It's Me Manifesto!

Adam, I stand corrected on my Boy Meets World triva. In Season 3 the boy's bathroom is also often Mr. Feeny's office, except for one episode in which it's the guidance counseler's office. I bought the season 3 DVD on the day it came out this past Tuesday. It was a bit anticlimactic. (Not anticlimatic. Anticlimatic means that you're against the weather. I learned that on Joan of Arcadia.) There were no commentaries or anything. They did a lot of growing up in season 3. It's a pretty different season from the second one.
Wow. I sound like an addict. I could quit anytime I wanted to. I just don't want to. :)
I'm getting ready to start a new week. I need to clean more in my room so they can more easily clean the carpet. I'm highly unmotivated to do most of it.
Ah well.

It looks like I'm happy with the results. :) It's great to have "real hair". Like not just stuff that I pull back so it doesn't drive me crazy. Overall, it was a great experience. It might have been the first time that I've gone to get my haircut in recent memory that I haven't had a friend go with me. How brave I am. :) I had the hardest time finding the place, and arrived about 20 minutes late, but finally had 10" cut off my hair, had highlights, and had it layered by Thomas at Andrew Taylore hair design. http://www.andrewtaylorehd.com/thomaspromo.htm
http://www.andrewtaylorehd.com/index.htm Thomas used to live in southern California when he was studying his craft and told me that it's more expensive to live there than in the metro DC area. That makes me feel better. :) At least I'm not living in the MOST expensive place in the country. :) This hair place was well hidden. It was in the brick office development like on the basement/ground level. Overall, it was a great experience. And I have real hair. :) Now I've gotta walk to Wal-Mart to buy some mousse.

I'm scheduled to get my hair cut today! If I'm happy with the results, maybe I'll post an "after" picture. Today I was watching some of "I Lost It" on Discovery Health. This is a show that tells how people lost weight. One guy was over 600 pounds! He's now down to just over 300. I was slightly motivated to get in shape. Then I walked to the kitchen to get a cookie. I have this idea for a patchwork tanktop dress thing. Here are some of the squares I've cut all laid out. Some of them on the bottom are the ones that I don't know what to do with at this point. They likely won't be sewn in this order, but this give you an idea, anyway. I'm pretty sure I have over 100 squares cut! We'll see. I hope it doesn't turn into a tube with straps on it. :) Leave a message. I need to get in the shower in the next 30 minutes - an hour. I love having a day off!


I should rename this blog "Adventures of Girl Living Away from Home". So, it's a Sunday morning. What am I going to wear to work/church? Here's an idea! I'll wear that trusty old standby, the pink interview shirt! Hmmm... did you know that whatever blend this shirt is/was doesn't iron at the same temperature as cotton? I'm sorry, Amity! Thanks for helping me pick out this shirt that served me so well through interviews in at least 3 different states!





As promised, here are pictures from my successful attempt at cooking broccoli casserole and homemade macaroni and cheese. There's still some broccoli casserole in my freezer if anyone wants any. :) Yeah, that's a LOT of food!

Guess what I did on Friday night!?!? I cooked dinner. Like COOKED dinner. Well, the sides, anyway. I mean, not french toast, stir fry, Kraft mac & cheese, or pesto where the pesto sauce is already in a jar. I made homemade macaroni and cheese and broccoli (I can never remember if there's 2 c's, or 2 l's) casserole! I made a lot of it, too. I think I'm gonna freeze it today. Look for pictures soon.
There's a band called the "Newsboys", and my old apartmentmate Jill and I had talked awhile back about how their lyrics don't make sense. For example: "Washed by the sun, dried by the rain..." So, today on my way to work/church I was listening to this song "Million Pieces". I had thought that the lyrics said: "What a freefall, what a thrill, bury them all in an ant hill". Doesn't make much sense. Who buries anything in an ant hill, right? But today I discovered that it says landfill not ant hill. :) Nothing like cracking yourself up when you're by yourself.

Don't have much time, so I'm gonna type really fast. :) So, I went to Screen on the Green again and we saw "Suspicion" this time (an Alfred Hitchcock movie). It was really funny because we were farther back and a lot of times in this movie there will be shots where someone has received a letter or something written that is important to the plot, and they just show the letter. Well, we were so far back, that we couldn't read it all! It was pretty funny. I rode the Metro in with Laura, Brad, Sarah and Heather. We had a larger group there this time, but 3 of the guys that came left before it was over. I'm hoping that the other Sarah might be able to come this week. (My roommate from College who lives near Baltimore.) She's been at camp for about a month counselloring :).
Well, I best get back to work. I think I might have found a Christmas musical during my lunch break! "Mayhem in Bethlehem". Check it out: www.praisegathering.com .
