new look coming soon :)

Meaning hair!

i used to dye my hair quite often

prior to military life that is

where now i must only have hair colors that are natural

and i don't even think i am supposed to  do highlights

my fun hair life has halted

now i just do the blonde to brown swap

with the seasons

I am going to try blonde 

with a twist 

maybe?

and am even possibly thinking of leaving it blonde for quite a while

Possibility #1: Kinda Ombre look (slightly darker bangs with blonde hair)

I love Sydneys hair from The Daybook

I like how she is rocking the Ombre look and yet it is still subtle

Possibility #2: Mix Mary Kate and Ashley together

Loving both of their hair colors here..

 now if i could just mix them together i think that would be perfecto!

Possibility #3: SJP

To all my friends and boyfriend.. they know i am slightly in love with 

Sex in the City and Sarah Jessica Parker

Currently my hair is dark brown with horrible regrowth

if the stylist does not feel like doing

Make over Bobbi day

( i pity the stylist that have to deal with me going from brown to blonde, 

the ones i see when i am going from blonde to brown have it easy )

i will gladly settle for this :)

So what do you think??

1,2 or 3??

My bestest is getting feathers put in her hair on monday

i freaked out at first

and was frightened

then i googled "feathers in hair"

and this adorable super awesome pic popped up

i approve!

i cant wait to see her hair when i go home!

(( promise to ambush her. take pics. then put them on here ))

Cant wait for hair on  Saturday @ 10

AA for the week

Awkward & Awesome

Awkward: That even though i live alone 

i can't go to the bathroom/shower with the door open

Awkward: Ruck marches with a knee brace

Awkward: Getting new perfume and loving it, 

while a guy at work says "someone smells like an air freashner"

Awkward: when a stranger makes a comment about my life 

and my reply makes me him bashful and hang his head low

Awkward: When the kid in front of me cried for 20 minutes straight at

a very busy post office.. i gave him a squished face looked 

and he stopped immediately

AND... 

Awesome: Sending out birthday care packages

Awesome: Being inspired by blogs and the playlists -- Thanks everyone

Awesome: The hair appointment i am about to have

( a post will come shortly about this dilemma )

Awesome: I only have two more math classes :) Amen. 

( Still in the running to keep my 4.0 )

Awesome: Registering for Race for the Cure Twin Cities

Awesome: Planning out the most awesome trip home

Awesome: Having a goodbye lunch for someone tomorrow at work

at my favorite place

yay we are mandated to go to my favorite place :)

<3 Love AA

(( Jumping up and down ))

One week

Two days

i will be

HOME

for Three days

but

every day counts

when i know i will be smiling

:)

and this song makes me happy about all of this

Some plans for home:

*bring home all clothes i don't want

*let my friends take all these clothes off my hands

*spend time with the G's (Grandparents)

*eat jimmy johns.caribou.noodles and company.potbelly 

maybe i wont have time to fit all of that in

*Have a healthy sleepover

(( tie dye shirts. wii fit. sushi. more to come ))

*Little bit of shopping

*Race for the Cure - soooo excited

*Lots and lots of pictures EVERYWHERE

So look forward to reading about this awesomeness.

Then the day after i get back 

I have the scary Soldier of the Month Board

( 6 High ranking military personal asks me millions of questions 

about EVERY aspect of the army from the past 200 years... AHHH )

Fingers crossed and positive thoughts about that would be 

much appreciated :)

Happy Tuesday!!

Silence Please

I had no idea about this

But my bestest friend

is a huge supporter of Invisible Children

She explained why they weren't talking for 25 hours:

The money they raise goes towards helping establish communications

between villages that are affected by the LRA

that way if one village gets attacked they are able to radio 

to another to help them escape, take cover or stand ready

So this made me think of how am i going to help.

well i already talked today so thats not going to work

but i am going to put the word out

So check out the site

I guess this makes monday a little more interesting :)

I just miss my peeps...

Being in the Army has defiantly made me more independent

but i don't think i will ever get used to holidays alone

This year was my first christmas, new years, valentines and now easter alone

Every one of these days SUCK

I try to make the best of it

but normally i just cant get over the fact that 

i am anywhere

but where i want to be

and

its hard to see everyone else happy with families or even boyfriends

((it doesn't help that my boyfriend is still in afghanistan for 6 months))

For some reason i normally make it worse for myself

by completely isolating myself

because it hurts even more to hang out with married couples and families

it is the lemon juice to my paper cut

However

i have developed a remedy:

cry for an hour or so

mope about it

vent to my beloved friend on the phone

nap for a few hours

wake up and realize the world is not ending

go get dominos and ice cream

love netflix

and

all is right in the world

after all

i'm a big kid now :)

i guess...

Earth.

First of all

Yay Earth!

I hope everyone gets outside today

and says 

"Thanks Earth for providing everything i need and more

and for looking so beautiful while you do it

and i am sorry people keep continually chopping you down

and gutting you for the stupidest reasons"

This is my favorite quote about nature

We do not inherit the earth from our ancestors, we borrow it from our children.

-Native American Proverb

Today in honor of Earth Day

((and the fact that i am doing a little spring wardrobe shopping tomorrow))

I am de-cluttering!

Here is my plan of action:

1) Go through EVERY drawer

- Throw/shred papers i don't need

-File papers i do need

- organize

2) Try on EVERY piece of clothing i own

- See if it fits

- See if i even like it

- I already have a pile growing, the goal is to downsize by 10 more items

3) Clean room with all natural cleaning products :)

4) Go to the lake to enjoy the outdoors

I hope you take a second out of your day

just to say

YAY EARTH!

A to the A

Awkward and Awesome

Awkward is the knee brace i have to wear

new nickname "bionic women"

Awkward being cranky in the morning and unfortunately coworkers

seeing this

Awkward never knowing where i park my car

then smirking at my car when i find it

as if its the one moving on me

Awkward getting really excited to pull up to my car

when i left it in a parking lot all by itself

and saying out loud 

"OMG it looks like my car is smiling"

i promise im not 5

Awkward when people invite you along with your plans

and you really just have more fun hanging out

with yourself

AND

Awesome it is thursday and i don't have work on friday or monday

 Awesome that i set up a Gofundme website 

and got enough people to donate in one week
