Happy Birthday, Dad! Don't worry, I won't tell everyone your age. I even added a photo where you have a full head of brown hair! (See what a nice b-day present this is?)

Fake pictures (until I can download real ones)
I've been pretty busy lately, but haven't been able to upload pictures since mid July. Relying on other photographers doesn't quite work either. I'll upload pictures (since some are awesome!) once I get my cord back (I mentioned I lost it in a prior post - I left it in my parents' kitchen). Since July, I have:
Won a hula costume contest with Mike. (Really Mike won because a coconut bra and pink grass skirt on a male is funnier than on a female. Since I bought the costumes, I'm allowed to say that we won.)
There was a Sage Meadow Family Fun Day to celebrate my neighborhood's one year birthday. Snow cones, a bounce house, and a waterslide were included. I'm still tracting down pictures of me.
I've been working on a rainbow sewing project. I have to kick myself to get working on it, but it's coming along. Since I'm headed out of town so much in the next month, I don't know when it'll be finished. Hopefully sometime before the summer ends. (Thank goodness hot weather lasts until early October in Austin!) Plus, I need to start sewing a ring cushion for my sister's wedding. I'm nervous about starting it, so I'm procrastinating. At the very worst, I'll work on it the day I get to NY. Then I'll have all day plus a helper (my mom).
I'm headed to Vegas on Thursday. I was there once before when I was 6. Everyone says it doesn't count, but I think it does. What if I choose not to gamble or drink this time around? Would that not count too? I played the ski-ball game that was connected to the horses race to the finish. (Yes, that's pretty much my only memory of the trip.)

Then, I'm headed to good ol' Churchville, NY for a week. (Side note: the town fair and tractor pull is this weekend in Churchville. I was invited via Facebook. I had to decline.) I don't have all the festivities planned out, but my Saturday and Sunday will be filled with wedding-related stuff.

Happy Negative One Month!
(Stop laughing at my math-i-ness, Lauren. Negative one month is a legitimate time frame.)
One month from today, my sister will be married. Okay, it's an evening wedding, so I guess it's one month plus a few hours. But please, if it's been 4 years and they'll spend the rest of their lives together, a few hours is nothing to argue.
May the next month be exciting and stress-free, may the planning be finished, may the love between you grow, and may the last-minute details be finished before I arrive on September 1st. (Hey, I had to say something to make those Kasiske girls laugh a little instead of cry.)
May the rest of your lives be exciting and stress-free, may the planning never finish, may the love between you grow, and may I not be told last-minute about any expected new arrivals. (And everyone together girls: "Awww" and boys: "That's too sappy." Sorry, I had to tie it into the wording in the last section.) But seriously, I am usually the last to know everything in my family.

Oo-Oh Girls Just Wanna Have Fun
The cable that connects my camera to computer is currently MIA. So I had to steal someone else's photos from Facebook. 
The neighborhood girls got together for an 80's night. Though you can't see it, I caked on blue eyeshadow too. I made 2 scrunchies from scrap fabric, and cut holes in some pink/white striped socks to make the legwarmers. The whole time I was getting ready, I kept thinking, "Gee, I wish I had that horrid pink crimper. I wonder where it is..." (Lauren, Alison, did you steal it from Mom & Dad's house b/c I might for the next time an occasion like this arises.)
