Family picnics, Cinderella dresses, and Dances

OK, so, if you're listening to the playlist I have on here, pause it and look up "Coldplay Paradise (peponi)" and it should be the first one. One of my friends told me about it & oh my goodness, it is seriously one of the most amazing-spice things I have ever heard in my 17 years!

Anyways, Saturdays are days when we do chores around here. So, I braided my bangs out of my face and put my hair in a sloppy bun.

Ta-da, like that! It was the same yesterday, just a different method of doing a bun, so technically, it wasn't the same. :) After working, yadda yadda.... Safeway.... lalalala (Yes, I talk like this in real life), I (yes I) drove to the park for a family party. It was a lot of fun! They replace the big tire swing that could fit two fully grown girls (AKA, me and my younger sister Anna), with a puny one that I could barely fit in. LAME! But we had fun.

Well, when I got home from that, I joined two of my sister in the bathroom to make our hairs purty for the night. As usual, I was the last one in there. I mean, Look at this! Doesn't that hairstyle look like it will take forever???

I'm just kidding. That's my hair in the process. Fooled ya :) This is how it turned out:

I <3 volume, and braids :) That is a french braid, but it is way not how you think it is done. Just watch 1:05 to about 3:10 in this video and you'll know what I mean: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d5Cwl2f1Nes
Isn't that GENIUS???? My goodness.
Why did I do my hair like this? Well, to go to a dance of course! Now, if you don't know me, and there is a chance you don't, I LOVE LOVE LOVE dancing! Including ballroom dancing! They teach it at my school, and there was a lot of people there who knew how to ballroom dance. I was literally dripping sweat. Ya, a little gross. But it was worth it! I'm not gonna lie, I do love to dance with guys who can ballroom dance, but I also love doing the "deacons shuffle" and chatting with guys who don't know how. It doesn't matter if we just met or if we already know each other, just as long as we're having a good conversation :) I only danced with one guy I didn't know and he was a foreign exchange student. Haha, I felt stupid because I didn't notice his accent until he told me. It was great though! :)
How was your Saturday night?
