Les cheveux courts à Paris

So, I had the idea a few weeks ago while watching Funny Face (or maybe it was an earlier viewing of Sabrina that triggered the thought) with Audrey Hepburn when I decided it would  be amazing if Heidi and I took a trip to Paris. I told her we should make a separate savings account and every payday we would put $5 in it. Then whenever we had enough we would go!

We saw Harry Potter on Sunday. A-mazing! The best movie of the year! All this Harry Potter business makes me want to rewatch all the movies. All 20+ hours of them. I had been watching interviews of Emma Watson on Regis and Kelly and the Today Show earlier in the week while painting a house. She is so sweet and lovable. I want to be friends with her. Well, back to the Paris thing and how it connects with HP. I while in Paris I want to cut my long locks off as short as Emma's new haircut! I have had my haircut in every country that I've gone to. I love the experience of seeing other hairstylist's technique. So why not a drastic change (in the future mind you, so I can mentally prepare myself for it)?

 

I'm excited and scared at the same time. It is incredible how you get attached to long hair. While I worked at Great Clips I hated it when women with long hair wanted nothing done to it. At least layers, come on! Well that's what I would do anyway. :)

Here is a video I found that gives you a little taste of the Regis and Kelly interview:


 

Oh -Les cheveux courts à Paris means "Short hair in Paris". Or at least that is what Google translator said. ;)

November...time to put up the Christmas tree!

Wow, I haven't written any useless jibber jabber since April!

I graduated...ha ha

What does education do for you in times like these? Well it looks like nothing. I can't even get a job at pizza hut.
- I just want to give a shout out to all the places I applied to and never heard anything back...get up the good work! You've been disappointing many people for months. HR directors good job doing your job ethically! - arg, my rant is over.

I really can't find what I'm looking for (job wise). I've thought about selling on Etsy. But I just haven't quite figured out what I should make. I've daubled in many different projects but haven't found IT yet! Plus if no one buys my things I don't think I can take rejection like that. Rejection is not my cup of tea (English Breakfast is).


Really what I'm itching to do is move into my own house. A house on my Grandma's street sold for 25,000! It was worn a lot more but because of the market no one could get a lone to cover it (like I could, ha!). But I want to organize, purge, and clean!! It's probably from being cooped up in my parents cluttered house. We like clutter. I'm just like them.

Annnyyywayyys. We are having a Christmas party today and I still have to wrap the gifts. :0

fun fun bun bun,

I'm graduating!

Springtime, I love you

Bloomin' Tulips it's springtime! This past weekend there was a miraculous thunderstorm. Sara and I went out onto the porch. I love the smell of thunderstorms. I'm getting more stressed everyday thinking about all the homework that needs to get done. It will get done, I just need chunk of time. 10 or 15 minutes breaks in between jobs, class, commutes, etc. doesn't cut it. It seems that I need a long time to get into the grove of a homework project. A N Y W A Y S


I had a great class in Camp Administration and Governance. A director from a camp in Ohio that ABC is connected to was a special speaker for the class and talked about marketing. I have many new incites and excitements in camping's marketing world. What he said also inspired me to get more ambitious and driven with my future. I've been thinking about starting some sort of amazon, ebay, or etsy account and sell some of the things I find thrifting or create myself. I'm gonna due it and I'm gonna write it out in a plan that I can see. Goals goals goals. Mr. Pritt is all about the goals and he gets tons of useful stuff done.

Everything Salad on a Tuesday...

Today after class and work I came back and chopped up vegetables for a BII Everything Salad. You see, today is Meredith's 21st birthday. (Meredith is currently my roommate and old housemate of Israel). She drove back to WV from PA and started at Berkshire's. We were planning on going to Starbucks afterward but it was a busy night so we came back to the apartment. Funfetti cake with polka dots and espresso shots.



Sara, my Signing cousin, came out to WV to visit. We went on a 1.6 mile hike that ended up being 4 miles (we got lost). Ate a lot. KP's Mexican Restaurant deserved a finger down the throat, but that's a long story that's really only interesting to the people that were involved...

Tonight was the Spring 2010 ABC Coffee House. It was the best one yet. Everything was funny, well except for the freshman skit. . . It was a little off. Now I'm not going to able to sleep because I had the Pike's Place brew. Rats!

Israel, how I miss you...

Today at lunch I talked with an ABC student who is going to Israel with BII next year. I was so excited and hope I didn't scare the poor girl! It makes me reminisce about my fantastic time with BII. I hoping, actually, this summer that there will be time when all the girls from my year will be able to get together for a reunion!


I have recently required a whole year's worth of the magazine House Beautiful. My current interest is home decorating by using restored thrift finds! House Beautiful has a plethora of ideas in it. If you get the chance check it out!

Johnson/Dunkerton wedding planning...

I've been helping my friend Lisa plan her wedding. Right now we are searching for wedding cake toppers. I ran across these on Etsy. I want them for my sister's (but she is not getting married, but you know "some day").

Also I am graduating in 43 days! Let me say it again, 43 days. Crazy, my college career is almost over. Well, sometime in the future I am going to get a master in...I don't exactly know yet but I want it to be some type of Jewish/Israel studies.
