Not much going on in my head today, at least not much worth writing. I don't seem to have any words! Maybe Mykala cut out my thoughts when she gave me my haircute last night (sidenote: haircute is a term coined by Kala on her blog. Fitting, since she gives a darn good one herself!)
Here are a few articles written by people who did have words and used them quite nicely, too.
First an article by Ryan Reynolds about running the New York City Marathon in honor of his father who has parkinsons diseason.
And then, a funny one I read in Oprah's magazine (I know, I know but my mom subscribes and since I'm too cheap to pay for my own magazines I just read other peoples leftovers). It answers questions women often ask from a man's perspective and it made me laugh out loud and go "awww."
And here are two cop-out quotes! My friends are funny.
Me: Did you know that women blink almost twice as often as men?
(pause)
Katie: Sorry, that made me blink.
Kelsey: I just read on msn that mpls-st. paul is rated 3rd in best cities for single people... YA right
Me: 3rd best in what...MN?!?
Kelsey: apparently in the us.... however, I beg to differ
Me: do they tell single people how to take advantage of that?
Kelsey: No, they don't tell us how. Apparently you have to go stand on a street corner naked
Me: That could work if you were holding a sign with your phone number on it
Kelsey: Well, I'm thinking that might it not be a bad option right now.
That's all I've got!
p.s. This morning for the first time since I got my un-haircute almost a month ago I actually smiled at my reflection. Thanks, Mykala, for loving me even though I "get a little sassy sometimes" and for making me feel pretty again.

When "Once upon a time" came true
Once upon a time I met a boy. He had a serious face but the smile of a giant. When you walked next to him, if you listened very carefully you could almost hear his mind whirring with hypotheses and math equations. But, if you leaned in even closer, you could hear his heart thumping with so much love I sometimes worried it would knock him over. He was the kind of boy who noticed things, everything, from perfect lighting sprinkled on a sidewalk, to the way a girl wore her eyeliner.
Once upon a time, at almost the same time, I also met a girl. She had a spirit that shimmied above a crowd, daring people to take a chance and look up at the sky. Every step by her side led to moments full of adventure and wonder, afternoons that could have inspired children's books. When she laughed, she became a child again, spinning in circles with her head thrown back to let the air cradle her hair. She was the kind of girl who never sat still, and whose eyes were always open in hope, lined in kohl.
One day, the boy imagined a magical owl. He told me the owl would fly through his window to bring him him the answers to his wishes, even the ones he hadn't spoken aloud. He knew that such an imaginary bird could never exist, so he stopped talking about it and went back to studying science.
Even though the boy had stopped talking about his dream, I realized I knew the perfect person to make the boy's owl become real. I told the girl she had to find a bird to give to a boy who needed it, but not just any bird, an owl. The girl didn't understand why, but she trusted me when she heard it had to do with love and faith, and maybe a little bit of magic too.
After searching and searching, the girl found a perfect, little, white owl. She brought it to the boy, even though she had never met him before. He took the owl and named it Genevieve. He kept her in his room even though he was too old for stuffed animals; it was a reminder of the girl with the dark rimmed eyes.
Over time, I watched boy and the girl became a pair, bringing out the best in each other. An anchor and a dancer, they taught each other how to stand in the stillness and to move in the music.
One night, five years after the girl had given the boy an owl, he gave her back a gift that made her cry with happiness: a ring. She took the ring, put it on her finger and said, "Yes." On that day the boy's dream finally became real; a magical owl had made his wishes come true.
The end (and happy beginning).

Alex and Mykala, I still remember the exact moment I thought to myself, "They would be perfect together!" The way you have grown and found strength in each other inspires me and makes me believe that fairy tales really do exist in real life. It is an honor to be friends with both of you and to have been there from the very beginning to see you fall in love. Congratulations on your engagement!
Love you both.
(Can I say "I told you so," now? )

Congrats, Kourtni!
So proud of Kala's baby sister...(and there is a nice little cameo by Miss Mykala Lind herself, too).
