hair, holidays & highways

ladies: i need some sort of hair "smoothing" product - it must be light and non greasy/oily. i just want to make my hair shinier (if thats possible, muwhahah) and have zero frizzies. suggestions, please?

so far i'm enjoing being a lovely brunette. a girl at work here said she watched this documentary where they dyed the hair of a guy and a girl blonde for one day and brunette the next, and sent them out to compare reactions and attitudes. well apparently the blondes got more attention and flattery. the brunettes got more respect.

we'll see about that i guess.

i've had a couple people say they prefer me as a blonde and that is fine. the most important thing to me is that i've actually finally tried it. it won't stay forever probably so no need to wory.

well for those who don't care about my hair, let's move on to the next topic.

i had a great great weekend. i know i said we were going to greenwater but we ended up at anglin lake on friday night with renae and andrew and their cute little 2 year old son xander. then on saturday morning we headed to marean lake and stayed at a cabin there that was way to small for the 12 people and a four month old baby that stayed there! oh but we had a good time. sat night we went "glow golfing." i'm talking real golf, not mini golf, where the golf ball and the green glowed in the dark. everyone was given glow sticks that you could see for miles so that the group behind you didn't start golfing until you were gone. it was fricken fun. sunday and monday we spent the whole day at the beach, boating, tubing and waterskiing and suntanning, just the way summer is meant to be spent. at the lake. we ate like kings - steaks and ribs and potatoes and salads, not to mention midnight hot dog roasts. mmm hotdogs. it was wicked fun.

on our way home on monday jeff showed off his highway mastery to me. seriously that boy knows his saskatchewan highways. half the time we were driving on grid roads, then another time he went in the opposite direction that saskatoon was pointing and we ended up taking a ferry across the river and ended up on a different highway and made it home faster than ever. yes i was impressed. and the little mini ferry was fun too. (carmen - do you remember on our way home from sylvan lake that year and we took a ferry in alberta with my family? that whole trip was so much fun!).

i'm so excited that this week is already half over. this summer is flying by, it's already august. hard to believe.

who even knows what this fall will hold?!?!?
