I really don’t know why I haven’t updated in so long. When I had a xanga blog, I updated all the time. Let me think about what’s been going on…

I got a haircut yesterday. Went to Avant again…new stylist…this one makes the 4th. I showed her 3 different pictures, and my hair doesn’t look like any of the 3. She gave me these hideous side bangs, which I did not ask for. We kinda got into an argument. And she cut off about 4-5 inches of hair – after I had finally grown it back out after last time’s hacking – when she was only going to cut off about an inch. I think I’m done with that place – for real this time.

So my brother Ralph (stationed in Afghanistan) is allowed to talk to us now, but he can’t tell us where he is or what he’s doing. But he got a facebook, which I think is real funny. It’s fun commenting back and forth, but then he doesn’t respond for weeks, so I get nervous. He told me to download skype, which I did the other night, so now I’m just waiting for him to come back online so that we can see/talk to each other. I’m super excited. I miss him.

So I was re-reading some of my older posts and a common thing I mentioned in some of them was how my life was just passing me by. On Friday I was at home nursing a foot injury from Thursday night’s volleyball game, so I bought and read “The Last Lecture.” It was so inspiring. Professor Randy Pausch lived his life to the fullest, right up until his death. So I started to come up with my own list of things to do in 2009. Some of them are ways to be more brave (go skydiving) but most of them are personal enrichment things (get my first manicure, read 35 books this year, go to the movies 2-3 times a month, try a new food once a month, etc). Anywho, I was telling Denise about my list, and she thought it was lame. That’s nice. Apparently my list should include things like give a guy my phone number, ask a guy out on a date, etc. Though it would be nice to go on a date every now and then, I don’t think my list needs to encompass every possible way to talk to a guy. I don’t understand why my friends can’t be more supportive of me. It’s like when I told one of them that I bought 5 cookbooks the other day – his response was “yeah, like those will ever get used.” Wowsers. I’ve already tried 3 recipes.

This entry is getting a bit too text heavy, so I’m going to cut it short. I’m going to start posting more pictures and fun things and try not to complain so much.
