it's a great day at the Rice Corporation!

why? because my favorite wilderness boardwalk trail thingie is back in business! hurrah!! it closes for the entire summer while some fancy (and rather inconsiderate) bird nests there, but come 15 september, it's all mine again!! see ya later, birdie!! don't let the screen door hit ya on the way out... or something

we stopped there on our morning drive to take some fancy pictures. i have clearly been watching far too much Criminal Minds because i was entirely spooked the whole time - the car next to me had backed into it's space, you see - clearly this means the owner of the car is a serial killer and has positioned his car so he can easily drag his victims into the trunk before setting off at high speed... so i didn't really spend a lot of time at the wilderness boardwalk trail thingie but i shall return!! with my two large dogs, a box of thumbtacks to throw at the unsub/perp/doer (my least favorite term) plus a banana skin... oh and every lens i own :)

then we went to Walmart as i had a few tell tale grey hairs from the above mentioned near abduction. this is SO COOL - i got 4 boxes of hair color for $1.75 each :| to think i paid $80 to get my hair colored last time i went to the salon. i say 'stop the insanity!' - everytime i color my own hair i am writing myself a check for $78.25 :) soon i shall have the 135mm f2 of my dreams

next i got a huge bee in my bonnet to find mary janes in ruby red. this is the coolest thing ever - i typed in ruby red mary janes and found them online for $12!!! ANNNNNNND a 10% off 'loyalty coupon' (for a store i never go to:) AND free shipping!! how awesome, sometimes i can't even believe we didn't have the internet till like 13 years ago (in my world, we didn't...) how did we listen to music??! how did we talk to people and set up playdates? how did we buy SHOES??! how did we hide boring people/spy on fascinating people without facebook? how did we.. gasp... blog????! whoever invented the internet (i believe it was Al Gore or an African American gentleman...) i salute you!!!

i really want my eyelashes to criss cross like this...
