Awesome Hair Stuff!

I recently started using a shampoo and conditioner called Pureology.  I LOVE it!  As some of you might know, my hair is quite thick, curly, damaged, and a little out of control, so when I find a good hair product I get really excited.  My hair is feeling a lot healthier, it dries faster, smells good, and is so much easier to manage.  It also helps a lot with color fading.  It's a little on the pricey side, but you only need to use about half as much for some reason.  Also, it's earth friendly...what could be better!!  Anyway, for anyone out there looking for some good hair stuff, there you go!

Mutant Message Down Under

I just finished reading a book called "Mutant Message Down Under" for my book club.  Such a great book!!  I don't know how many of you read "Eat, Pray, Love", but although it was a decent book, it was definitely not my favorite.  This book has a similar feel to it, but I think it is sooooo much better.  It's a really easy read... you could probably read it in a few days.  The main idea of the book is an account of a woman's spiritual adventure/journey as she goes on a walk-about through the  Australia desert with a tribe of Aborigines.  She learns their way of life and how they think.  Although I don't personally believe everything that she believes, it was a great book to discuss, and really got my mind to thinking.  I really appreciate any book that actually helps your brain turn on and reflect on your own life and the reasons why you do the things you do.  Anyway, I really recommend it to all!!  

"Man Blog"

I don't know how many of you read the last post, but it was not from me.  I guess I need to keep constant supervision when our friends come over, especially if Jeramy Reed is at our home.  For those of you who have no idea what's going on, we have a friend who is completely obsessed with checking out all the blogs around here (blogstalker!).  I don't know what the appeal is, but I guess he is pretty fascinated with our lives (who can blame him ;).  Anyway, my friend and I thought since he was so interested in blogging, we would set up his very own blog for him (you can check it out at swmanblog.blogspot.com).  Anyway, he has now been going around leaving anonymous "manblog" comments on people's blogs, but not identifying himself.  I guess he decided to sneak away, without Matt or me knowing, and got onto my blog last night (I have no idea how he got my password), and do a little post.  Anyway, that was not me, and no, I would never post a big picture of myself that looked like that.  Thank you Jeramy for your fabulous comments, and we anxiously await more!      

ManBlog

My CRUSH!!!

Who is this "ManBlog"? Don't you all find him kind of secretly seductive and sexy? I do. I think he is witty, funny and he has to be very handsome. I just want to get all of your thoughts and feelings on ManBlog. I guess I can say TAG to all the ladies. I don't think we should be so hard on him though. We need this kind of person to mix it up a little and make this more fun. What do you all think? I give him 2 thumbs up and a wink. Don't get a big head though ManBlog, but do keep the posts coming. WE LOVE THEM (and you).

Happy Birthday Matt!!!

Wow, I've been a huge slacker!!  I'll be doing better.  

So Matt turned the big 28 on Thursday!!  We had a lot of fun!  We ate at Rickenbacher's (I think that's how you spell it), which was really good, and they gave us a really good creme brulee for Matt's birthday.  After that we saw the movie Vantage Point.  Pretty good flick, but intense!  My back and shoulders were all tight after the movie finished.  I got him a new Wii game, a shirt, and a tie (before his birthday, he also got himself a really nice backpack and a running jacket).  Then we went to Matt's parents and my parents and we watched that nights Lost...so good.  As we watched Lost, we ate some Ben and Jerry's birthday cake ice cream (mmm,mmm), and some chubby hubby.  Man, that ice cream is seriously evil!  Anyway, it was a great day, and we had so much fun hanging out.
