HELP! Asking for Advice on: Hair
This week's poll brought to you by my impatience and restlessness with my hair. I've put the poll on the left hand side of my blog, please take a minute and let me know what you think I should do.
I've been growing out my hair for a long while now, and it's gotten to the point where I am sick of it. It isn't full and pretty like I imagined it to be. It take forever to dry. If I try to curl it,

Island in the Sun
Tonight I went up to Salt Lake to have a final dinner with my cousin Chloe, as she heads to Florida this weekend to begin a new adventure. I grabbed our friend Jared and we met at La Hacienda, a favorite Mexican restaurant in the area. Unfortunately for us, it was closed. Fortunately, though, Jared loomed outside long enough to talk to the owner who took pity on us and sent us to a closer La

I'll Never Leave
You'll never leave where you are until you decide where you'd rather be.
Hard to Wait. Harder to give up.
It's hard to wait for something you know might never happen; but it's even harder to give up when you know it's everything you want.

Laugh Partner
I was talking to Becca's sister, Sarah, the other day about relationships and what we inevitably are looking for in a future husband and she was telling me about a friend of hers that pretty much summed up everything.
Sarah was telling me how her friend and her husband were never really two people you would think would end up together, but in the end, it was their senses of humor that made them

Cities are all the Same
When you are walking around Seattle, New York, San Francisco or Edinburgh, the truth is, from what I can tell, all cities are pretty much the same. So many people moving from one place to the next, tons of taxis and buses, the homeless, and an endless amount of street performers.
There are the people that paint themselves like statues and hang out, the ones that play different musical

Edinburgh Night Life
The other night we decided to catch a film at the cinema. (Captain America, don't waste your money). Becca was on her mini-honeymoon and had left us to our own devices, which meant we didn't know which taxi service to get, so we ended up with some Chinese man that didn't speak any sort of English -- especially American English. We piled into his small sedan and headed to the theatre, only, and he

Doing the Dishes
Sometimes when I'm standing there doing the dishes (or cooking.... or OK, cleaning the bathtub) I imagine my non-existent husband coming up behind me and wrapping his arms around me, maybe giving me a kiss on the neck and whispering something (suggestive?) in my ear.

My First International Flight
I have a small recollection of being on a B747 at some point in my life, mostly because I remember being a little older and getting on the flight and wondering why there weren't four seats abreast and where was the giant screen at the front. But when I boarded the plane from Detroit to Amsterdam, I was overwhelmed by how big the aircraft actually was. I only wish I had been seated on the upper
