The Rundown: Me on Reality TV, Twitter Fever, Red Pin Bowling Lounge Birthday & Van Update

Me on Reality TV: I was so excited to see a Cut & Color on my Outlook calendar this Thursday! My last haircut was in March, yikes! Just to disclose, I have started going gray since I was pregnant with Van. Darn family genes. I was very surprised to be greeted with a Release Form from E! Television when I walked in the door of the Velvet Monkey Two Salon. I reluctantly signed the form, knowing my stylist Kara would have all the details. Apparently, the Style Network was filming an episode of Split Ends, and they even took some shots of my hair getting cut. My reaction? Hysterical laughter. I probably wont' make the cut... ha ha... I have a dry sense of humor.

Twitter Fever: It really should be called FriendFeed Fever. I've started Twittering, partly because of my job and partly because it is fun. You'll notice my new Twitter feed to the left. (Google Reader and Blogroll audience, please click through to view). Since I am now a Twitter expert--with four days of experience under my belt--I feel confident that Jessica, Derek, Emily, Kim, Charly, and Andrea should all be joining the Twitter family. Liz, you can Twitter after you finally get a new cell phone! :)

Red Pin Bowling Lounge Birthday: We celebrated Derek's birthday on Friday with a party at Red Pin Bowling Lounge, Bricktown's new uber-trendy bowling facility/hip bar. It has taken us almost six months to get a reservation! Our thoughts? It was a fun experience, but it didn't live up to the hype. Here are some pics!









Van Update: Van is getting cuter by the day. He is really working on developing his talking skills, adding new words to his repertoire every day. Some of my favorites include: bubble, Isaiah, green bean, and more (in sign language). Derek and I had our first parenting meeting this week, we had to figure out a consistent punishment for his screaming/crying fits during church. We had to come up with a game plan, because 1) he has never had screaming/crying fits and 2) we have really never had to punish him. Well see how it works out! Here are some pics of Van the Man.

Couple of thoughts:

I think your hair is definitely reality-TV worthy. The bangs are fab.

Ok...Weight Watchers is in serious gear now. Photos of me...not good!

Finally, the pressure to Twitter is killing me! My work wants me to, you want me to, the world wants me to...I'm not sure I can blog AND Twitter. I may need more info from you.

Also, P.S. Van IS very cute. As always!

Charly said...

1) Your hair is adorable. I'm loving the bangs.
2) What is Twitter?
3) Van is a cutie.

Andrea @ The Miller Spot said...

I'm loving the new pics...cuteness all around. And...yay! I'm a Twitter too. Very new though, I'm still learning...

Kim said...

I guess I will go ahead and THIRD the motion that your hair is very cute!

Emily said...

Colin twitters. I have been thinking about it for awhile. I keep saying I won't do it until I get a PDA, but I know I'll end up doing it sooner.

And let me just say, if Van doesn't throw screaming/crying fit...your second one will.
