Make-Over

It was my birthday a couple days ago. Came home from work that evening and a beautiful cake was waiting for me on the kitchen counter. How sweet...

Yesterday, I decided to get a haircut. I'm bored with my look, work, routine and life in general. Since the only thing I can do something with is my looks, I headed to the salon for some make-over. My hairstylist was Amanda and she likes to talk. Worse, she talks with her hands! She kept me awake because I was worried she might poke my eyeballs out! She's nice and very helpful, but I'm not too fond of the result. I don't know why people here just don't get what layered look is all about! Even if I brought a picture! It's times like these when I wish I was back home...

Nothing much is happening over here. It's summer and we are enjoying the sun. We went to a couple camping trips so far and it was fun! During the day we hiked and biked and explored nature. At night, Rick builds a campfire, grill some steaks or brats for supper, while I sit and read my book. Very relaxing... After supper we sit around the campfire share stories while waiting for my s'mores to be done. Yum!

Camping is not all fun though, I hated it when spiders crawl on my legs, or when bugs refuse to leave me alone and just keeps buzzing in my ear! I even slapped myself hard a few times because of those bugs. Ouch! One time, there was a raccoon on our picnic table! It was fun watching it walk around looking for food. Then the neighbor came over to warn us about a bear lurking around too...

I am looking forward to doing some more camping, the s'mores trumps the insects, the raccoon and the bear in the woods! It is nice to be able to explore nature and enjoy a couple days away from technology and play scrabble for entertainment. Rick and I were able to spend quality time together. Literally. And I like that. But for now, I have to work and save up for more trips.

Oh, if you didn't notice, my blog has a new look! I like it and I hope do as well!
