Cell phone

I realized that it had been a while since I last wrote anything...
This is just a tribute to my blondeness. No joke.
I don't like having a cell phone, but it seems to never leave my side. Literally. It sits on my bedside table because it wakes me up better than my other alarm clock because every morning it really sounds like someone is calling me. Tribute Number 1.
Number 2. I don't like charging it at night but can't seem to remember to charge it during the day, so therefore it gets charged at night. Make sense? The reason I don't like charging it at night is because when it is plugged in, the light on the front screen stays on. Then that wakes me up in the middle of the night. I don't know why, but it does. I seriously realized last night that if I plug it in, and then turn it over, I don't have that problem.
I know. I told my dad this today, and he just laughed at me. At the time I thought that I was a total genius, but the more I thought about it the more I realized that no, not a genius, just a tad bit blonde.
Anyway. I have some pictures coming soon!!

Chicago... FX day 2

This is the mask that will eventually be painted and glued to my face... it started out as a clown with gross teeth...









Yes... that is me, aren't Ibeautiful!?!?!?!?









I look a little weird, because my eyes are closed... If you click on the picture you can see everything close up.










Here is me and Lisa... she was the mastermind behind making me look like this "girl" instead of a clown, thank goodness.











All three of us are wearing the same mask, but they were all painted way different!!

FX class... Day 1


This is after the first step... layer on the latex.

This is with all the paint and everything to make me look... well... gross.

This is about step two.

I have leprosy (sp?) in this one... Not a good look.
This is with our instructor, Dave, he was pretty awesome!!

Lisa and I are taking an FX class in Chicago this weekend... actually I am Lisa's "model." In other words, I am learning right along with her for free!!!
We have another day tomorrow, so I will post more tomorrow night!!

Car ride to Chicago!!


Sirena watching the movie...

At one point, we were watching two movies (Underdog, and Girls Just Want to Have Fun) on three screens. As Lisa said... "Gone are the days of the kids fighting in the back seat."

Olivia watching the movie...

Josiah doing something...

If you look really close there is a rubber chicken strapped to the back of his bike.

This was the cheesecake at I got for my birthday at Cheesecake factory... I was trying to hold this one up, and it fell over and made a mess. Oh well.

The book I got from my brother, I love the classic Nancy Drew books, and I am trying to collect them all. I also got the vintage cake stand from my sister!! I had been looking for one for ages, and she found this super cute one!!














I had a pretty fun birthday, and it lasted all weekend. Who doesn't love that!!?!!
