What you have been missing!!

Ok, so first up is my trip to the Dallas Museum of Art. My friend Janay invited several ppl to go. So we met up and took the dart train down there, which was fun. And then we got lost in downtown trying to read a map that had no compass directions. But we made it there. Apparently, between 5 and 9pm it is free to go. I love art. I have a few favorites. The first favorite is in the light manipulation section. We went through this runnel that looked kinda like a keleideskope (I have no idea how to spell that word) and came out into what I can only describe as "The Orange Room." This was about the coolest room ever. It had nothing in it, except orange lights. The cool part was that the orange sucked all other colors out of the room. It was like walking into a black and white era, except everything was sepia, not black and white. So cool. One of the my favorite painters is Theodore Rousseau...at least I think that is who did this painting (I didn't capture all the aftist's names on my camera):

Another one of my favorites is:Of course, this could be the Rouseau one. Again, not sure. I love how the artist uses the paint to manipulate and simulate light. It really looks 3d, like there really is a real sunset back there! I have noticed though, the thicker they lay on the paint, the "brighter" or more reflective it becomes in the picture.

Afterwards, Janay and Mike (I don't know if it is spelled that way but that is how it sounds) went to McDonalds...well, I had Wendys but ate it in McDonalds, and then Mike wanted to sit in my truckbed and Janay had a blanket so we just sat and talked in my truckbed. We were really tired, and took a million pics (Janay kept closing her eyes), and I couldn't stop thinking about donuts...in the end these two were the best ones (I love the one on the left).

Ok, so the next adventure was washing the dog. Aly was working on her trebuchet with her two partners for physics project. It was nice outside, and they were practicing launching it and tweaking the weight so the ball would go 120 ft. It was cheap entertainment, so me and mom and aly's friend Shanon were just watching. I don't remember how it happened, but I left the back gate open and Cheyenne got out. If you know my dog, then you know she is one of those dogs that runs away from you to go exporing. She always comes back, but not when you tell her to. So she got out. Went everywhere, thankfully has the common sense to stay out of the street when there are cars, and ended up finding a really nasty looking bone out in the marshy area by the lake. So she was NASTY!!! I gave her a bath, which she hated becuase the water was so cold (I don't blame her) but she looked so hilarious all soaking wet and clean I just had to take a pic:

or two...

Next on the list....A NEW HAIRCUT!!!! As you can see in the previous pic of me, my hair is pretty long. I desparately needed a haircut. The way it was cut with it that long, I couldn't even style it to make it look good, so in the end I ended up putting it in a ponytail all the time, which my mom hates. So here is the final product. I got it done a week and 1/2 ago, I think.

Spiffy huh! The hairstylist's name was Sab. He did a really good job. And he actually gave my hair volume and the roots! I have done what he did at home, and I still can't do it like he could. Maybe I need to change my product...and find my round brush, I have no idea where I put it.

Last happening!! Yesterday was Easter. Awsome. I love Easter. I woke up and read the Easter story in the Bible, then practiced. I had to play the hymns for the Singles Ward since the normal girl was away. I played really good, except the last hymn intro. I botched it bad. But that was it. But, somehow everyone remembered and had to tease me about it. Oh well. I also got to wear a flower. My dad bought my mom, sister, and me an orchid to wear to church, which I thought was really cool. And it was really pretty. See?

I want you to notice something. See the clear face? Not so much zits? Especially between the first and last pics of me? Yeah. I'll tell you about it sometime.

So yay!! Got all the happenings on one post. I have thoughts to post too, but maybe not this second...I have to get ready to go coach.
