The List..

This is the first time Shad has had to deal with the paparazzi:)
Loving my new lens..

10. I know this might sound crazy but..
I'm conducting an unofficial mustache survey.
I'm checking every women's stache out I meet.
I hope they don't notice.
My light blonde mustache is starting to become a tad bushy..but it is still light blonde. I'm just so worried I'm going to be that lady that does not realize she has a full on cop mustache going on..hmm what's a girl to do!
Do I start waxing and have it turn black eventually or do I hold out and just stay with the peach fuzz..Help!!

9. On the subject of personal grooming..As you might know I'm saving my pennies for Paris, so I've opted out of visits to my hair dresser. I'm just going to tell you right now, I miss it..I DON'T like Amber with longish hair and I can't WAIT to get it chopped off next week. Yes I have vanity issues..no I'm not afraid to admit it.

8. Got to meet Timi, it was fun! It's the first time I've ever met with someone just through blogging, how cool is that?? She is planning a huge blog party in August..
all the cool kids will be there..how bout you??

7. Had my first paid photog shoot a few weeks ago, pretty stoked about that:)

6. We extended our lease by two months this week. Let's see if we will have any more direction by the end of those two months..at this point I kinda doubt it..I guess thats just the way we roll.

5. I'm just sooo ready for the school year to be over. I'm soo over this year..this transition..public education in general..over it!

4. Got a new lens for Mothers Day..it's pretty sweet.

3. I keep forgetting to tell you this story..ever since I began planning my Paris trip, I've had one of these on my wish list..

Every time I hit Barnes & Noble I would gaze longingly at this very Amberish type journal..but never did take the plunge..Then one happy day as I was quietly baking a pie (really) I received a phone call from this sweet girl,

"Can I stop by, I have something for you?"

"Sure, do you want lunch?"

"No I'm going to WinCo." (cuz shes thrifty like that)

"Ok, I'm just here baking a pie."

Next thing I know..ding dong Wendy is here and she has this very special present for moi!! Did I totally overreact!! Yes!! I hugged her like 8 times! How did she know that I have wanted one for so long..she did not!! But she just knows me so well that she saw it and knew that it must be mine..Some days I just pinch myself..I have the best gf's EVER!
