Twenty-Three

Last thursday (Jan 20th) was Joe's 23rd birthday. We had a little party at my parents' house.

His lemon cupcakes with lemon frosting.

Opening up his motorcycle cover.

His new UofA hat I found at Dollar General for 7 bucks.

TIKI!

My conversation with subconscious Joe last night.

Joe: OH!!
Me: What??
Joe: Mmmmm....
Me: What?
Joe: Tiki. (I thought he said Stinky cuz he kind of mumbled it.)
Me: What? Stinky?
Joe: Nooo... TIKI.
Me: Tiki?
Joe: Mmmm-hmmm.
Me: Where?

Then he started pointing to the wall. Guess I'll never know.

Cuddly Joe

Funny things happened the last couple nights. I havn't heard from subconcious Joe in a while so this was suprising and pretty hilarious. First one, two nights ago, he said: "There were hands that were ducks." Not sure what that was about. but the next one was way better! Last night, he rolled over to the edge of the bed, stuck his bottom out, mumbled something unintelligible, and farted LOUD. Then he said, "Yep." I was holding my breath so I wouldn't wake him up from laughing so hard! Then he grabbed the blanket, pulld it up around his head and cuddled with it. It was very cute... hehe.

Blonde

I've been fighting the internal battle over whether dying my hair blonde is a good thing to do or not for quite some time. The insane side finally won two days ago and this is what came of it.
It's more red than I wanted it to be. But other than that I like it. That and the fact that there's some spots that kind of got missed. Joe's the one that helped me do it and that was possibly a mistake... but I didn't want to tell my family until I visited them, so I didn't want my mom or my sister to help me do it. And I've never done it myself before so I needed help. He did a pretty good job though, the reason there's missed places is because we ran out of dye. But I'll need to dye it again in not too long because my roots are gonna start coming in and then it'll look horrible... so I'm not that worried about it. I'll just get two boxes next time I guess. I just wish it wasn't so red. That will probably fade though, red always fades really fast. I was also really scared that it wasn't gonna look good on me. But I like it. I'll always love my dark hair the best... but I like to try different things. You think it looks good? I might try it lighter sometime... it's not that light. It's more light reddish brown than blonde... Also I sometime want to try dying the under bottom half of my hair darker. Maybe. I've gotta try everything! It's really weird cuz I used to be so scared of dying my hair... now I love it! I love trying different things.

I got a dollar, I got a dollar. I got a dollar hey hey hey hey!

So I was sitting on my couch on my laptop, and suddenly there's this frantic knocking at the door. Right before I got to the door I heard "It's Sherry!" I was like, who the crap's Sherry? I opened it and there's a weird, really talkitive crazy lady asking if I owned a duck. I was like, "Uh, no..." I know, random! She said, "This crazy HUGE duck is just following me everywhere I go! I walk down the street and there's the duck just following me!" She made me come outside to look at it. And sure enough, there was a pretty gigantic duck at the bottom of the stairs. "See it? You see that duck?!" I'm pretty positive it was a goose. She talked a lot and really fast so I can't remember a lot of what she said. But she asked me if I knew anyone who owned a duck or if I knew where it lived. I was like, "Um, I have absolutely no idea! Please leave now!" I didn't say that last part but I was thinking it. She seemed just a teeny tiny bit on the tipsy side. Maybe she wasn't, but she was very laughy. The only place I could think of where there are geese is the park by the fair grounds. I suppose it could have waddled from there? That's a long way for a goose to wander though. She was like "What do I do?!" Pshhh haha I don't know! She asked if I wanted to take it and call animal control. I was like HECK NO! I don't want a goose in my house! And I don't want to call anyone... "Hello, I found a goose. I don't know whose it is but it's in my apartment. Come get it please!" I just told her we weren't allowed to have animals in the apartment. This is probly the only time I'll ever be glad to live in a 'no pets' apartment. She just kept saying "What do I do?!" and laughing a lot. It was quite amusing. Finally she just said "Well... I guess I'll just take it home.... figure out what to do...." Bahaha. So if you've lost a really big duck.... she's got it.

Merry Christmas!

I know this is late. I'm even out of order because Christmas was before our trip. But oh well. Anyway we had a good Christmas. When is Christmas not a good one? I got some SUPER CUTE shoes! From Joe. I picked them out... but I didn't get them till Christmas. I love them. Joe also got some shoes that he can wear to church, with a heel on them so I'm not taller than him :) haha. They're blue with black lace over them. I love them! And I love my Joe.
That's pretty much all I got for Christmas... except for some money from my parents and our own hotel room for two nights in San Antonio. Joe had something else in mind for me but he was never able to find it... he's still looking. I still don't know what it was.
Anyway, I don't have much else to say for now. I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas!

Lotsa Words, Lotsa Pichers.

If you are planning to go to Six Flags, and you're planning to go to the one in San Antonio, and you tell me you are excited, then I will say this: "Um, slow down there mister excitey pants. Don't go to San Antonio if you want to ride roller coasters." That's right, it was a dissapointment. There weren't very many rides anyway but only about 3 of them were open. Not to mention all the "technical difficulties" they were all having. Goliath was open (thank goodness) and two or three others... the Boomerang, which was fun, and the rocket thing that shoots you up one billion feet in the air. (Joe didn't like that one, hehe.) Twice we had to leave the line for a ride because of technical difficulties. It was very annoying. Buuuuuut, there WAS a ginormous 60 foot Christmas tree! So, if you say you're going to Six Flags in San Antonio, I will say that they have a super duper gigantuous Christmas tree that is awesomeness to look at.

I know this picture is blurry, but just look how big that tree is!

Other than the fun yet disapointing Six Flags, we did so many other things. Our hotel was right on the Riverwalk so we got to walk on it everywhere we went basically. The last two nights Joe and I stayed in a different hotel from the rest of my family which wasn't too far away. We would just walk through the Riverwalk. It was so pretty and the buildings and pathways were so old-timey.

My cute husband.Doesn't that just look awesome??This picture would be super cute if it wasn't so blurry... (Dad's a little camera retarded.)He's so sillyThis wasn't down on the Riverwalk but up on the street. I just think it looks super cool.

This is WAY out of order but oh well. You probly don't care. Anyway, we visited the Alamo. I usually, most often, always, never like museums and history type things... but this was really cool! I even wanted to buy a shirt at the Alamo gift shop. But it was almost 20 bucks and I'm poor and my Dad wouldn't buy it for me even though he said he wanted to. He was probly lying. Joe and I did get a mug though... We get mugs from all the places we go. We got a Six Flags mug too. It has all the Looney Tunes guys on it. We got one from Sea World and the San Diego Zoo when we went to San Diego last summer. Anyway here's us at the Alamo.

Some HUGE fish in the pond thing at the Alamo. They were like three feet long! Maybe not... but they were big. That one yellow one on the right looked like he got his face blown off in battle. Like he was rotting or something...

The first whole day we were there was the U of A game against Oklahoma State. We didn't do so well...

Joe is so silly.A cute pic of the girls. Just try to ignore Ron Weasley back there.I tried to get the field behind us but it didn't work. Oh well.

The last day we were there we visited this catholic cathedral. It was very strange... everyone was praying together... it was just strange. But on the outside it was huge and really pretty.

Random picture... there was this little tiny Chinese shop at the mall in San Antonio. Haha
