happy birthday harry potter!🎈

casey is reading The Deathly Hallows to ray, we watched the movie, part 1 that is, the other night since he had reached that point in the book.. i read the books and saw the movies, so i was able to tell him when it was "safe" to watch the first part.

last week chieko took me to get "inner color" on my hair... i was hoping to get something that will last a little longer than what i have been trying at home... i got something darker this time, although it is only going to last 4 weeks at most..

i made a mistake though, the stylist asked if i wanted the color to show when i put my hair behind my ears and i said sure..she applied the color about an inch above my ears and it shows all the time.. i don't really like it.. she also mixed a second batch of color and i don't know if it wasn't exactly the same (well i guess i DO know that it wasn't), because as it is kind of a rusty color at the sides as it fades...😕... does not match the back at all, which is fading more purple, in spots.. kinda unevenly .. anyway, we are headed back this morning to bleach the rust color and even out the rest.. wish me luck.. i may give up on this "peek-a-boo" hair!

last sunday,  casey, the kids and i went to the beach.. it is usually the one we (casey) choose because it is normally clean, the water is warm and there are hardly any people there.. i counted 15.. but this year, because of the typhoon a few weeks ago, there was a lot of "stuff" (trash) along the beach and floating in the water near the shore.. we did go in and it wasn't bad once we were out a bit farther .. we heard from one of casey's friends that a lot of the beaches were in the same condition... never the less.. we tried another this past sunday and i'll admit i was not really crazy about going, even though it is freakin hot here (i am just as happy to sit in the air conditioned house reading).. the kids need to get out and burn some of their energy and they love swimming.. this beach was just fine.. the water was a little cooler and  refreshing..there were some small, crashing waves which made it challenging, for me at least, to get in out of the water... there is a bit of a drop off almost immediately at the waters edge.. before heading home afterwards, we had some lovely shaved ice  🍧.. mango for me!
