The Hair Co.

Before...
um no, i did not cut my hair myself... some people can do it, I'm not one of them.. reasoning for the cut... I've been wanting to cut the blond off my ends for a while. it's not like i went from brown to suddenly blond, but my ends were a lot lighter than my roots. and i didn't want to highlight my hair (1. my hair was pretty long, that can get expensive going in every 6 weeks 2. and i am sort of digging the darker hair- but didn't want to die my whole head darker...) so my hair was finally to a pretty good length, where i could cut off the blond, and i wouldn't really have super short hair... just the normal short (this is probably the shortest my hair has been since like 8th grade). i know that a couple of my sisters went and got hair cuts, and it was the final straw for me, the last push i needed to go and cut it all off....

i went to a little shop called "the hair company" i called ahead and made an appointment. then i called back to find out their payment methods (did i need to go get some cash or what?) she told me that right now their debit machine was broken (not true- when i went a lady was getting her nails done and payed this way) but i think she just wanted some cold hard cash money... i then found out the price i was going to pay for my cut ($36!) i politely told her i would like to cancel my appointment ( i could find a place to do it for 5 bucks... ya digg?) she then said that she was having a "special" and her price was $26... i asked if that included a tip (maybe rude, but i still think she wanted more money than i was willing to pay) she said no... i was about to just cancel for good, but i decided to leave the choice up to her.... so i said that i could go to the bank and pull out increments of $10... i could not pull out $26. i said that i would pull out $20, pay her $15 for the hair cut (which i think is a good price-that's 3X's minimum wage in Idaho- for an hours work!) and if i like the cut she gets another $5 (if i don't like it, then i could still go to a super cuts and have $5 to to get a new hair cut) she promptly accepted my $15 dollar with possible $5 bonus. so an hour and a half later, my hair was short short short. (she was nervous about taking so much off-about 7 inches... but i told her it was my hair, and to just go for it) so after that LONG explanation, here she it, the new cut!
After...(note: i just took a nap with my contacts in, so my eyes are a little red)
From the side...I'll post some curly pics tomorrow!

Lady come down

I love the play "The Importance of Being Earnest" My sisters were in it when they were in high school, and soon after a movie of it came out. I also saw the play a couple times in college. It really is so funny, and well written. I could watch it over and over. And it brings back awesome memories of my sisters. So here's my favorite part from the movie (PS- I love Colin Firth and Rupert Everett)

I also love "An Ideal Husband" which was also written by Oscar Wilde... Mr. Everett also acts in this movie... "Well? Couldn't you you love me just a little bit in return?"~ Lord Aurthur Goring

National Optimism Month

A couple of my old roomies from college are posting about optimism on their blogs.. i guess march is national optimism month... so I'm gonna do the same. i won't promise that I'll post everyday, because lets face it- it won't happen (oops am i not being very optimistic? or am i being honest?). so here are couple things that are looking up in my life
1. the preview of X-Men origins:Wolverine looks awesome, and i can't wait to see it. i think movies this year are gonna be great, there's probably at least 10 different ones I'm pretty excited to see
2. i start my new classes this week, new students (and some returning), new classroom decorations, new month, new trimester...
3. We're having spaghetti and salad tomorrow... and i make some seriously good spaghetti
4-Look at this little girl, need i say more?

I want to post more, perhaps tomorrow when i put up this weeks doodle!

Doodle It Monday!

Well this weeks doodle is another guest artist. we were playing a game at our last girls night and it's a really funny game that has you do tons of random things. one of them is like a pictionary thing and you have 30 seconds to guess what the person is drawing. My friend Callie drew this, and it cracks me up... it had to be the funniest most random thing to draw. so try to guess what it is, and I'll give the winning guess a prize. you have until Thursday, and then I'll tell ya what it really is a picture of. If you were at the girls night (and i know who you are) don't guess until after Thursday.
"Guess the picture"



This is the game we played. i would definitely recommend it. It is seriously a great party game. it's really fun.

don't forget... leave a comment on Mondays (or through out the week on Monday's post) saying what you want me to doodle, I will pick one that "snickers my doodle" (Darick says this about eating snicker doodles, but I think it could also apply here) and then I will doodle it and post it on the next Monday... got it?

UPDATE: The picture is of an Alien Autopsy, congrats to Summer from Artfulife. She will be receiving a toy... something. we'll see how creative I get this weekend:)
