Weird.

This past weekend was a weekend wherein Jesse and I had absolutely no obligations. Nothing to do but laze about, workout on our own schedule (sort of), eat when we wanted to, and catch up on some serious resting time. (Ok, most of that was for me, but still...after an 8 hour day with me, Jesse needs the rest too, I assure you!)

I did have my hair trial on Saturday morning, which was a little bit o' fun. I'm afraid that after some careful thinking, though, I'm gonna have another one. I didn't like the way it turned out so much, and I want to make sure we have the right idea of what we're doing as we go into it, so I'll just make another appointment for one sometime in August and see how that goes. I liked the makeup, though, so we're good to go on that! Just the hair...not happy. Well, not as happy as I should be, I suppose I should say. I've got some other ideas of what we can do instead, though, especially now that I've seen what I don't want. I dunno...my hair is a pain in my bum, so I'll just leave it at that for now, mkay?

I promised more pictures from the shower weekend, though, and so here they are! Hope you likey...

Late on Saturday after we'd spent some time on Martini Corner with Valerie, Sharon, and Veronica, the bunch of us silly kids went out to play some pool and air hockey. We happen to know of a lovely place downtown called Balanca's (which doubles as a swinger bar in their downstairs section...don't ask me how we know that. It's an ugly story that involves very large women wearing far too little clothing doing gross things we didn't want to see them doing with scrawny biker-type losers wearing leather chaps over their jeans. God that was a weird night...) where they have an air hockey table that is fitted with a blacklight. We had to take the picture without a flash to give the full effect, but here ya have it. Blacklit teeth on myself, my twin, and Alisha:

As we were sitting eating bruschetta and drinking REALLY expensive beers and martinis at The Drop, we saw an...interesting car pull into the lot across the street from the bar. The picture below doesn't do the paint job on it justice. It was what I think Alisha refered to as being an "oil slick" look, where the colors kind of changed as the lighting changed on it. I don't know how else to describe it! I'm not sure just how the guy was disabled that was driving it, except that maybe he might be slightly retarded for spending what was probably a ridiculous amount of money on making the vehicle the way he wanted it, but at least he's able to get in and out of the car relatively easily, whatever his disfunction may be...the doors swung up instead of out! (They stayed that way even after he and his little group had walked away from the car and come into the bar we were in. I guess it needed airing out, or something...) Miranda and Alisha took a chance and got into a shot of the car for me. I hope they didn't catch anything too disgusting from being that close to the thing...
To be fair, it did look pretty cool. I just don't understand why someone would spend money on adjustments to a car like that, is all. And the guys seemed nice. Just not too smart, really.

Ok, the picture below was one Miranda took of me and the Twin when we were on our way to Balanca's. I made it black and white at home because it suits the color of my face better when it's like this. (I have an unsightly vein under my right nostril that likes to come out and play when I least expect it. Yeah...fun.)

And here is the one and only picture I got with my camera at the shower! Still waiting for the Twin to send me the shots she got...
Somehow, this is also the only picture I got of Stacey and Jason with my camera, too. I wish I had more!

And now I must go and prepare for the end of the work day, as it is almost over and I am quite tired. Uploading photos is tough work!
