HAPPY FOURTH!

This 4th of July was AMAZING! I woke up, took a shower, made waffles, put some strawberries out, waited a bit and had my lovely friends Ally and Marta join me in my morning amazingness. It took a while but we got out of the house around 11:30 for lunch at Thundercloud Subs! But before that we took a trip to the front of Menchaca Elementary to take that lovely picture to the side. For lunch I had the special of the day, American Classic with American Cheese! Then we went down S. Congress Ave. looking for a hair cut. We noticed a lot of places were closed...not up for the Asian (sorry to be blunt) or the $8 place, we wanted something good. So we walked around the UT area after finding a place to park by the Lutheran Seminary building (turns out you don't have to pay the thingies (thingy's) on the weekends and there is no limit! ). We bought stuff from Urban Outfitters. Yeah sale items! We bought dresses, to be girly and such for the nightly celebratory happenings. Target was our next stop for a swim suit and other necessary things. I got another dress, Marta got her swim suit stuff, and Ally got some much needed camp appropriate clothing. Haha! Our next destination was the Barton Creek Mall. I like the name Barton. I shall name a child or a cat Barton. Yessssss. We got our hair cuts there. I got all giddy while getting mine done because I was so happy that she knew what she was doing (the cosmetologist that is).

P. Terry's was our dinner spot with a side of Taco Cabana. Yes they have wheat buns. Turns out Perry is working at the new one that is the actual restaurant setup. I like the fries so much! Barton Springs there we went! Ally jumped in, I sorta jumped in, and Marta slid in. It was extremely cold at first and then it got warm feeling, how I don't know. We stuck around swimming and such and figured out how to go to the bathroom, eat a snow cone, and change into our fancy dresses in a time friendly fashion. Not really, I just felt in necessary to tell them how I thought things should go. I'm a dork, but oh well. And oh my goodness, some people can be the most horrid beings in public restrooms. There was this lady in the big stall with a little girl that was having trouble putting on her clothes or something and the lady was calling her all kids of names and just being this huge bully. There were tons of witnesses with the same "What the heck is wrong with that lady" face on. Those kinds of things just turn my stomach and make me so upset.

After the changing into dresses we walked down the street to the fireworks showing. It was pretty cool. I saw some people I knew and we sang some church songs and got free snow cone shirts. I don't know what it is yet but it says to go to http://www.snoconemovie.com/. Our feet were dying, but we made it back to the car safely after giving some bum-ish guy some pennies for SOME JUICE!!! Haha, "ladies, can you spare me eleven cents?!" "Eleven cents?!" I replied...hahahaha!

But yeah...so, we were totally craving a watermelon, so on the way home we stopped by HEB and Marta bought one for us. It was delicious and we ate it all. Two large pieces each. Also back at home i proceeded to dye my hair once again Medium Auburn...aka Red! I love it :) I feel kinda hard core. Then at bed time...2 something in the morn, we fell asleep to the second year of Harry Potter. I woke up and turned it off though around 5. Intense. And yes, I still made it to church after sending Ally and Marta on their way back to camp around 10:00. I miss those lovely ladies already. Luckily the Hokanson's took me in after church to lunch and back to their house. I FORGOT TO SAY THANKS FOR LUNCH!!! AH!!! THANK YOU HOKANSON'S!!! :) *Pictured is me showing off my amazingness that i produced with Dominique in Elementary school. It still stands...or sits on the ground as a stepping stone. rotate in counter clock wise and it's a car and a tree. :)
