Good Morning Sunshine

The other night my roommate Angelica decided to cornrow Jeff's hair, with glorious results.


The following night I went to bed rather late and so I had to crawl into bed in the darkness.
At 8:30 the next morning I woke up to this staring back at me.

Needless to say, I jumped a little bit. Then I started giggling to myself in my half-awake state. I'm very glad my other roommates had already woken up.

I then promptly fell back asleep and forgot what had happened, and so I did the exact same thing a few hours later when I woke up.

So thank you Jeff, for managing to freak me out not once, but twice.
The picture is still there. It makes me laugh every morning.

Janette,
Oh wonderous laughter flows from thee
Tis happy happy as yonder tree
grows up and hits the tow'ring air
'Tis not, 'tis not, but only hair

For this last time or so is thinked
The rows of corn have thus been chinked
By those who Jacks of all trades be
Roommates, roommates, so to thee

Good night, good night, the call of bed
At last a place for the Pomade (r) head
Or she who sees and giggles free
To wake at morn, heart full of glee!

--
Paz,
Jeff

Outer Banks

I am spending this week with my family in Outer Banks, North Carolina. I thought I would be free from my addiction of getting on the internet since I left my computer at home, but happily my father is obsessed as I am and brought his along.

Last night we went to the Sand Dunes but I refrained from running around on them as I was wearing a skirt and didn't feel like flashing people. I did enjoy watching Katie and David face plant in the sand numerous times. As we were walking back I moved up to walk beside my father. He turned and looked at me and exclaimed in surprise,"You look just like Janette!" and when my only response was a look of incredulity, he suddenly realized that this phenomenon was because I AM Janette.
I need to start visiting him more often. Amanda and I were both incensed.

Today on the beach David wanted to play I Spy with me and this is how it went:
David: I spy something blue.
Me: The ocean.
David: Dang It! I spy something blue.
Me: The sky.
David: Dang It! I spy something tan.
Me: The beach.
David: Dang It! I spy something white.
Me: The sea foam.
David: Dang It! I spy something creepy.
Me: That guy with the blue shorts.
David: Dang It! I spy something blue.
Me: Those blue shorts.
David: Dang It!

Seriously, those blue shorts were like booty shorts. On a GUY. He did have nice legs though, so I suppose I can't fault him for wanting to show them off. Also, he was Italian so my judgments of him were a little less harsh than they might normally have been.
David is not very good at I Spy, while I am fabulous.

Last night I slept for 14 hours. I refuse to ever fly on a red eye AGAIN. I got about a half hour of sleep on the plane, and about a half hour in the car ride to North Carolina. Monday and Tuesday felt like one extremely long day. My family says I was very grouchy when I first got here, but please. I am never grouchy.
