Hm.
What to talk about?
It's so awkward to return to blogging after ages away from the blank Typepad Compose page.
...
I guess I could talk about how Colby is gone yet again on another trip.
Or about how my dog, Jack, has a stomach bug that has resulted in a shocking amount of vomit and crap all over my house.
Or that it was over NINETY DEGREES in Charleston yesterday. And I went for a run. And it was terrible.
Or how we finally got around to watching Toy Story 3 last night, and it was JUST as amazing as everyone said it was. And I cried JUST as much as everyone assured me I would. Buckets. Buckets of tears.
Or how I had an absolutely splendiferous time in Disney World with my sister and my parents, and all I can think about is going back in 2013 when they open up the Beast's castle, the Little Mermaid ride, and the Dumbo circus tents in a major Fantasyland expansion.
Or about how awesome ebooks are until you forget to charge them. And then I hate them. Batteries. The sole reason robots will never take over the world.
Or maybe I can just fill in some plot holes on the blog, and talk about that other stuff some other time.
Remember when we had a deep, meaningful discussion about whether I should keep my hair brown, or go blonde again? Well, the internet pretty overwhelmingly agreed that I should keep the brown hair. And so, I went blonde. I know!! Why do I even ask your opinion if I'm not even going to LISTEN!? Such a brat. But, I couldn't help it, my inner Barbie refused to be repressed any longer. And now I know that when next I feel the strong desire to just buy a box of $8 hair dye and be done with it, the brown hair is clearly a winner in your books.
As for the great dress debate, I was able to have my cake and eat it too. Lynn found a size 2 of the Tuillieres dress at her local Anthro, and kindly purchased it and sent it my way. It still will require some alterations, but it's waiting patiently in my closet for when that day arrives. As for the Disney dress, I decided to go with the Verdant Slip Dress, also from Anthro, and could not have been happier. It's even more beautiful in person, and looked smashing with my glittery platform pumps that I gleefully dropped thirty bucks on at Target the day before I left for Florida.
Pictures, or it didn't happen.We're such a well coordinated set. Much more Disney to come next week. Much, much more to come.

oh yay for getting that anthro dress, so exciting! also the blonde hair looks fabulous, love it.

hi! thanks for the comment and just read through a bunch of your blog and i love it! yay for finding a fun new blog. and i agree trying to run when it is over 85 just doesn't work for me, so then i try to wake up early... it is a vicious cycle. and i agree when your kindle dies it is a very sad thing. especially when traveling.

I know the feeling of "where doI start"? I just did a month in review myself. I love the dress. Hope puppy feels better soon. I have Toy Story 3 in my Netflix cue...now I need to go watch it. Welcome back!

Wow, you have been busy! I hope Jack is doing better.
Score one for Team Barbie. (It must be vicarious for me; my sister made me swear never to go blond.)
Disney sounds like it's gonna be awesome with all those new rides. I've never been so maybe I should plan for 2013???

Dumbo and The Beast! Oh! I just have to plan a trip for then, also!
That's a fine looking group of women up there ;)

I hope your dog gets better soon!
I scared to watch Toy Story 3. It's still sitting in my Netflix cue. I keep pushing it back.
I like your hair!
