Trauma

Well I apologize to Megan, I've been meaning to post my recent trauma stories, but haven't had the chance. Two funny stories for you all to enjoy.

One, James Mitchell was down in the Florida this last week, so I drove down to spend Thursday with him. It was tons of fun, and well worth the 5 hour solo drive both ways. We went to the beach and ate fish, etc... And guess what?! My swim-suit top blew away! Unfortunately I wasn't wearing it at the time, haha. We went swimming then went back to his parents' condo to change to go to lunch. We put our suits out on the balcony to dry - I actually made sure to put it on a chair so it wouldn't blow away. But Terry (James's dad, yeah, we're tight now) he moved it so he could sit in the chair, and the next thing he knew, it had blown away. What's funny though, is that it blew down two stories to a balcony below us. So we looked down and could see it just chilling on the ground down there. We tried to contact the people staying in the condo but they weren't around. I had to leave, so Terry did the follow-up, got the top, got my address and is going to mail me my top. I think it's pretty exciting that my guy-friend's dad is going to mail me my supported, padded bra-top bathing suit.

Two, okay, this would be better with pictcures, but I'm not sure I'm ready to display this to the world. My sister dyed my hair last night. Twice. First time, my hair turned white. Not exaggerating at all. It was horrifying. Every time I looked in the mirror, it was worse than I remembered. So at 1am, I donned a hat and went to the drug store. We dyed it a dark red the second time, and now it's orangish/strawberryish/platinum. It still looks pretty awful, but at least it looks like I could have done this on purpose. It was so bad, nobody at church even said anything. My family came home from Utah today and have all told me I look weird. It's pretty funny. Well, I findally made a noticable different. I'll probably let it be for a few weeks then try again before I head out to Calgary. : )

Life's funny, isn't it?
