On Sunday, I re-dyed my hair. It's still black, of course. But my roots were showing, and my hair color was fading. And with Friday being the special day, I needed my hair fixed.

My eyelashes were too short to perm. Woe is me. But I was still able to get them tinted. So now they're tinted black. It looks like I'm wearing mascara, without actually having mascara on. Of course, I'm still going to wear mascara. I'm imagining tinted eyelashes AND mascara will look pretty incredible. We'll see. I also got my eyebrows waxed. It sucked that my eyelashes couldn't be permed, but I was cursed with short eyelashes. But it DID save A LOT of money. If I was able to get my eyelashes permed, it would have been a total of $46. But since I couldn't get my eyelashes permed, it was only a total of $21. My father paid for my salon appointment, which was really nice of him.

After my salon appointment, I went to Build-A-Bear. The closest one is over at Countryside Mall. I ended up buying the "Traditional Cocoa Bear" teddy. He's soft and fluffy. And he looks exactly how a teddy bear should look. I want to make him look like my boyfriend. So I bought a newborn baby onesie with "Fox Racing", "Yamaha", and "Rockstar Energy" logos on it. Which are the logos he wears the most, when he wears his dirt bike gear. And that should be here sometime this week. Hopefully. The teddy came with blue eyes. And that was a HUGE problem. My boyfriend has brown eyes. I can't make the teddy bear look like him, if the eyes aren't the same color. So I bought a pack of 15mm brown "safety eyes", off Amazon. Build-A-Bear had a "Buy 2 for $35 Sale" going on. So I ended up getting the "Red Power Ranger" teddy bear, too. I got the "Red Power Ranger" stuffed (Maybe TOO stuffed...), had the "Power Rangers" theme song recorded onto a device and shoved inside of his paw, put a small wishing heart inside of him, made him a Birth Certificate, and gave him an "air bath". As for the "Traditional Cocoa Bear"... I didn't get anything done to him. I took home the "skin". Along with the "Record A Personal Message" device. When I got home, my mother took out the teddy bear's blue eyes and replaced them with the brown eyes that I purchased. It IMMEDIATELY made me happy! When my boyfriend is here, I'm going to have him record, "I love you." onto the "Record A Personal Message" device. Then my mother is going to cut open the teddy's arm, and put the device inside of the paw. The reason my mother has to do that is because this teddy bear has JOINTS. The plastic joints are in his shoulders and thighs. And they're solid. You can't remove them. You literally need to slice open the teddy's arm to insert anything into his paw. It's pretty different. Anyway... After the device is inside of the teddy's paw, my boyfriend and I are going to Build-A-Bear. And then we're going to have my teddy stuffed, put a small wishing heart inside of him, make him a Birth Certificate, and give him an "air bath". And then he'll be done! And after he's all done, I just need to put the newborn onesie on him. And then the teddy will be 100% complete. And since the teddy is going to look like my boyfriend, I'm also naming him after my boyfriend. Since my boyfriend is Steven III (Named after his father and grandfather.), my teddy is going to be Steven IV. Once my teddy bear is complete, I'll post a photo of him. Along with the stock photo, that shows him with blue eyes. As a comparison photo.

When my boyfriend is here, I'm going to take him on a date to "Tsunami Japanese Steakhouse". He wants the Crab and some Udon Noodles. And I want the Sirloin Steak with Noodles and Fried Rice. And they cook the food in front of you. So I thought that would be a nice first date for us. And then I have a "Regal Cinemas" gift card. So I'm going to use that gift card and take us to see "The Dark Tower", over at Largo Mall. I'm not expecting him to have a lot of money on him. Especially since he gets paid the day he comes to visit me. And by the time he pays off his bills... He's not going to have ANY money. But I still want us to go on dates, while he's here. Plus, I just recently sold BOTH of my old tablets. Which I only used once for each of them. Because they both sucked. So that was a total of $50 that I made. That EASILY covers the cost of our dinner date. And I already had the gift card. So I technically won't be spending money, when you think about it. Plus, he's the most important person in my life. And good boyfriends deserve to be spoiled and taken out on dates, too. That shouldn't JUST be a thing that guys do for girls.

It's after midnight. So now there are only TWO days left! I'm still not nervous, or anxious. I'm just really excited. My boyfriend is constantly telling me that he can't wait to hold me and kiss me. It's hard to feel nervous or anxious, when I have someone that is constantly reminding me how much he loves me and how excited he is to see me. And I'm BEYOND excited to see him. I plan to take SO MANY photos with him. So I plan to spam Facebook AND my blog with photos of us.

Speaking of photos...
