Half.com: My new Favorite!!

Do you have a stack of old textbooks laying around...ones that you spent at least 50 and maybe even 150 on for those vital and not at all time-wasting college courses? Do you like that stack, or would you prefer to see it gone? Good news! Half.com! Get this...I posted 6 or 7 books on half.com this AFTERNOON, and I had already sold FOUR by 10 pm, making my earnings approximately 200 dollars so far! Crazy. My books were the cheapest on the list, but they were still going for 40-65 bucks. Not bad for a little extra spending money, eh? Hmm, whatever should i spend it on? Or i could just save it up for my wedding. Yes, that sounds adultlike and practical. Are crazy bohemian light-wash jean shorts out yet? I want me some!

here's some from ae.com. but i think they are way too short. Anywhere i can find longer ones??

Don't Trust Me With a Razor or Rehearsal Dinner.

Let's begin by telling a tale of a wedding. (Of course, what else is on my mind?). My brother and sister-in-law's wedding to be precise. Those of you who know me may not be as surprised to hear this. But I performed a 6 minute long "Interpretive Dance" at my brother's wedding. Ok, not the wedding itself, but the rehearsal dinner. And this was not a 20 people rehearsal dinner. there were at least 200 people in the audience that night. My brother played the guitar and sang some song i can't even think of right now. And i danced. Made it up as i went along. No former practice or thought. What i didn't know was that the song was 6 minutes, and i ran out of moves by minute 3. It was excruciating yet fun. I was on my period, and i could tell i needed a tampon change. That, and i forgot to bring a bra (didn't need one for the dress i was wearing) for my actual dancing outfit. Yes, i was super skinny at that time and maybe a large A cup, but still...so many things could've gone wrong on that. I don't know how to get the actual footage on my computer yet, but once i do, maybe you will get a much-deserved treat. I don't know why it's much deserved. But it is:) In the meantime, allow me to share another experience with you. It goes along the lines of my craziness. Like i said, nothing new to those who have been around me more than once. maybe twice. It all started with my fiance wanting me to give him a "trim". He's had the shortest darn haircut all his life until i became the authority of the hair:) Actually, he just knew i loved shaggy hair, so he was willing to give it a try. but it had become a bit too shaggy, i admit. So last saturday night he brings his little kit over and hands me the electric razor. Let's just say there was an emergency haircut at church the next morning by a hairdresser who received a frantic call the night before.I had botched it. Yes, my wonderfully seasoned artistic hands completely botched my man's head. Don't think it could be as bad as i make it out to be? WEll, see for yourself:



And get this, my fiance's reaction was that he loved how we made a funny memory together and that we bonded because of it. He could care less about his hair. He just thought i was so cute for freaking out like i did. I was cry-laughing and convulsing. That is not on tape. Good thing. But check out my man in a backwards ballcap! Isn't he fine? He never wears them:( But he should.

I'm EnGaGed!!!

Pretty Amazing, Folks, but so true...I have fallen in love with and am going to marry the most amazing man in the world!! God is so good and He blesses those who wait patiently for His best for them.
