Rantings of Michelle

well might i say, EVERYONE must go see Transformers!! now. go do it now. you - go see it now.
finished? ok, do you not agree that it is the GREATEST SUMMER MOVIE OF ALL TIME! i mean: "WOW!". totally amazing! many, many very enthusiastic thumbs up!
in other news, i got my hair cut. i even took a picture of it myself this morning because i was able to fix it fairly well for the first time since i got it cut on saturday. but since i am upstairs and the camera is downstairs, the downloading of the picture will just wait until a later date. but i think it's cute. i fancy myself at times to look like keira knightly with my new haircut. i have not made this admission to my husband, i prefer to enjoy the fantastic reality only in my own mind. oddly enough, this comparison came to me the morning after i got it cut when i first woke up and looked in the mirror - who knew that smooshed hair full of styling product could turn into "oooh! now that's a keira knightly style! i'm going to try and deliberately fix it that way today!". and anyone who knows me is well aware, i'm sure, of my lack of skillz with the hair products... but i'm proud to say that i am improving and that my head looks less and less like butt every day!
4th of July: the cliffhanger from a previous post about my volunteer excursions in working with my nemesis turned out to be unfounded. the day actually turned out extremely well and this lovely person with whom i do not get along was pleasant enough. (actually, she has done nothing directly TO me, it is only my weakness as a person which leads me to harbor anger towards her. for full disclosure of my shame, just ask.) so anyway, the 4th of july picnic on base was a downright blast! for my part, i helped my coworkers run a booth (once the rain cleared) where we had kiddie games such as water balloon toss, etc. but the most amusing was the watermelon eating contest and seed spitting contest. the contests were divided into age groups, the best of which were the adult catagories. alas - not much is more amusing than to see a grown man - an officer, no less - shove his face into a huge wedge of watermelon and slop it around like a pig. i'm not joking: these guys were picking watermelon out of their ears. it was AWESOME!
well, i think that pretty much brings everything up to speed. i am almost done with the blanket that i am making and will post pictures of it soon. in the mean time, i think it's time for some ice cream!
