So I am super excited on friday I ordered a new razor... I know that probably doesn't sound very exciting but for me it is cause it's an old fashioned safety razor, like the kind yoru grandpa used to use. I am interested in tryign it out because personally I am not a huge fan on the contemporary razors with multiple blades, they are expenisive, inefficient, and are hell on the skin so hopefully going back to this old style of shaving will be everything it is cracked up to be.
I recently read an article on theartofmanliness.com called how-to-shave-like-your-grandpa and it got me interested in trying. I already use a badger hair brush and a soap instead of the gel/cream from a can and I can tell you that it truely is WAY better and much cheaper so I can only hope the results from an old fashioned brush will be as great as the results from an old fashioned prep.
So I have ordered a butterfly style safety razor and a pack of blades and will update you all as soon as I have a chance to try it out.

Weekend Update
Weekend Update...
I had a great weekend with Catherine overall we had a lot of fun, and got a good bit of stuff accomplished.
On Saturday we went to Brugers Bagels and got breakfast (I LOVE bagels in case you didn't already know, we went to The Grey Fox (a wonderful little shop in town) and got Catherine two new Vera Bradley bags she has been wanting for a long time(yay presents :) ), and we walked around the mall just chatting, then we went out to mammaw and pappaws with the goal of me swimming which did not happen cause it was FREEZING!!!!!! But I did get the weekly cleanign done which was good, then we got some fish on the way home and had yummy fish for dinner. The only downside of the day really was that I got a MASSIVE migrane which was killing me but after a nice hot shower and some food I was feeling much better. So then we went out again, we went to best buy and bought Watchmen (If you haven't seen it. DO it was awesome) and went to the World Market which is this really really cool home/food store that I cant wait to go back to. We also went to walmart and got some organizational stuff. Then we went home curled up in bed and watched our new movie I love doing that;)
Sunday we decided to go to brugers again (once again LOVE the bagels) this time we got a bakers dozen and some cream cheese so we can have breakfast all week long, then we went to Toys-R-Us to get a present for my little cousins birthday party. It was kind of weird because I remember what it looked like when I was little so vividly but it has changed SOOO much sense then I barely recognized it. We picked him out a present and headed to my Aunts house for the party... the party was alright I guess, it was nice to see everybody but like most family parties it fealt awkward segregatedinto small groups and I just fealt fairly out of place. Afterwards we went out driving around which is always nice, to be honest if I could afford the gas I would be happy just driving around for hours on end with catherine just talking and looking at houses. We went to Jo Anne Fabrics and bought some crafty stuff (even I did, I bought some fun paper and stickers so I am officially in this crafting stuff now) we also went to Target and looked at a TON of stuff YAY but didnt get what we went for which was new pillows :( then we went home spent a couple hours reorganizing the closet, under my bed, and the dresser (looks so much better now) I cooked us some pasta for dinner, we played the WII with Dad and Ed, then off to bed with the Incredibles (LOVE that movie esp. big wheel kid)
So that was my weekend, how was yours?...

Life Update
Hey guys,
I know it's been a while and I appologize for that I just havent had much to really devulgeas of late but that all changes right now. Last night I recived my acceptance email... Catherine and I are going back to disney world, which is where we met :)
Tomorrow Catherine will be returning here to Tallahassee, and to me. I have been working hard in prepperation for her return and i think she will be quite pleased with my efforts. The room has been cleaned and rearranged. her bed is set up and I have a slew of fun presents for her :) needless to say I am VERY excited about having her come back. Yay for adventures with my P.I.C. :P
Other then that I started my job back at the Legislature this week, so far it has been very borring but next week the committee meetings start and things will pick up. Either way its a great way to burn time and get some money to get ready to start on teh life plan.
School is going, slow and steady but going...
I will try to start updating more often.
