long weekend

so all those of you that have been waiting for me to get my post wedding haircut, i finally did! and it looks amazing!! it's about 2 inches shorter and i have some resemblance of bangs, they are longer than i first wanted, but i think i'm glad that i didn't really get any. i know you're all thinking that doesn't sound like much, but it is a change, at least for me. i decided, before i got it cut at all, that i wanted to grow it out long enough to give to locks of love. it's something that i have always thought about doing, and now i can. so about in a year or so i will finally cut off my long hair and opt for something shorter. i get a bit scared when it comes to going to new people and getting a cut. the lady was nice and she did a decent job, but it cost me twice as much as i had anticipated!!!!! good thing i had my coupon :) so that's my haircut story.

the rest of my weekend was spent with quasi-friends. a few girls from our small group got together and hung out while we ate and knitted. i finally know how to do the purl stitch. you are supposed to learn that one second, but i'm kinda backward and i somehow managed to learn the knit stitch first. but my good friend jessie helped me. it was really good to hang out and get to know the girls better. yestarday we went to baltimore and watched the orioles get spanked by the stupid red soxs. it was embarrassing, almost as embarrassing as there being more sox fans than orioles ones. we walked around the city with friends of david's co-worker. don't worry we had meet them once before. it was nice having a tour guide of the city.

anything else interesting....i went to 2 book festivals this weekend. one in dc, which was huge. the jr league was volunteering and i talked to a lady about joining. i think i am going to sign up next year. they do lots of volunteer stuff throughout the city. i got sue monk kidd's autograph. i meet a friend down there and we grabbed lunch. oh, and there were demonstrators everywhere! it was so weird and so cool at the same time. the ladies in front of me were remarking on their protests in the 60's. there was also counter demonstrations going on. i guess that's one cool thing about dc. the other book fair was in baltimore. we just happened upon it. i got some movie posters. it definitely wasn't as large. so i guess that's about it..i am so tired from all the excitment.
