birthday weekend...

yes, yes.. i'm horrible at keeping up with posts- as i read a bunch of blogs- my daily reads- i'm a bit not so great at actually updating my own! so here are a few pictures and a quick little post on how my birthday weekend went... i am now out of my 20's! eEeeEeeEeew!
first off- at work- it was awesome! :) my boss decorated my office, desk and compy with birthday streamers, sparkly birthday garland and all sorts of fun stuff! i was definitely surprised! they had a potluck and 2 yummy cakes! people at work are so nice to me! i got 4 different plants- orchids and mums- cards- baked cookies- gifts, etc.. ehhehehe. and my boss got me the best buster keaton book i had never even seen!!!! (there will be a post on my dear buster later this week). the pic above is me and cutie at the smoke house in burbank. * note long hair* i'm quite the foodie (yes, my yelp account is also collecting a bit of dust...) we got yummy crab stuffed shroomies and lobster tails- not quite what i expected- but still super tasty! :)

then- on saturday- we went to magic mountain- (cos i still technically act half my age most of the time). went with cutie and my sissy lollie- who was VERY excited to be this close to daffy duck! :) after some roller coaster action and some bbq mini-wiches- we were ready to go home... OooOH my achin' feets and hips... :)

sunday- i ran some errands with cutie and went to visit my mama and just took it easy for the rest of the day... and found myself a good pair of scissors...
... MONDAY...

in 2006- my dearest cynthia and i vowed to grow our hair out for peace!!! after being inspired by the documentary the US VS. John Lennon. we grew our hair out for four years!!! during that time- i trimmed it only once- for my wedding cos it was major scraggles! we had discussed cutting it, but something always held us back. we were growing it out for a cause- for peace! :) well- we are far from having any peace on earth- but i decided to finally cut it for a good cause. i grew it out for peace and was able to cut it off for cancer. :) i'm sending my hair to locks of love- i have a whole 15 inches left over!!! i dont' think i will ever cut my hair again and not donate it. i'm excited to send it off knowing it will go to some little girl or boy who needs it more than i do. :)

all in all- i had a fabulous birthday weekend!!! :)

I LOVE your new hair! and yes, we were growing it out for "peace" and now I think it's my turn to donate my locks : ) Just have to find the right haircut.
