My friends and I. I'm the one standing in an odd slouch position on the right.
What color is my hair? I can't believe I don't know this. I think of myself as blonde. But then I see a picture of myself like this and am shocked that it looks red. I've had a couple people refer to me as a redhead before too, but I thought it was because I dyed my hair red three years ago right before I started optometry school and just figured they still thought of me as the way they met me instead of what I am now.
When I was a kid I had white blonde hair. When I was in high school I had perfect thick golden blonde hair. Women would point to me in hair salons and say "I want my hair to be like hers." It has continued to darken every year. If you grab a handful of my hair and examine it closely you will see that about 75% of the strands are blonde and straight, and about 25% of the strands are red and curly. That's why my hair is this horribly in between of being not curly or even wavy but too frizzy to really look straight and shiny either. I hate how dull and icky it looks. I wish I had either red curls, or nice shiny straight blonde hair. Not both.
I was thinking of taking it really blonde, but now I don't know how good that would look. Ugh. I really miss having pretty hair. Now I just feel like it looks horrible no matter what I do. I don't know how to work with its split personality.

I almost hit a cat tonight. It ran right in front of my car and I sneezed at the exact moment I saw it, making avoiding it difficult, since you can't sneeze with your eyes open no matter how hard you try. It was a close call but the cat was fine. I was traumatized though. It's a nightmare of mine that I'll hit someone's cat or dog someday. My heart was just pounding after it happened.

I went to Target today and it was one of those days I just couldn't handle it. Too. Much. Crap. All I wanted was some storage bins for packing/long term storage. But then I had to deal with an entire aisle with at least 65 different sizes and styles of bins. Nothing labeled well, all the lids are separate, so once you find the bin you want you have to figure out what stack of lids matches. Everything is priced slightly differently. So I had to debate what made an $8.00 better than a $6.00 bin. Have of the stuff was above a red line and you had to dial for assistance to get that down. Screw that. So that narrowed it down for me, only buying what I can reach. But still, am I the other person who gets so overwhelmed by choices like this? I finally just bought the cheapest ones. But on the way to the check out they got kind of awkward. Maybe the $9 ones with large hand holds are worth it after all.
