I'm walking on sunshine

wooah
I’m walking on sunshine wooah
I’m walking on sunshine, wooah
and don’t it feel good?

you get the idea. I was at nellie’s reception earlier, and saw a lot of people I hadn’t seen in a while. they all wanted to know how I am, how life is going. I told all of them I’m marvelous, wonderful, fabulous, life is beautiful. the other day when I talked to ryan, he said my voice sounded really different, and was trying to figure out why. finally he said, “I just think it’s been a while since I heard you so absolutely happy. but it makes me really happy too.” and now whenever I talk to him he says I still sound different, and I feel so glorious. definitely happy.

I didn’t catch the bouquet. I was so close, I totally grabbed it first but there was too much backwards momentum and it fell into the claws of the girl behind me. bah. but, that’s okay, I still am dancing all over the place. most of my dreams last night were about seeing jarom the first time after he’s back. I wonder if I will ever stop having dream like that, even once he’s home. and been home for a while.

it’s funny; although I have no belief in “superstitions” or silly things like if you catch the bouquet you’ll be the next to get married, I was really hoping to catch it anyway…so I’d have some sort of grounding for the hope that I’ll get married before very much longer? why? maybe I should relax a bit. a lot. I hope I don’t scare poor jarom to death. and I hope that he isn’t coming home and thinking, “oh great, now I’ve gotta deal with this whole mika situation. what on earth did I get myself into?!” but life will go on, with or without jarom, and in the end things will still be fantastic.

okay, here I go to dance around my room some more.

makeover update

well, my hair came out wonderfully. the teeth, not so much, but we’re still working on that.

got a pizza stone and recipe book for nellie and ryan (watkins). talked to kimberlee for a while, we’re gonna play egyptian rat screw while she’s here, woohoo!!

I know it must be annoying to hear me keep going on and on about jarom coming home. I’ve talked about little else since I started this blog. but it’s what’s on my mind the most, I guess, and every time I think about the fact that he’ll be back in four days (…but who’s counting?) my insides go all to custard-y gloop and you know, if he were suddenly here right now I’d probably start crying. wonderful crying, the best kind, from overflowing happiness of something that seems so impossibly beautiful to be real. oh man am I setting myself up for heartache. but that’s okay; I’m pleased with myself for being willing to put my heart completely into something and risk it all being shattered. part of it is a knowledge that life will work out for me no matter what happens with jarom, but also, it’s because I think it’s worth the risk. absolutely worth it. siiiiiiigh.

and now…well, I don’t have much else to do, and I think I might go to bed now…how’s that for weird…

makeover

so, yeah. I’m sitting here with a “comfytray” in my mouth, and it isn’t quite comfy. it’s part of the rembrant 2-hour white kit. do you think it will work? I’m going to be optimistic on this one and say yes, it will work. some.

I also have wet hair. last time I bought hair dye I got a nice light brown, because that’s the color I’ve been trying to get since november, but it always comes out with a red tint. no matter how un-red the dye is. anyway, I know there’s a way around that — take all the color out and then dye it light brown. but, I can’t bleach it myself and I can’t afford a salon. so I buy a box of hair dye every month or so, and yeah, it would’ve been cheaper by now to have gone to a salon in november. but I digress. last time I bought the light brown color, the bottle turned out to be…copper. shiny and shimmery copper. but of course, I stuck it on my hair anyway, and it’s gone way redder than I ever wanted. recently. so I tried again today with a much calmer-looking dye, and now I’m gonna go dry my hair and see if it turned out at all.

wish me luck!
