My Hair Again

I haven’t had anything done to my hair since my last post. So basically that means that it’s only continuing to grow on out. I really do plan to seek professional help at the end of the month. I’m just trying to wait as long as I can because I don’t want to have to do it again before baby arrives. I’m also thinking about going back to my original color so I don’t have such obvious roots.

Anyhoo… the point of this story…

As I’m walking into work this morning, I have a co-worker tell me that my hair looks really good. Then she asks if I had it cut and colored.

Do what? Hello, look at the inch of dark roots dangling out of my scalp!!! Does that look recently colored? Um, no.

I told her, no, no cut or color recently. Then she says, Oh, you must have just styled it this morning.

Again, no. I just dried it like normal. It doesn’t look any different today than any other day. NO CHANGE!! And for you to say that insinuates that you don't think I "style" my hair on a regular basis. And I think that's kind of bold to say to me.

What’s up with these people?

Oh, wait a minute. This same hair person is the same person that had issues with my earrings.

Why can’t these people just bask in my beauty and be done with it?

Hair

Do you see this mess? It’s too much for me to handle. This is what happens when you color your own hair and then you’re too lazy to do it on a regular basis.

The more I look at this picture, the worse it gets. I mean really. I can't stop staring. It’s like a train wreck. You don’t want to keep looking, but you can’t help it.

First let me say that from this angle I look like I’m losing my hair. You can clearly see my scalp in my part. Is that normal? Seriously, is it?

And the color… what’s up with that? It looks orange or something. Now I did take this with my cell phone, but I don’t think that had too much to do with it. It was supposed to be blonde.

Now I’m wondering, does it look as bad from the front as it does from the top? I sure hope not. When I look in the mirror it doesn’t seem like it does. I’m too scared to take a picture of myself from the front for fear of what it will look like.

I really think I need professional help.

Lunch

An extra long cheese coney and a Rt 44 grape slush makes the perfect lunch. I think there may have been some french fries involved too. Now I have a pretty purple mouth to show the client I'm expecting in a few minutes.

I just hope the brain freeze does not effect my ability to interview this person.

Oh and I'm hiding the humongous, gigantic Rt 44 cup behind my desk.

Weekend!!

I plan to make a terrarium this weekend with Gavin. I’ve already got the container set aside. I even have some potting soil. I think we can pick up some decorative rocks at the dollar store. I just need a couple low maintenance plants. I can’t wait to put this together. I think I’m more excited about it than he is.

Oh, and there’s a flea market at the fair grounds on Saturday too. I will put on my blinders and head straight for the kettle corn. They sell a bag that’s about 3 feet long. Stuffed full of delicious kettle corn. Once I’ve got my hands on that, all will be right with the world. I feel like a fool carrying that gigantic bag out of the place, especially eating as I go, but what can I do? I must have it. Plus, I’m sure it’s very good for a pregnant woman. It’s made of corn after all. That’s a vegetable.

Nursery

I think we have finally decided on the nursery theme!! Yay!! I thought my mom would sew some custom nursery décor but she seems to have bombed out on me. Oh well. I wanted something baby-ish, but most certainly not girly. Hubby is so concerned about that. This is what we’ve found. Baby-ish and in no way girly.
Hubby has even offered to paint the room. I can't believe it. Of course, whether that actually happens or not remains to be seen. Still, nice thought.

Now we just need to get a crib and dresser. Oh and a bassinet. And probably some other things I can’t think of right now. Then we’ll be good to go. Only 3 months left. It seems like a long time, but the past few months have really flown by.

Once I get the room together, I’ll take pictures. That is assuming that the room is together before the baby takes up residence there.

The Hills are Alive with the Sound of Moo-sic

I stepped out on my back desk yesterday and for some reason there were cows all over the yard beside me. Normally I see them grazing out in the field, but I’m not normally home during the day either. Maybe 10-ish is the time they lay around under the trees. Lookie at all the cows... and baby cows...



Maybe these 2 got a good look at me still in my nightgown.



This is how I feel. You can't even get comfortable, can you? I feel your my pain, my dear.



I see you looking at me. What are you looking at? Never seen a nightgown before? So what if it's 10-ish. I've been working around the house. At least I'm not just laying around like you...

Now you 2 are staring at me too? I can see you through the leaves. You aren't hiding. Quit looking at me!!! Go nurse a calf or something!!

Recipes

I need help. I usually plan meals before going to the grocery store and I’m in a rut. Lately I’ve been making the same things over and over. Frankly, I’m tired of it. I am making a lot of pasta or rice dishes. Nothing wrong with pasta and rice, but I really need something new and exciting. Actually, it doesn’t even have to be exciting, just new. As long as it tastes good and it’s easy, I’m all for it.

I would love to be able to share some of my favorite recipes with you guys. I’d love it even more if you could share some recipes with me!!

If you’ve got an easy weekdayd meal, please send it to me. Then I will share it with everyone.
