Julie's Journal

A new year, and another birthday has passed. That means it’s time for change, and I decided to make my first big change of the year. I got 14 inches of my hair cut off. I’m still kind of trembling a bit, and I did start to hyperventilate as I could hear the scissors cutting through it.

It’s only hair and it does feel good shorter. I feel like a weight as been lifted off my shoulders… literally!

Happy Birthday

The one family gift that we all got was the Play Station 3 game Litte Big Planet. It’s kind of like Mario Brothers on crystal meth, and so much fun to play. I get pretty frustrated at the controller sometimes. It’s really touchy, and I run my little Sack Girl straight into a fire pit, or I jump on a bomb and blow up. She’s pretty cute though when she’s not all charred.

Do any of you, or your kids, play Litte Big Planet? It’s rated “E” for everyone, and makes for a good family night.

I was goofing around with Michael and I made a hair scarf. Then I messed with the image in PhotoShop. Yeah… I am that bored. Please tell me you are doing something more exciting!
