curls.

today i was feeling too lazy to spend my morning with the blow dryer and flat iron. so i got out the product i used in hawaii and tried to embrace my curls.not my favorite hair style, but today i was reminded of how much time it saves to just go curly. i might end up doing it more often. it was a good choice today too because the rain was pouring down on the other side of town where we had dinner. we have been having some crazy rainstorms lately accompanied by plenty of lightening and thunder.

james and i had a low-key but fun weekend.
on friday we went to carson to have dinner with james' parents. his mom made his favorite soup, which i hadn't had before. it was really good. it was basically just broth (really yummy broth, i might add) and beef, and then there were tons of little dishes with extra items that you could add to the soup. lately, when we go to dinner there, she makes certain side dishes just for me that are not *supposed* to be spicy. so for example, i get my own little dish of kimchi that isn't red, so it shouldn't be too spicy. it still tastes spicy to me though. ha. usually she'll spend a few minutes showing me what items to combine and how to eat various things. on friday, his dad joined in on trying to get me to eat certain things, but his mom quickly stepped in and corrected him. she's starting to understand my limitations. they all have fun giving me a hard time about my food preferences. :]

on the way home, we decided to see the ugly truth. i enjoyed it. it was a slow starter in my opinion, so i was happy when it started to pick up. i wouldn't mind watching it again.

on saturday night we decided to see funny people. i liked it too. the only problem was that i didn't really have a clue what it was about, so i went in expecting the wrong type of movie. if you don't go into it expecting a funny movie, i think you'll enjoy it much more.

i guess that's about it. tonight i need to catch up on some laundry and work on my powerpoint for my next speech. my parents are in vegas, and needless to say... i'd much rather be there hanging out with victoria than at home doing the above.

i hope everyone had a good weekend!

p.s. it's august already?
