“Sometimes I’ve believed as many as six impossible things before breakfast. ” - The Red Queen - Alice in Wonderland
My slightly wild fiance just got her hair cut and colored. It’s red. And short. Did I mention it’s very red? Yeah. It sure is.

If you haven’t checked out Google Notebook, you should check it out. It’s a pretty cool plugin for browsers (it works in Fire Fox, which I use most often and Internet Explorer as well) that allows you to copy and paste text and photos from web pages and save them for later. This […]
