Life. Bullet point style.

• This blogger is going to be taking a breather for a little while. 

• I some stuff going on personally that need my full attention, not that this took up a ton of time, but I am afraid I am going to reach my breaking point and unload on here and I am not ready to let the world wide web in on this situation. 

• I will still post, probably short and sweet posts like this one. 

• I am having to keep myself in check. You know when an aspect in your life is spiraling and you just want to change everything? That is where I am, I dyed my hair really dark brown, sketched possible tattoo ideas last night, priced out getting my nose re-pierced and made an appointment to get my hair chopped off today.

I guess I just need to feel edgy and hard. 

• I have decided that I don't really like eye shadow for my daytime look, I am leaning more towards a more washed out look. I think it has to do with my new found appreciation for my fair skin. 
• I straightened my hair last night and can't stop touching it
• I downloaded a bunch of new music, it is pretty much keeping me running
• My dad's birthday is Sunday and I am making his gift and haven't even started...fail
• Everything is up in the air and I hate it
• I so want to throw everything in my closet away and replace everything.I think this is due to my above statement, I am craving major changes right now. 
• I am sick. Every time I think I am getting over it, it creeps back up... dumb head cold. 
• I stopped biting my nails. This has been 26 years in the making people! 
• I finally got my stocking swap package and will post it's amazing contents tomorrow. 
• I keep thinking it is Wednesday...lame. 

Chop: Results

I did it!

I ended up not going too extremely short due to I was already nervous about it. After it was dry and what not, I don't think I will go any shorter.... for now.

You know how I was all like "Nerds! I hate my perm!" and all that silliness, well this hair cut has given it new life and I think I am in "like" with it.

Here is before:

This is me, all smiles on the outside

Dread and doubt filled on the inside.

This is the longest my hair has been since 2005, it was mid back, that is crazy long! I didn't have a chance to straighten it before I got it cut to see how long it really it was but ce la vie.

Here is the result! I was dumb and didn't get a good picture RIGHT after but it looks the same as it did on Saturday afternoon. So It is about shoulder length with lots of layers, why did I ever turn my back on layers? My hair loves them.

I am thinking about going back and getting the products she used on my hair because my hair hasn't been as soft and shiny as it was that day. I don't know if I want to shell out the kind of dough for a mini sized bottle, ya feel me?

What do you guys think? Better short or long?

Chop.

I got a perm and never really liked it.

I mean it worked some days, but most days it is a complete mess... like today. It is thrown up in a top not and that STILL can't contain the awfulness.

I prefer my hair on the long side and after my wedding I felt I desperately needed a change so I got my hair chopped about a year after and husband wasn't too fond of it, I believe his first remark was "I CAN SEE YOUR NECK?!?!?!".

Well I am back to that place, should I or shouldn't I.

I wouldn't go that short, I want, nay, NEED to be able to put my hair up in a pony tail.

Here's my train of thought.

1. My perm  growing out. I have about 4 inches of new growth of hair and I am proud to say it looks like my old hair (PRAISE!).  
2. My perm is falling out I am now faced with either having to straighten my hair, or load my hair down with product to force the remaining curl to curl. If I let it air dry or I don't put the right amount or to little product in it, it looks like half straight, half weird semi wave thing and a hole lotta friz.

So my thought is if I get it cut, and keep up with the 6 week trim, my hair will back to normal, or mostly normal in no time. Also, if it is shorter I can blow dry it and straighten it easier than it is now.

No joke if I want to straighten my hair it takes at least 2 hours.

In the back of my mind too I am thinking that maybe if I get it cut shorter the curls will bounce back a little. I know my hair is weighing my curls down.

Here are some styles I am throwing around (please don't laugh at the second one, this is legit)

I think this may be too short, so add a couple inches and we would be in business. I need layers back in my life.

I have always wanted to get this hair style and never did, still maybe to short

Happy medium?

I am not going to lie, I am a little gun shy to let anyone touch my hair. It is times like this I miss Matt and his unyielding advice about my hair.

What do you think?

The chop. Yay or Nay?

19 days

19 Days!!! I can't believe I am getting married in 19 days....

And nothing got done this weekend :(

That's right nothing.... well I did cut ribbon.

So This is what happened.

On Friday put my car in the shop and waited to see what the diagnosis was. For those of you who don't know on Wednesday of last week my car crapped out on me, I had no power locks, no head lights, no windshield wipers, and best of all no speedometer.

Got the call late Friday that is was in fact my computer, and that the estimated cost of repair was $1000.00! I was so upset. I had just put $800.00 in to my car for a new air conditioner and now the computer? I had already started looking for a replacement car just in case.

I called a car dealership inquiring about a Honda element. I decided I wanted something that I had personal experience with and knew I could run in to the ground... case and point my brothers first car 1989 Honda accord had 300,000 miles on it before it crapped out. I called the car place on Friday and the element was still there and Andy said he would have it pulled around waiting for me on Saturday morning. Fiance and I get up and roll on over to the car dealership and we meet Andy. I like this guy instantly, he is freaking hysterical and so eases my worry a smidge. We go and we test drive the element ( I let Matthew drive because I had already test driven one before) and he doesn't like it. Needless to say the engine isn't powerful enough to pull that big of a car, so what was going to be the case when I have to haul something? While we are driving around Andy calls me to get my car, So we drive to Hilliard and I get my car... now remember all that I listed was wrong with it? So now I have to drive this thing on the Free way. Can you say nervous? Yeah totally was. We are on our way back to the dealership and of course my check engine light comes on. I throw on my hazards because I am now waiting for my car to either die or explode. Fiance calls me, Frantic because he is thinking the same thing, I tell him it is just a precaution.

I make sure to turn off my hazards when I pull in to the car dealership, but I made it there in once piece. As to not bore you I will cut the next few hours of my life down to a few sentences...
they don't turn my car on they look it over and check the millage.
they said they will give me the $67oo that my jeep is worth
we start negotiating price
we call our parents because we are both inexperienced car buyers
then the moment happened. We were getting ready to walk away when Andy looks up my cars carfax report. We look it over and see that the computer had already been replaced once before. WHAT!?!?!?!? Now, I recall quite clearly when I bought the jeep they told me there was a short and showed me the carfax report and nothing was yellow or red (which in carfax means stay away). So when Andy showed it to us and there it was in black and white we decided we needed to walk away with a car that day, from Andy because they already agreed to give me bluebook for my hunk of crap jeep. After 4 and a half hours at the car dealership we walked away with a 2006 Subaru Forester. It totally isn't something that I would EVER pick for myself but for my family it will be perfect.

The rest of Saturday I cut ribbon and tried to get the recipe cards to print.... yeah right. That FAILED!

Sunday I had all of this help just sitting around because 1. it took forever to get the set up for the program correct and 2. the printer was soooooooooooooooooooooooooo slow. So my DIY weekend really turned out to be a lot of frustation and sitting around. I think tonight I am going to suck it up and pay office max to do it... no biggie.

Best man update.... He is a douche and all he did was let Fiance down and piss me off. I hope he comes up here so I can get tipsy and give him a piece of my mind ( I want people to be able to blame it alcohol and not me being rude).

Hair update: Hair trial number 2 went really well an I like what she did soooooooooo much better. So it is going to be half up with a little Bouffant. Can't wait. She also put extensions in and I couldn't stop loving how full my hair looked.... I was actually kind of sad to see them out.

So this is weird but I think I am getting a stye? My upper eyelid is really red and inflamed... great. That will look hot in pictures.

Speaking of Pictures...

Here is my new mom car... er.. I mean ride....

alright I do done for now.

Love.
