this is not the most amazing and beautiful photo of shannon. she is much better looking in real life. so am i, or at least i aspire to be. so are shannon's long-term best friends, sister, and nephew. i hate my flash, but i wanted to be in the group and i didn't trust anybody else with my normal dark and blurry photo settings. and besides, when you're dressed to imitate how you would've dressed at age 8 if only your mother had let you out of the house wearing hot pink lipstick and five colors of eye-shadow, amazingly beautiful might not exactly be the desired effect...yay for shannon, who had the awesomest rollerskating party i've been to in decades!
i bought some gjetost cheese at kroger tonight. expensive, but for once it's a cheese truly unlike any cheese i was familiar with. it's norwegian and it's amazing. it reminds me a little of something... maybe some of the better cheeseballs you get at the holidays? that little bit of sweetness to go with the salty? but it's golden brown and semi-soft. yummy.
