#1 - My haircut... I did go in to the stylist. I took my pictures I made showing me in different hairstyles and I took a picture of me taken last summer showing my hair curly. Plus, I went in wearing my hair straight. That way she saw all the options. We sat and discussed what I like and don't like about my hair, as well as what I want and don't want in regards to my hair (no poodles on my head thank you). When all was said and done, it was decided that I would basically leave my hair the way it is - for now. During the summer my hair gets pretty curly and there's nothing I can do about that. I can straighten it, but it lasts an hour, maybe two, before the curls start creeping back in. The stylist agreed that shorter hair will make curls tighter, which is not what I want. So, I will try going a little shorter in the Fall, but will leave it longer in the Summer. I can pull it up, so that way it's not so hot, and she did an awesome job of layering and thinning it. When I looked at the floor with all that hair laying there, I couldn't help but think "You could almost cover an entire other head with that much hair". I really do have THICK hair on this head. I know, I know, it matches the thick head I have - beat you to it, naner, naner. So, unless you feel my hair, you probably won't even be able to tell it's been cut...for now. Since it looks no different, I didn't take the time to post a new picture.
#2 - Our surprise... No, I still won't tell you what it is, but I will post in detail probably this coming Sunday - maybe Saturday night. But, to quote my mother "You might hear what I'm saying, but are you really listening?" (see mom, I DID listen) Some of you "heard" what I wrote, but did NOT listen. Stop asking if I'm pregnant!
I would be wrapped up in some padded room if that were the case. And no, neither of my girls are needing to be sent of to the home of an "aunt" for about 7 or 8 more months either (shame on a couple of you for even thinking of that. I mean seriously, I don't even LOOK old enough to be a Grandmother let alone to actually be one). Ok, so you know no one is pregnant and you know I'll fill you in this weekend. Here's another clue for you: Ohio. Does that help? LOL#3 - Anna, our student from Spain... The language barrier has definitely allowed for some funny moments! The best one was when Ashley said she had goosebumps and Anna looked at her so funny. So Ashley kept trying to break it down and finally went online to some free translation site and found the words for goose and bumps. She put them together and Anna said "Why do you say you have a goose and a bump on your arm?" Then it dawned on us, putting two words together give it a totally different meaning than what those two original words meant. Duh us! So Ashley typed in the word "goosebumps" and VOILA! She got the right word and Anna laughed and said "Oh! Ok! Now I see."
Ashley, Chelsea & Anna have already evolved their relationship to involve gentle teasing and Anna thought she was being so cool by calling Chelsea some name. We're still not sure what she was trying to call her, but she ended up saying something about a chair and flying somewhere. 
But, my girls in their never ending quest to educate the world, have managed to teach her some American teen slang, such as " 'sup' (what's up - complete with the slight head nod) 'gangsta' (showing a symbol that looks like a sideways peace symbol) and the one I'm sure her mother will be most happy about - when its' the right time to call someone 'white trash'. When one of the girls' friends came over last night they told Anna "go ahead, say it now" and she looked at this girl she was just meeting and said "You is white trash". I thought we were all going to wet our pants from laughing so hard! 
So there you have the updates. You're day is now complete. Feel free to move around the cabin.
