I just cut my hair - short. It feels so weird, but I really like it. Here's the first pic of my new 'do.
Momma and the boyfriend approve, so that's good, right? I try and run my fingers through it and can't--that's the strangest feeling. It's hair, it will grow back. And it's perfect for the summer, which is just around the corner (if you haven't read the post before this).

one more week

Is anyone else excited that SCAD only has one more week of classes until is summa-time?



I know my finals are pretty much done. It would be nice if it would stop raining enough for me to enjoy not having a lot of homework though.

Oh, and my boyfriend will be here in two weeks. How nice.

flemington speedway

Like Vanessa and Angela Simmons, I too am a daddy's girl. I adore my father. He's one of my best friends. I'm just like him; I share his nose, his eclectic music taste, and his artistic interest and ability.

Recently, he sent me a link to a website and just wrote "check it out. it's about half the way down."

I looked at the site.

http://www.3widespicturevault.com/FRONT%20PAGE%20STUFF/Flem_Memories_1.htm

It's about a speedway in Flemington, NJ. And my dad is a racing-buff. I've been to more races than I like to admit and probably know more racer's names than any other sport.

So scrolling down, I get to his memory. I'll copy and paste is here, so you can spare yourself the website. And forgive his grammar, punctuation and spelling. I'm the one with the English gene in my family.

Dad's Gift In the late 80's after marriage and the birth of our first child, racing trips were far and few between, but one night, I believe 1988, my old racing buddies were making a trip to Flem (as we called it). After getting the "ok" to go I got ready. A racing shirt , the obligatory red bandana for dust, a few bucks ,I turned to leave the house . In saying good bye, my wife said,"it would be really nice to get your daughter a racing shirt or something". Smiling, I kissed them both and off I went. We all piled in one big vehicle and off we went across I 78 into Jersey we went. Pulling off 31 into the lot was always a rush. Throughout the evening, I thought what to get Maggie. Between fast heats, a few brews and food, I wondered throughout the souvenir area. It seemed no one had a shirt that would fit a one year old child. Then I finally spotted the Trenton Mack Table. YES !!! they had one for a small child, heck it even had a "cute" bulldog on it !!! Of course by the time I got home she was asleep, but the next morning, she wanted to know what I got her. Her eyes opened wide at the red shirt with the 704 on it and she slipped it on right away! THANK YOU ,DADDY !!------it was still kinda big on her. My favorite Flemington memory!!

Two final thoughts, the next year, I took her to a race, Williams Grove I believe, and you should have seen the older women looking at my little girl with that racing shirt - the "ahhhhhhhhhhs"! And finally, and sadly, somewhere in her growing up and outgrowing this shirt, we gave it away or it got tossed......... What I would not do to have that little girl back and THAT SHIRT !!

And he wears tye-dye. He is most definetly my father.

dear daddy's girls

Dear Vanessa and Angela Simmons,

Not all of us are blessed with having a rap mogul father and uncle who endowed us with a company and Porsche Cayenne and L.A. condo. I want these shoes of yours.

Because my dad isn't Rev Run and my uncle isn't Russel Simmons, I cannot afford them. I'm a poor college student.

But you should know I love them. I would rock them all the time--with jeans, shorts, sweat pants, whatever. Also, I make a great sister, so if your family wants to adopt a cute little white girl, gimme a call.

Yours truly,

White-girl-wants-Pastry's

oh zane, how i wish i were you

This is Zane Lamprey.






His job is to drink. If you've never seen Three Sheets, you must. It is the ONLY show that I've ever bought an entire season of.

Zane's a comedian. And he enjoys drinking, a lot. He travels the world, going to any city that will have him, and learns their drinking customs, including their hangover cures. It's actually educational because he goes into factories and meets important people, but then gets drunk with them.

When he went to Champagne, France in season one, he got an important champagne connoisseur to chug champagne with him, which is definitely not what you're supposed to do. The champagne man said no to chugging time and time again, but finally Zane got him. They played quarters--a drinking game we're all too familiar with--and Zane won. This champagne connoisseur then chugged his champagne--with a frown across his face.

An unknown channel called MOJO used to host Three Sheets, until the entire channel died at the end of 2008. With the help of many many many fans protesting, Three Sheets was bought by FLN, and will premiere it's fourth season on May 29. Watch it!!!
