I suck at blogging. Seriously. I wish I could get away with blogging at work… that seems to be the only time I think of blogging anything REMOTELY interesting. So, here’s a random assortment of things….
Things have been fairly boring around here. Joe’s been working like crazy, making up for all the times he got to leave work early, and I’ve just been… well, surviving, I guess. I’m still waiting for the other shoe to drop, work-wise. Then again, I’m pretty sure I’m the least paid person in the office, so I’m probably a deal. lol.
After our visit to Dallas, I started using a new shampoo: Garnier Fructis. I almost always hate the shampoos they give at hotels. My hair never feels right when I use them, and I don’t want to deal with taking out the “Plastic Baggy of Items that Used to Maybe Be Used to Blow Up A Plane But Aren’t Anymore Provided You Only Have 2-3 oz. of Them” at security, so I just go to a Walmart or a drugstore when we get where we’re going and get my own. Normally, my old stand buy is Pantene, but I’ve been unhappy with them for a while (it turns out the shampoos at the hotel we were at were actually Pantene, so it wouldn’t have been the end of the world if I would’ve used them). I was going to get Dove, because it’s okay, but they didn’t have any. All they had was the Garnier Fructis, so I decided to try it. My hair was AWESOME! 
When we got home, I went and bought full-sized versions, and I LOVE it! My hair is shiny again,and it’s not dandruffy like when I use Pantene (maybe it’s the wax flaking off or something). It has some body to it, even after it’s been in a pony tail all day! I LOVE this stuff! I’m still having other hair issues, but if I go back to taking vitamins, that should help.
I officially started Christmas Shopping last week. Some of the places nearby were having decent deals on some DVDs, so we bought some for our own library, and I went shopping for family members. We’re big on the DVDs, so it’s easy to buy (most of the time), and it’s not too awful to ship things back home. So far I have something for my mom and my stepdad. I still need to figure out what I’m doing for my sister and Joe. I’m doing a bit of knitting, too, but nothing too crazy. Mom, Charles, and Megan are going to get knitted gifts, provided I finish them in time, and I think I’m going to knit for Joe’s parents & sister, and maybe for a couple of other people. Provided I finish everything in time. No knitting related stress this holiday season. We’re off Thursday, obviously, and Friday/Sat/Sun, so I’m hoping that I’ll get lots of knitting done next weekend… maybe even finish, or get very close to finishing the major gifts.
I saw Twilight last night, but I’m still kind of… meh… about it. It was okay, but I didn’t like it nearly as much as I was hoping I would. That’s all I really want to say, because I don’t want to spoil it for everyone. I think I need to see it again after it’s been out a little while so I can hopefully see it without the entire theater screaming and squealing when it starts or whenever Edward comes on screen. There was a group of teeny boppers in front of us who kept giggling anytime an important line was said, but we were sitting next to a dad and his two sons (figure that one out), so thankfully, I wasn’t sitting NEXT to a crazy teenager in LURVE. OH, and I WILL say this… for the parts that were cast with BLONDE HAIRED PEOPLE - it would have been MUCH BETTER if they cast .. oh, I don’t know, NATURALLY BLONDE-HAIRED PEOPLE. The chick who plays Rosalie is STUNNING…. in her natural BROWN hair… not so much as a blonde. Or at least making their hair much more convincing. It was like, spray-paint blonde hair.. cuz you could almost TELL that their real color was trying to come through. I did like it though. I think I’d have enjoyed it much more if I’d gone by myself, or with someone who actually had read the books and was excited about it, too. Joe went with me, but I still don’t really know why, because he would have rather been ANYWHERE but in that theater. lol All that said, I can’t wait until the next one. lol.

Don’t you love it when you find a shampoo that makes your hair salon perfect?? I haven’t found one of those in a while. Last time I was in love with a shampoo was when I was using Bed Head. But I haven’t used that in a while. Maybe I should go back to that… hm.
The more and more I read about people who have already gone to see “Twilight,” the more I’m happy I didn’t go opening night. I’m taking my little sister tomorrow, and I’m hoping it won’t be packed with those annoying little teenies. They make me want to throw drinks at their head.
Oh, and the part you mentioned about blonde hair? Cracked me up. Because as soon as I saw Carlisle’s character, all I could think of was “wow, that doesn’t look fake at ALL…” *rolls eyes* Kind of cheap looking if you ask me.
