-Take a walking tour of your town. Meander from the park on the east side to the park on the west side and revel in the fact that all the rain from the past week has made everything a thousand different shades of green.
-Eat orange sherbet and otter pops, because hey, why not?
-Stay up so late reading Airhead that you fall asleep with the lights still on.
-Finish Airhead and wish its sequel was out right now.*
-Change your hairstyle twice in one day! (I got the bangs and trim done earlier in the afternoon and the BFF dyed it late Saturday night.)
-Eat copious amounts of fresh Filipino food with friends. (Also, alliterate!)
-Sing your lungs out at the 1964: The Tribute concert.*
-Consequently, bemoan the fact you were clearly born in the wrong era.
-Watch the last half of Sky High. (I get such a kick out of this movie.)
-Wonder where May went.
-Go to church.
-Take a nap in a hammock.**
-Make a big decision as to where you'll be this upcoming fall.* (In my case, it'll most likely be heading out on an 18-month mission for my church!)
-Eat roast and po-tay-toes for dinner.
-Eat peach cobbler and funfetti cake for dessert, because hey, why not?
-Discover daytrotter.com and try to figure out why you didn't know about it before.
* Slated for a future blog post.
** HIGHLY recommended
And since Elise asked so nicely, here's the end result of les cheveux.
If the bangs look a tad uneven, it's because I apparently have this long-forgotten and irksome cowlick where my part used to be. So, uh, just overlook that and trust me that it looks much better IRL.
I've got big stuff planned for this week! Be very excited.
I big pink puffy heart your hair. It's too cute.
Also, the word verification is "zackbun." Just thought you should know that... it sounds sort of dirty to me.

Cuuuuuute! I could never pull off those blunt bangs, but I think they look so adorable on the right person. And you, m'dear, are the right person!

I had to google Funfetti cake because I'd never heard of it before. Now I want Funfetti cake! However, I've never seen it on my store shelves, so alas I am doomed to a life without funfetti cake.

You are adorable! I love your bangs. I wish I could pull off those kind but I'm a sweepy bang kind of girl.
Yay for haircuts though, I get one Thursday!

I thought you said you were watching Airheads, that early-to-mid-90's movie with Steve Buscemi and Brendan Fraser where somehow they end up accidentally holding someone hostage (I think) and so they try to make strange demands in the hope that it will help them get off with an insanity plea. The only ones I remember are naked pictures of Bea Arthur and a football helmet filled with cottage cheese.
So... not that then.
I recommend that for next weekend.
Great haircut!
