This isn't a great picture, but it's what I found in my email bin Ch
ristmas afternoon. The quilt is a beautiful green and purple, and I especially like it because it reminds me of gardening with my dad. So to have something my mother made that reminds me of my favorite activity with my dad, now that's a special Christmas present.

I was planning on hitting up a couple after-Christmas sales yesterday, but I woke up sick. I've been watching TV online and think I have found my new favorite show—The Legend of the Seeker. It reminded me of the old Hercules and Xena shows that I loved to much in middle school. It even airs Saturday afternoon like those shows did and features a lot of the same character actors. Of course this wonderful invention called the internet helped me confirm that it is produced by the same people. I am a genius. (Okay, the internet is a genius.) It's been fun to watch, but I'm trying not to get too attached because shows never seem to last very long anymore. I miss the old days when you could depend on even a crappy show staying on the air for a couple of years.

I want to get a haircut. I've even made an appointment for New Years Eve. I'd like to go shorter and funkier, but I don't know if I'm brave enough to do it. I'm thinking of getting it cut like Ashley Greene who played Alice Cullan in the Twilight movie. Though I didn't much care for the movie, I think the haircut is cute. Plus I like to wear headbands, and this seems like a god headband haircut. What do you think?

I got inspired watching Pushing Daisies last night to be a little Olive Snook-ish today.
So I pulled out the curlers and hairspray and got to work on a flip. The secret to a good flip is to get it going in the right direction and the Aquanet it to make it stay all day. After what seemed like hours of brushing, curling and setting, I had a finished product...
...that wasn't really what I was expecting.
With all the humidity, my hair went a little crazy. I ended up looking a little more Kitty Forman-ish than Olive Snook-ish. Not that Debra Jo Rupp isn't a beautiful woman, I would just prefer to look like someone younger than my mother and a character set in this decade. Okay, so in that case, maybe I should have gone for Katherine Heigl as Izzie Stevens.
Or, you know, I could have just been me today. But where's the fun in that?
