A day of relief

It has been 100+ degrees here in Waco for the past 2-3 weeks. Thankfully, today it is noon and only 75! I always think that because I grew up in Texas that I can stand the heat, but it is not true!

I have spent alot of my free time crafting lately. I have been making headbands to sale at the store I work in (Harts N Crafts). I have sold several! It makes me feel so great when someone buys something that I created.

My lovely friend, Jamie, made me these beautiful tags:
I think they are so 'me'!

so i didn't win the giveaways but...

I got a haircut!

I am just soo excited to have all of that hair gone! My hair was past my shoulder blades. I think i got about 7 inches off.

I probably lost a lb. of hair. My Wii fit will be so proud! ha!

It's friday! I am super excited about that since we have little to no plans this weekend. My main objective is to finish book one of Twilight. Then, perhaps, I will watch the movie?!

Baggu Grosgrain Guest GIVEAWAY!!!!

I could win some stuff so that is why i am posting these links. :)

This particular one is for reusable bags.. you know the kind you can roll up and put in your purse or keep in your car for when you go to the grocery store or Target? I am obsessed and already have plenty, but wouldn't it be exciting to win!

I am a big fan of the TV show Anthony Bourdain: No Reservations. Recently I saw the episode he did here in Central Texas with Ted Nugent. (Yes, "The Nuge" lives just outside of Waco AND his wife and son can be spotted at the church I go to every once in a while). Sooo I have lived in Waco for years and really haven't found great BBQ. On the show, Ted takes Tony to The Rusty Star BBQ in Speegleville. I figured it must be good! Well folks, my parents came into town yesterday and took me there. It was quite a disapointment! Nothing special to mention. My search for good barbeque continues! If only there were a Harold's here! Yum!

It's Friday! Britt and I are headed to his hometown this weekend to see family and continue the week-long celebration of Britt's birth just 27 years ago! It is going to be fun. I just wish the weather wasn't so yucky! I am pretty sure we are going to be driving the entire way in the rain.

Happy Weekend!

twitter

yet ANOTHER social networking site that i got sucked into. I have heard many people speak negatively toward these types of things (facebook, blogspot, xanga, etc.) and about what a waste of time they are but I do not feel the same way.

I am a social person and I feed off of social interaction. It makes me happy to be connected to people and that is why I love twitter and facebook.

I do understand that you can spend too much of your life on these sites. You could miss a bit of your own reality in your own city, but isn't it nice to know what your long lost pal is going through right now?

With that said, come follow me on twitter! http://twitter.com/HoJoDu

I like reading?!

I have read 4 or so books since Christmas. For me this is unheard of! I didn't enjoy reading until my Junior year at Baylor. I feel like I missed out on some great things by not being reader when I was younger. Better late than never I guess.
Anyways, I am attempting to read the Alchemist right now. Whomever said it was "amazing" was WrOnG! Maybe I am just thinking this since I don't exactly feel like I am seeking my "personal legend." hmmm... I think I may stop reading it and move onto Confessions of a Shopaholic in preparation for the movie.
Movie popcorn sounds pretty good right about now...
