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!

One Confused Lady

Yesterday morning was packed with a session of cross training.....rushed home to shower and get professional-looking....headed across town for an interview.....kicked butt at my interview...."bopped" over to our house to see the progress of the build......headed to the "design center" to sign more paperwork.... (Side note: I cannot get over just how much paperwork is involved in building a house. Holy Hannah. And we haven't even closed !!! Iy-yi-yi....Those lovely people in history who got law-suit-happy.....God bless 'em.) Yesterday was a good day! So here's a little humor for your Thursday. A little thought. A little depth.....( A little cynical rant ) Afterwards, I decided to head to one of my favorite places to peruse.... Target. But my experience at Target was far from fun, relaxing, or pleasant. Just confusing. Loud. Crazy. Despite many screaming children-temper tantrums.... Which is common and un-escapable. Although screaming chi...

A weekend of the great outdoors

As I am preparing for my return to the real world tomorrow, I feel a strong sense of dread. As I won't have a weekend or free week for a long while! Instead of focusing on that.......I'm sharing a few snapshots from our awesome weekend! This weekend we were in Big Lake, AZ -- which is about 20 miles from the New Mexico border (just 5 1/2 hours from our house). (last weekend we were in Parker Canyon...which I will blog about another day) We camped from Friday-Monday, which was the perfect length of time. The temperatures were a great escape from hot Tucson. In fact...it was VERY cold at night. It was in the low 30's at night, 60's during the day. The trout fishing was incredible. Here's a few snapshots: Home Sweet Home for the weekend! Look at the giant tree I cut down!!! Wow!! (Okay, this was posed...) But...Ryan did teach me how to use a wood-saw! There were tons of dead/fallen trees lying around. So we cut all our firewood for the weekend! I felt very ...

Ten on Tuesday!

1. If you could travel back in time, would you? What decade would you visit? I would. I think I'd visit the 50's, just for a week - for it'd probably get really old. Sometimes... I just want to wear cute house dresses and aprons. And the only care in the world would be cooking and cleaning and being an all-star housewife. 2. What was your best Halloween costume? (fun to make? most creative?) Probably the clown costumes my Mom sewed when I was young. They were amazing. Also, an occasion in college when all the girls hit the frats dressed up as sexy nurses, naughty cops, and other profanities....I taped purple balloons all over my body and went as a "Bunch of Grapes". Classy. 3. Do you like your name? If you weren't called by your name, what would you want to be called? I would love my name. But everyone seems to think it's cool to name their dogs Abby these days too. I know so many people who are like "Your name is Abby? Oh cool! That'...
