Lately I've been considering cutting my hair. Not much just a few inches. Because my hair is really thin, so when it get's long, it tends to be all stringy 'n' icky 'n' stuff. So being the wonderful older sis she is, Big took Issy and I out to get our hair cut and shop 'n' stuff. I told lady that I wanted it an inch ot two below the top of my shoulder. When she finished, my hair baely reached the top of my shoulder! Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! I don't care how awful my poor, poor hair looked, it couldn't have been this bad! I hate short hair, and I really hate the style I have to do now! It's big n poofy n I look like some kinda FREAK! Whaaaaaaaaaa! And almost everyone else loves it. "Mary, your hair is so cute! Oh, it's adorable!" But it get's worse. They all think that I love it too! Whaaaaaaaaa! I want my hair back. NOW! *sniff. sniff.*
So how was your day?
A few hours before I cut my hair. (Icky, I know. That's why I wanted to cut it.)
A few hours after I cut my hair. *sniff. sniff*
More awful pictures to come.
K, this section is for Anna, so if you've heard about the surprise party for Becky, just skip this.
Two Saturdays ago was Becky Garrett's 20th birthday. That Sunday Sara took her out shopping 'n' stuff between services, so when we surprised her this last Sunday with a huge party, she wasn't expecting a thing. It was the Impact group about 30 people ranging in age from 13 to 26. We had a potluck lunch and played games for a few hours.
OK, you need to know about the loud speaker system in our church. It's designed so that you can hear the preacher in the nursery and the fellowship hall. When the Impact group has events at the church, we use it to play music, so just as always, we had music playing. All of a sudden there was an awful noise and then we heard Josh Lindeken's voice over the loud speaker. A few moments later Robert Cunningham joined in. Apparently they had decided that we needed a couple of D.J.'s, so being the dutiful young men they are, they assumed the role. It was hilarious!
A bit later Rachel Lindeken "called in" (using cell phones) and asked why the sky was blue. I don't remember what Robert's anwer was, but it was funny. Several more people called in including me. I was Jonni French, a sweet girl with a bit of a southern accent. He couldn't figure out who it was. I kept 'im guessing for quite a while until Big told him who it was.
After a couple of hours of game playing and messin' with the D.J.'s, we decided to walk to Horse Shoe Lake Park. We all went in a few small groups instead of one big one. Rachel Donald and I talked quite a bit. We like to walk while we talk, so we walked to the park, the long way back to the church, and then back to the park. Then we jumbled groups a bit, and I walked back to the church with mostly Lindeken's. We had pizza for din din went to evening service. All in all, it was a great day.
