I did something kinda crazy...

I've been delaying this post because I was waiting for some good pictures of my hair but i'm pretty sure that won't be for a few months so here it goes anyway!

A long time ago my roommates and I all decided to cut off 10inches of our hair and donate it. A week later we all chickened out, one boy in my ward was so pleased at this decision that he made us 'angel-hair pasta' for dinner! It was that day that Maddy and Lexie decided again that they should cut their hair. At the last minute I secretly decided to join them again.

I wanted to surprise everyone, and I think its safe to say that I did!!

hello again!

At the risk of becoming one of those people that start/stop blogs at their pleasure, i've decided to take another whack at sharing my life with those of you that care!!

Luckily I have something really good to start back up again with :D

Today was the festival of colors at the local hindu temple, so naturally we decided to go along, video camera in tow (thanks mum!) to celebrate the religiousness!

So Mature

Today I proved my adulthood once and for all by voting!

Never before had I noticed the remarkable difference between 18 year olds and 17 year olds. Today for some reason it became amazing clear.. Several times I found myself forced to comment "...and that is why 17 year olds cannot vote!!"

why yes, I do have mad skills!!

Despite the fact that i've basically given up on blogger, i've not yet received enough praise for my first major accomplishment as a crochet-er. Although a blanket is hardly more advanced than a scarf - I think it's pretty!!

The Challenge!

This week my sisters and i have had a hard core challenge going, to not eat sugar for a whole week. To sweeten the pot a little, we each got one freebie. I've been saving mine all week, passing up all sorts of treats and goodies. Hardest of all was watching my mum bake hot cookies and not snaffle anything!

That right there is self control!

Last night i used my freebie. The little girl i babysit made a cake and was so excited for me to try it, i just couldn't say no. It tasted okay but the memory may not be enough to get me through Sunday completely sugarless! I'm such a good person!

my welsh adventure

This weekend i had to take my SATs, but just to be different i took it in Wales, in a castle!! I was there for six long hours, totally convinced i was in Harry Potter the entire time. Luckily it was a totally modern castle. The holes in the wall had become windows, the courtyard became a sports field and the torture chamber became the girls toilets!

family day out

Yesterday for our family, represented some conflicts of interest...

my parents felt the urge as they sometimes do to 'get cultured' and so took us to the maharaja exhibition, which we did not find too amusing...

the tables turned when we did a spot of shopping, pleasing Cori and I greatly, but for some reason not my mother...

luckily, the pot was then sweetened all round, when we went to try a new Brazilian restaurant - where everyone is happy!!
