scampi's favorite spot. i love her phone book pillow. that bench is from a mule cart! i love it! we really need to paint that window frame. it looks kind of ridiculous with the white underneath.

today was the most fun day i've had in a LONG time. travis made pancakes for breakfast, we cleaned, and then crystal came over! the main purpose was to watch the new russell brand dvd i bought, and to go to performance studios to do some research for her halloween costume. we ended up doing a "makeup test" and it was so freaking fun! to bad my house is really dark so these pictures are all colored strangely. the makeup was more teal than green.

before:

she taught me about ratting my hair. my hair is actually long enough to tease up now!

ok, if you didn't guess, we were basing our looking on mrs. argentina from beetlejuice. the receptionist remember?
i bought lipstick for the first time ever!

wrist slit of course. the makeup was awesome. it smelled like coconut and had shea butter in it, and felt great on. and it didn't make your skin feel terrible after you took it off. love it.

i don't have as many photo props at my house as crystal does. we're going to do this for the zombie walk too. we're going to go thrifting for cute dresses on monday.

this is my new wig! i got it for 5 bucks! i love it so much!

oh man we had so much fun. we listened to the party monster soundtrack and crystal taught me about eye liner and made my hair huge! then we danced and made dinner and i felt so glamourous making dinner with my tiara. travis and marc came home and i made them my new specialty, cream of tomato soup. then we played disney scene it (i got it for a dollar at an estate sale) and marc was surprisingly awesome at it.

today: in great detail

i love cats

ok, if you like cats you have to watch this ikea commercial. it is completely perfect.





kyle showed it to me, and after it was over he turned to me and asked "are you about the CRY!?" because i totally was because i loved it so much. seriously, if you are a cat fan you're going to love it.

a sandwich masterpiece

i made this really awesome sandwich today and i wanted to take a good picture and tell you about it, but i was so excited to eat it that i only took this crummy one. but i'm going to post it anyway.


it was a rosemary bagette, and i put some earth balance and vegenaise on it, then melted some garlic paprika jack cheese one it, added some veggie bologna and baby greens. on man it was so good! travis and i sat on our back patio and ate them.



she loves eating greens apparently! she went crazy for them and wouldn't stop eating them! she is also crazy about carrots.



what a sweet little thing!



i bought a pumpkin today! i'm so excited for fall!


the other night i met marissa and kyle downtown for this "live on the green" concert series thing. most of the bands aren't anything i want to see (sixpence none the richer? five for fighting?) but dr. dog was the headliner! i was very excited!


i stood behind some really enthusiastic boys with ironic facial hair and one kept putting his ponytail in my face! but other than that it was awesome. after the show we walked a block to kyle's office to kill time while we waited for traffic to die down. so we watched youtube videos for an hour and a half. it was so fun! drunk history and lots of cute animal videos. omg have you seen the ikea commercial with the cats! i'll give it it's own post because it's the BEST commercial i've ever seen!

I love free summer movies

Little blackie is gone and adopted. i got travis to take him before i woke up so i wouldn't cry. we're taking a break from fostering. i don't know if i can handle it. i'm too much of a baby who gets too attached.

i bought the new weezer album (after i said i wouldn't) and was pleasantly surprised! it's actually good.

the other night we went to the last free belcourt movie of the season.

we were almost to Shakespeare in the park, but decided this would be more fun. we took burritos to eat, as usual.


little miss old lady face got to come! it's finally cool enough for her to be out again. she gets so much attention when we go out. and she loves it. what a precious baby.



they passed out glow sticks which are so fun to have at an outside movie for some reason. before the movie they played lots of funny old ads and previews.


the movie was turned up REALLY loud, so it wasn't as enjoyable as i wanted. and there was a stupid girl next to us who kept reciting movie lines, a few seconds before it was on screen. ugh i hate that!


after the movie we went to sweet cece's and got ice cream. it's open until midnight on the weekends! perfect! i love that place so much i've already filled up two frequent buyer cards.
