Life Update!!!
I'd been toying with the idea of chopping off my hair for locks of love again. The only problem was I was sick of my hair and I still had another two inches to go before my hair wouldn't be a buzz cut.
I called my stylist and scheduled an appointment. The moral dilemna was that I was being selfish for wanting my hair cut NOW, and I was getting about 6-8 inches lobbed off... but I decided, I've got a new job... I have to get rid of all my high heeled shoes this weekend doctor's order-- I'm only allowed to wear athletic shoes from this point on... ballz)... I need something to treat myself.
So, the girl that went in looking like this:
Came out look like this:
I was wanting to cut it even shorter, but Nicole (my stylist) was afraid it might make me look really young when I wear it curly. AND I went out and bought a straightener because I like the look so much, AND it only took her 10 minutes to dry and style it-- which is only like 3 or 4 minutes more than I take to do my hair curly so it's totally worth it-- I think the style is cute to the n-th power :-) And i think when I wear it straight, it ages me considerably :-)
When I wear it curly, it looks just like my engagement pictures-- nothing new there, but now I know how to do the straight hair bit with mostly my blow dryer!!!
The other major life event? I am currently coughing and hacking and wheezing. I think I finally caught the flu that's been ravaging the state. After many teasing comments to my flu ridden students about working with elementary students last year, that I hadn't taken a sick day yet, etc... I probably deserve it... but I'm almost out of tissues, and I guess that means (unless he wakes up feeling as sick as I do) that the hubby will have to go to the store for me. I think the weather change down here triggered it... unless...
In high school and college I got sick at the start of EVERY break. It was like my body was fighting the sickness under the high stress I was living in, and when I would go on break, it would relax and my immune system would give in... so since I got this job on Thurs/Fri, and I've been sniffling since Friday morning, I think maybe I'm starting to relax a little in the thought that I do not have to go work at Wendy's flipping burgers to keep my family housed, clothed, and fed. And maybe because I relaxed... that might be why I'm sick. Just a thought.
It could also be a TOTAL fluke.
One of my best buds from College is coming down this week on his spring break and bringing his girl-- I've not met her, so this will be a treat-- unfortunately, today was the day the house was supposed to get cleaned... but it's not gonna happen if I'm sitting on the couch with a mug of tea and a box of tissues all day.
Oh, yeah, and THEN, after Heff and Anna leave, my parents are coming this weekend, and they will take a look at our house...
My life is totally abuzz with excitement... except when it's being dampered by tissues and dayquil, haha. I love ya, ladies, and I hope you stay healthy, cuz this is no fun! Have a great remainder of your weekends!
Ciao!
