After a week of Jeff being totally embarassed by my last post on the "quirks" I have (like he doesn't have any gross quirks either), I figured it was high-time for me to put something new up. Apparently the girls at work have been giving him a really hard time and well, I suppose I was a bit too honest before. Plus I'm tired of him teasing me all the time. So... in my attempt to make up for my quirks I have done the following: 1) finished ALL of the laundry in 2 days (okay so I still have a few shirts drying that need to be hung up but everything else made it out of the dryer and laundry basket in less than 48 hours), 2) rearranged and washed everything in the fridge, and 3) CHOPPED my hair off! I guess in my futile attempt to become America's Next Top Model, I figured getting a hair cut on a very bad hair day, would make me feel better. You would have thought that one, I wouldn't have cut my hair short right before my sister's wedding just in case I hated it and two, that I would have taken a picture afterwards to post but nope! I still haven't taken a picture of the new look but hopefully will have one by Thursday since that's the day my little sis gets hitched (and hopefully I am having a fabulous hair day). I guess it's not that short but for someone who has only had long hair, a new do that is above the shoulders is short. It's growing on me but I still miss pulling it back into a ponytail. Luckily though, Pearl doesn't pull at it nearly as much now that she can't grab it.
Speaking of Pearl, can I just say that she is definitely her father's child. It is now apparent that she inherited the "Johnson shoe gene." It's a sick, sick disease that Jeff shares with his mom and sister and now Pearl! She would wear all of her shoes if we let her and on Sunday attempted to wear two pairs at one time. She found some sandals that our neighbor gave her that are too big but threw a royal fit until we put them on her. It was hilarious because as soon as she had them on, she went tromping all over the house with a big grin on her face. Then last night we found some cute boots Kimmy brought home from Alaska (by the way, Kimmy is officially moved out and Pearl/Jeff have reclaimed the play room) and she wanted those on. So here she is in the middle of summer in shorts and fuzzy boots. She was pretty cute in them! And tonight, she ran around the house butt naked with just shoes on. I tell ya, we're in for it come 14 years from now! At least Jeff will finally have someone to go shoe shopping with.
Oh and a short video of Pearl playing in the freezing mountain stream up the canyon. We were bored on the 24th and angry at all the people parking in our driveway for the park festivities so we headed up the canyon for tin foil dinners. Let me just say that I've never thought of camping as a relaxing vacation (although Jeff loves camping so I go to make him happy) but with a 1 year old heading straight for the water, it was definitely not relaxing. Man, how did my parents do this with 4 kids and a dog? But looking back, it was fun to just hang out with my hubby and baby. Pearl seemed to love the dirt and throwing rocks in the water and Jeff does cook a mean tin foil dinner.
