humidity makes my hair curl...

random subject, i know, but i am consistently random…go figure. and it's true...my hair does curl when it's humid. anyway, i had a marvelously pleasant day today. my friend Shelly is leaving for Germany for 2 weeks on wednesday, and then she’s meeting us in Scotland for another 2 weeks, so she’s frantically trying to figure out how she’s going to pack for a month in Europe. at her graduation party she looked at me, with these puppy dog eyes, and asked me what i would be doing on friday, so when i said i had nothing planned, she said, ‘well…do you think you’d be willing to come shopping with me? I have so much to get and i NEED help Melanie…please?!’ like i could say no to that! not that i would want to anyways, Shelly and i have a blast no matter what we’re doing. we’re finding that we’re more and more alike each time we’re together…and (gasp) she’s starting to talk like me!!! Hahahaha…i knew i was influential! we were talking today about how we’ve never been together and not had fun, we make everything fun, and that’s saying something considering i spend a lot of time with her at the fairs…cleaning up after cows!!! yeah, that’s right, we even make that fun! but anyways, i picked her up this morning at like 10:30, in the truck since i know she loves it when i drive her around in my nice red truck. oh get this…she and i drove to prom in the truck a few years back, she begged me to take that vehicle. we got the weirdest looks…but we laughed so insanely hard, and it was SO worth it! going back to today, we spent most of the day shopping…and stretch for both of us cause neither of us are really interested in shopping, but she was greatly in need and i was her moral support and opinion giver, since i’m ‘sophisticated’ according to her. we were very productive and got the greatest amount of amusement from a stupid toothbrush. it had the toothpaste in the handle and a little dial to turn it up, so i told her she should get it to ‘conserve space’ in her suitcase. she thought it was funny, but didn’t want to pay for it, so i asked her if she’d use it if i bought it for her, knowing full well that she would, and she gave me this sheepish grin and confirmed my guess…so i got it and we seriously laughed for about 15 minutes straight about this ridiculous toothbrush that she’s going to take with her! basically everything we did today we found amusing and we spent an enormous amount of the afternoon laughing about anything and everything…so fun and so refreshing. we just have entirely too much fun with everything. we pick on each other all the time…I get her for everything, and she decided to attack my driving today, and my parking and my stopping…though, with that came complements about how i’m able to successfully drive that way. Like how i stop quickly, and take off fast, and pull into parking spots in a way that makes her think i won’t make it, but i manage perfectly fine. she attempted to drive like me once cause she thinks it’s rather cool…but her mom yelled at her. i found that highly amusing. Shelly and i have never really had a chance to do stuff together before this year, so getting to know her better and spend time with together has been a blast. i only wish we’d done this more in years past. so that was today…then tonite i didn’t really do much. had a lovely brother/sister moment with Brendon. he was working on the computer, he hates computers and of course it wasn’t working right, so being the resident computer genius in my house (that’s bad cause i’m not a computer genius at all) i was sitting beside him helping him. he was getting annoyed and said something obviously aimed at the screen up on computer like, ‘where’d you go?’ well being me…i couldn’t let that go, so i simply said ‘me? i’m right here...the lovely blond sitting beside you.’ then i glanced at him and gave him this horribly ridiculous laugh that wouldn’t match a ‘lovely blond’ at all and watched with pleasure as he tried with every fiber of his being not to crack and smile and break out laughing. well he failed…i won and got the smile and laugh i was waiting for. great fun indeed...i'm easily amused! but i think that about sums it up...or at least that's what i found entertaining. until next time...bubye!
