midnight madness!

midnight madness is when the waterslides are open until midnight. the theme this year is lady gaga (yuck) and it is happening tomorrow night. i want to go, despite the awful theme. we might have extra tickets at the radio station. which would be sweet.

not only am i on an ongoing search for the perfect shoes for the wedding, a pair of little gloves, but ALSO... a hair style. i also need a new 'do just in general. any suggestions anyone? something you think would look good on me? without cutting it all off... because i want to keep it longer. it has been a LOOOOONNNNGGGG time since my hair has been this long, and i feel like i need to do something with it that i haven't been able to do. ya know?

i got the first thing that i ordered on etsy. i was super excited. they are FANTASTIC feather earrings. although my mother so kindly told me they look weird with my still slightly stretched holes, i like them and they make me feel much better about my ear situation. they're really cool. i have gotten a few compliments on them already. i am excited to wear earrings again. i haven't been able to wear pretty and dangley earrings for years. about 6 years to be exact. and before that, i didn't anyway. they weren't cool. but they make me feel so much more feminine and pretty. just that little bit of something special.

i don't really have much to write about... tyler and i finished the 4th season of dexter. i was really mad about the end of it. so lame! i am really putting a push on to finish the baby quilt i have been working on since MAY. thats right. MAY. the baby was born the end of april. i suck. but i HAVE to finish it. so i will. very very very soon. i also a disgusting mountain of dishes in my kitchen to clean. they have been sitting there for a while now. we ran out of dish soap and i kept forgetting to pick it up. finally i got tyler to do it so i would stop forgetting... now just to find some time?

my mom and i have been making meals together, which is really nice. we pre did all the stuff for bombay roll ups and made white bean and tomato soup. i froze a bunch. it was really good!! i actually have a bit of a selection in my freezer, which is nice. we are making veggie burgers, saigon salad, banana bread, and something else tomorrow. its nice to have good homemade food done before hand so i can eat something that isn't awful for me (or super fattening). and my mom and i work really well together in the kitchen. we picked some raspberries this morning. two flats. one each. we're also supposed to make jam! i looooove raspberry jam. but not the store bought kind. too much sugar. gross. homemade is the way to go!!

anyway... i'm just random babbling now.

ps. i THINK i have a derby name that will be accepted. pretty stoked. i'll let you all know when it is accepted!
