As of today,

only 27 days of hair school left.

Just so you know.

lice+barf=a normal day at hair school

Hair school was fun today.

A huge family came in to get their hair cut. Soon after they arrived, the mom started nursing her baby right out in the open. No blanket, nothing. There are kids in here, lady!

We then realized that 2 of the little girls had lice, so we started to send them away, when one of those girls yakked all over the floor. Joy.

They left, we sanitized, the end.

So I thought Lortab doesn't affect me.

Apparently, I just didn't give it enough time.

It definitely affects me.

I was a little louder and sillier than I meant to be today.

to Lortab, or not to Lortab?

Yesterday morning, I awoke with extreme pain in my back. I went to the doctor, and was told that I have a small sprain/strain in some muscle somewhere in my back (woohoo). Nothing too serious, easily cured with some ice packs, rest, and muscles relaxers and Lortab.

Wait, what? Muscle relaxers AND Lortab?!? Holy crap!

So I took the meds. And I waited. I waited for the buzz, waited for the loopiness, waited to start acting like the sister in Sixteen Candles.

Nothing. I feel nothing different. Not even a little drowsy. And the best part? The pain is still there too.

What's the point?

I love fireworks. And I love it when the fireworks are synced with music. For as long as I can remember, my sister Carrie and I have sung along with the song "Stars and Stripes Forever" by John Phillips Sousa on the 4th of July. Except we have always sung it a little different.

Until this year, we have always thought that this version of the song was well-known. But apparently, we were wrong.

Carrie asked her friends at BYU, and I asked Brandon, and no one had ever heard of it. But I knew we didn't make it up. We aren't THAT weird...

Sooooooo I googled it!

This song was originally recorded in the 1950s by a group called Homer and Jethro. Since then, it has appeared on many shows/movies, including Sesame Street and Tiny Toons, both of which are shows that Carrie and I watched.

See? We aren't nuts.
