Did I Tell You I'm Going Bald?

On my right eyebrow????

Because I am.


For those of you whose first mental or verbal exclamation at this news was "WHAAAAT??"

That's what I said when I looked in the mirror!



But it's true. I currently have a bald spot.

Just showed up on Tuesday of last week during the Meltdown.

Smack dab in the middle of the thickest part of my eyebrow.

No tweezer perpetrators.



I've heard of early-male-pattern baldness.

I've heard it can be brought on by mass amounts of stress.

But does the fact that I'm a girl who still needs her eyebrows count for nothing?



Naked Apes, do things ever happen to you that are so ridiculous, you suspect God is trying to make you laugh at yourself and ease up a bit?
That's what I feel like this was : )

Life is pretty funny and wonderful : )

And don't worry, I think this strange phenomenon will pass and it'll fill in, and if it doesn't, at least I'll have another unique eyebrow : )



Hold onto your brows Naked Apes.

p.s.

I hope ya'll took the moment to laugh at my [and every college student's] ridiculous temporary demise. Because as much as it sucks right now, there is still the part of me that is laughing at this whole thing. Or at least it would be if it was awake enough : )
Don't worry, we'll all regain consciousness and smiles in 1.5 weeks.

p.p.s. Shout out to my daddy. He sent me the best email today. And thereby saved our poor freezer the unfortunate experience of a grown girl trying to cozy inside. Thank you Daddy

p.p.p.s. I love you all. Hope you have a great couple of weeks.

do some of this for me

FINAL ATTACK

Proof we've been attacked and mutilated by finals:


- I did a full errand run, got back and realized my fly was unzipped. Not that unusual I know, but it was the end of the day this time.

- I wear sweats all the time except for the 2-3 hours a day when I'm in class. And when I decide to run errands with my fly down.

- I literally do not have time to do Yoga. Which is only two hours a week.

- Yet I still procrastinate. As you see me here.

- All of my poems have been depressing for the past three weeks. But they are actually good so I'm alright with that.

- I've been sleeping with my calculator, books and computer in my bed for about a month. I don't have space for this kind of company.

- I've given up on laundry. Thus I have no top sheet on my bed.

- This is literally what I look like right now.

- I've had a headache for about a week. It goes away whenever I dedicatedly procrastinate my school work.

- My phone is dying. I think it has a stress induced illness that it got from my contagious stressed-out brain every time I've talked on the phone in the past two weeks.

- I need my nap every day and if I try to stay awake through the 3-5pm period, I fall asleep doing whatever I was doing trying to stay awake.

- I'm writing this because my brain has completely stopped processing schoolwork. I don't think I've blinked in the past 50 seconds.

- Every time someone leaves the house, we've started saying "i love you" and "good luck".

- My apartment has resorted to childhood comforts. Sleep overs. Large coloring books. Bubbles. Chalk. Sugar Cereals. Pancakes, ice-cream or pizza for breakfast, lunch, dinner and snack.

- Becca is so stressed she shampooed her hair twice the other day because she was so distracted she couldn't remember whether she'd done it already. Two Weeks Notice anyone?

- I stare at a picture of Jesus to get me through my math class. It helps.

- Today I wanted to climb inside our freezer and just cry.


Oh and for the past few hours our sky has progressively exploded. We just found out it is due to a forest fire in Rigby, the town south of us.

It currently looks like this except ten times more colorful:




when I first saw the sky, before we had any inclination about what it might be, my first thought was:

'I hope it's the second coming so that I don't have to live through the next week and three days.'

NAKED APES

GUESS WHAT!!?!!!

The next time it's the fourth of the month,

TOMMY WILL BE HOME.

This fact makes me crazy-happy : )


favorite shirt.


favorite way to wash suits..



2nd favorite gang sign.


-----

Guess what else N.A.'s!!?!

I'm making elephant ears in celebration of it being July 4th.
Alisa Grace has never even heard of them before. Can you imagine?




Happy 7/4/10 : )
Celebrate crazy.

We Escaped!!

Naked Apes, Alisa and I did it. We splurged, escaped the Burg and lived like Queens in Coeur d'Alene.

Which is French for heart of....Alene. I have no idea who Alene is. But let me tell you, her heart is beautiful.



We went to that hotel resort/spa castle awesomeness. It was gorgeous. Alisa and I went out to dinner once we'd checked in [p.s. Just driving around looking for a place to eat is a bad idea when all you have in the car is a girl who always gets lost and pulls a lot of U-ies, and an indecisive girl who is cranky due to lack of food.] Wow that tangent was so long I forgot what I was mentioning dinner for..

Anyway, despite the grandeur of the location, it was really hard to be mentally "on vacation". I thought it would be hard because I have mass amounts of homework to do in the next three days [major stress of the moment], but it turned out to be difficult because Tommy was on the brain because I found out exactly when he's getting home plus Coeur D'Alene looks exactly like Snoqualmie as far as landscape goes. And we took I-90 to get there, so everything looked like home and all I wanted to do was drive 5 more hours and be home. The last few weeks of the semester are brutal, especially this semester. So much to do, so little time.


Anyway, Highlights of the trip were:

- the valet's had knee high argyle socks. Not as cool as yours Jamo, but they tried : )
- we walked past the posh, dimly lit dining room and realized we were old enough to sit at the bar : )
- I had my first vanilla bean frappuccino from Starbucks. SO good.
- our room had huge movable shutters in front of the windows and the windows opened up onto a rooftop overlooking the lake. I'm a sucker for shutters. I'm a sucker for windows opening out onto rooftops. Yeah, of course I'm a sucker for lakes too.
- I got slightly sea sick while sitting in a booth at outback steakhouse haha I fell over.

and then the top two I'm not sure which one wins:

- I discovered that I can shoot a fine yet hearty spray of water through my straw [approximately two feet wide] by sucking some water up my straw, holding it there with my tongue and then forcefully blowing it out on Alisa Grace's face/entire person when she was sitting across from me in the booth at Outback. Awesome: YES. Hilarious the way a small child biffing it is hilarious: Definitely : ) I think I laughed for ten minutes at least..good thing she's a good sport and supported my gutsy experimenting.

- In casual conversation as I was enjoying a massage, I assumed my Masseuse was gay when she mentioned she had a "partner". I asked what her name was. All she said was:

"It's a he."

I didn't laugh. I started mentally gnawing on my foot and making notes to myself about the possibilities for the word "partner" and thinking how when Woody says partner you always know what he means. Those were the days.


Short story before I peace out:

When booking our room the lady asked me if we wanted two queen size beds in our room or one. Confused, I hesitantly asked "Is there a difference in price?"
She answered "Not at all".

What what what what what?!!?!?! Who in their right mind would want one?! Even if you were married! PARTY!!!

"Oh we'll definitely be wanting two."


MOR-al'S for you Naked Apes:

make gutsy experiments.
the yellow pages are your friend.
choose your college wisely, it'll help make staying worthwhile.
don't assume.
stick to the left if you're going slow on the freeway it makes everyone really happy...note the sarcasm in my voice apes.
and
don't be afraid to run away to find your true calling of being a princess.



this could be you ~



ah beautiful.
