Random Updates

Well, I haven’t blogged in a while. That’s probably an understatement. I feel like I’ve been so busy, between work and church and commuting and The Office that’s started up again. Speaking of The Office – how good is that show?! Seriously! I have to admit I was incredibly disappointed with the first of the new shows that was on a couple weeks ago, but last weeks episode (on 4/17) was AWESOME! They packed so much funny goodness into 21 minutes, it’s amazing. By the way, Lost starts up again on Thursday, which I am incredibly excited about. My two favorite shows in one night! Can it get any better than that?! Uh-oh. I wonder if they’re on at the same time on different channels. . .

I am flying back home on Thursday afternoon for a long weekend to see my sister graduate from college. That’s right – college! Totally weird. I feel so old. Can’t wait to see everyone.

I’ve been noticing lately that there are some very cool trees out here in PA. Some of what I think are Japanese Cherry Blossoms. . .don’t know for sure if that’s the name, but I recall seeing a picture on a bottle of lotion from Bath and Body Works by the same name. Other cool trees too. Like small versions of Weeping Willows with pink blossoms on them. Others that are smallish with lots of white blossoms. I’m loving all the flowers! I think all the blossoms will fall off in a little while, leaving just the tree with leaves. But I’m really trying to enjoy them in the meantime.

We’ve had wasps in our apartment. I think we found about 5 within a two day period. And Michael killed them all because I’m a weenie.

Our laptop crashed last week. That was a real treat. I didn’t have too much saved on there; thankfully I had saved most of my pictures to CDs a month or two ago. But unfortunately, Michael had many of his old sermons and church work stuff on there. To top it off, he was 95% finished with his message for this past Sunday, which was, of course, saved on the laptop.

I cut my hair short. Not intentionally. I went to a cool place to get it colored and trimmed. The color turned out great – I went darker. . .closer to my natural color. But she cut it really weird. WAY too many and very short layers. It looked like I had a mullet on the right side of my head. I went back a couple days later because I just couldn’t handle it. The next girl I saw cut up the bottom to make it look more normal. So now I have a hair length that’s a few inches above my shoulders. Don’t you just love when that happens? Especially when you’re trying to grow out your hair? (And you’ve communicated that to the hairstylist?!) The end result isn’t bad. In fact, I kind of like it curly; it’s fun. Just depressing to think that this is the exact same haircut I had my senior year of college. And sad when I’m looking in the mirror and see that, though it’s the same cut, I look completely different – then realize it’s because I’m older. And look it.
UPDATE: We were able to get everything off of our old hard drive! The tech guy at my work recommended buying a particular device, and it worked. PTL.
