get a rope

On our last day at Grandma and Grandpa's cabin in Pinetop, there was a perpetual line for the rope swing.

Everyone wanted a few more turns before we left.

Mark too.

These two were happy just to watch.

And look at that view.  Fall DOES exist in Arizona, see.

hair and such

Emily's blog inspired me to be OK with my non-inspired blogging mode lately. Lots of blogging thoughts about not much.

1. I think it's time to cut my hair short-ish. It took a long time to grow it out and I've never had my hair this long. But I really want to cut it cute and Katie Holmes-ish - maybe. I have already had cuts sort of similar to this. Funny how I never looked that good. That's why I grew it out in the first place.

2. I missed THE OFFICE last night and that's OK 'cause we're finishing up disc one of season 3. When do reruns air? I LOVE the pam/jim storyline. For Mark, it's the worst part of the show.

3. Why is everyone so preoccupied/fascinated with Edward and what's his name? C'mon, are the books really that compelling?

4. I don't think Georgia Yukon is a very marketable rockstar name.

5. I forgot my bff-Jen-since-2nd-grade's birthday (July 20), and I feel bad 'cause we have emailed and talked several times since then and I have never mentioned it. Pretty lame to send a card at this point. So sorry!

6. Looking forward to GC.

7. Looking forward to seeing my sisters soon.

8. If we didn't reside in the hot hot heat, I would really consider a black car. Very sharp and would promote a better/more frequent car wash routine.

9. I am feeling some serious motivation to buy new boots. And jackets. It IS fall right? I am happy to be heading to UT (are you guys wearing your muck lucks yet?), Lake Tahoe and Seattle soon so I can layer and justify fall/winter purchases.

10. I am SOOOOOO not a fan of Katie Holmes. Just the hair. What is that girl thinking?
