Chopped

"You never know what you're gonna get"

That's the attitude with me, and my "beauty/style" life.

In my lifetime (which has been considerably short...I'm 22!) I have had:

-Very very short hair, long hair, red hair, auburn hair, blonde hair, REALLY blonde hair, brown hair, brown hair with blonde high lights, brown hair with red & blonde highlights, permed hair, straight hair....

...You get the point....I'm pretty "bold" about hair. It's hair. It'll grow back. If it's too blonde, you can dye it darker...etc.

So we have had 3 consecutive days that have hit about 100. Yesterday was 101. I'm burning up!

It's been 6 months since I've had a haircut.

So...I went in today for a "trim".

And I went from this:




To This.....


The "kicker" is that my husband, Ryan...has absolutely no clue I did this. I told him this morning, "I think I'm going to go in to get my hair trimmed. It's getting rather unhealthy".

What I didn't tell him is that I'd be getting multiple inches chopped off!! Luckily, Ryan's idea of a "good haircut" for me -  is one that makes me happy. He doesn't care what I do with my hair - as long as it makes me smile, and doesn't involve 2 hours of blowdrying/straightening/curling/primping. So, I think he will approve!

I fee so much less hot!!!!!! This heat did it for me! And maybe it makes me look older? I'm sick of people telling me I look 14!!!!!! Especially when I have patients/patients family's in the ICU look at me and say, "YOUR taking care of me???!! YOUR going to be a nurse in a few months? You look like your 12!"

Very cute! It suits you!

I have the same attitude about hair - it's always going to grow back or you can dye it another colour, so you may as well take some risks with it!

Looks cute, Abby! What a concept...a haircut to make me look older. Hmmm, maybe not!

Ha, I have the same problem w/ people thinking I am younger - that happens when I wear my hair curly. People have asked me if I am 18 or in high school. Or on a plane, when they ask if i have graduated yet, and I tell yes, I got my masters last year they say - oh my, I meant undergrad, my you look young. :)

Now that I am approaching 30, I don't mind it so much, do I remember the days when it royally pissed me off & I wanted to be taken more seriously.

Anyways, enough babbling. I love the haircut. You look so great w/ any length of hair (except I don't like either of us w/ short hair, but I do think it looks great on Emily!). Anyways, it is a wonderful feeling to chop it off. I did that when I did locks of love and it was the best feeling ever!

ABC

We are home from a wonderful, extended-weekend-getaway to Omaha. It was filled with family, relaxations, and greatness. I will do a more detailed recap on it soon! In the meantime, I'm doing this ABC bit that I stole from my cousin 's blog! Also, no -- I did not get switched to days. Trust me, I would've told the entire world and screamed it from roof-tops if I did. A. Age: 22, but that will change on Sunday. B. Bed size: King C. Chore you dislike: Cleaning the shower - especially dealing with hard-water stains. Lime away=ouch D. Dogs: Really really really really really dislike. Really dislike. Sorry. I could do a post in itself about my dislike for canines. E. Essential start to your day: Bowl of oatmeal/or cereal with bananas. Or fruit F. Favorite color: Greeen G. Gold or silver: Definitely silver. H. Height: 5'4'' - Sometimes I lie & say 5'5''. Some people lie about their weight, age, haircolor...I lie about my height. I...

Currently - May edition

   I haven't blogged much - but the last time I did one of these, Maddy was 9 months old. It's really fun looking back on the things that were "stressors" to me at that time. Prior to that - my currently post was a pregnancy edition.  So here goes May 2022. Maddy is almost a 15-month old and summer has set ablaze here in Tucson.   Reading :  I really wish I had a better answer for this one, but I have not been the best about reading lately. The only book I'm reading is "How to talk to your kids so they'll listen and listen so they'll talk". It is really good. Most of the book is geared more to school-aged kids, in my opinion. But it highlights some great communication skills with children to help them trust you as a parent to be open and honest. Eating: All the smoothies. It has been getting really hot here - and every day when we get home from our stroller run I make a smoothie for Maddy with whole milk, Fage, and fruit - and then a smoothie for...

Pandemic Pregnancy

Dearest Sebastian,  This will be a more sobering letter, but I don't think I can write about my pregnancy without addressing the big elephant in the room.  I write this letter to you in grave hopes that by the time you're old enough to read these letters, COVID-19 is something you read about in your history books. However, by the time you're taking history classes, I am sure you won't have textbooks. I'm sure some robot will tell you about it.  I hope that you go to a busy, bustling school with activities, contact sports, and choir. (all things that currently don't exist). I hope you had a childhood where you could play tag. (currently banned). I hope you have school pictures where you are making faces at the camera that is not hidden behind a mask. But given the current state, your mama is not so sure what kind of world she is bringing you into. At this point, all I can tell you is that I promise your Dad and I will travel with you and make life as special as w...
