Locks Of Love

So for the past several months I have wanted to chop my hair and donate it to Locks of Love. I saw Hilary Swank do it on Oprah and so I thought why not. I mean my hair grows fast and I would love to give to others who can't grow hair like mine. After serious contemplation I went into cut it only to half chicken out and half wait for it to grow a little longer. So with the new year I just felt I needed a change. Last week I called my good friend Brittany and schedule an appointment to cut it.

BEFORE




To Donate your hair to Locks of Love they have some specific requirements. Your hair can't be bleached.. you must donate at least 10 inches... you must put the hair in a ponytail or braid and cut it.


THE CUT






I had no idea what I wanted my hair to look like or the style I wanted so I told Brittany- I trust you just do what you want. She did an awesome job and I love my hair. I haven't had my hair short since kindergarten when I had a mushroom cut. See below





AFTER HAIR




I love it. I am so glad I took the plug and chopped it off. My next post will be the hair all ready and packaged up to send to Locks of Love.

The Element

I was driving home yesterday and had stopped at the bank to deposit a check. With the few spare minutes I had while waiting, I took time to look down and on my odometer and I saw this!There is something cool about looking down when the mileage hits a perfect number.

I purchased the element during the summer and went to vegas to pick it up with some girls from work. I have loved it each and everyday. It is wonderful in the snow and Millie loves the rides up to Sandy. I have packed the thing full and it fits everything. People who ride in the back alway comment on how roomy and spacious it is. So this is a tribute to my wonderful black element. Yes it does look like a box, but one awesome box at that. Until you have been in one you can't bash.

Best Friends For Years To Come

Trey Robinson and Logan Barnett are destined to be best friends for a long time. I mean come on, they are already best friends. After an evening with them I was sore from laughing so hard. Everytime I watch Trey we end up watching Aladdin. It is so funny. We always go through this huge movie selection and we lay them all out and in the end Aladdin always gets picked. My favorite is when Aladdin comes to the palace and there is the parade. Everytime it comes on Trey dances and jumps up and down. Usually after it is all over he will say "again" so we watch it all over again. These two cute pictures are of the boys fully engaged in the movie.

On this special evening there was a fog that played a rap song. Just with a press of a button it plays and I caught the boys dancing. Check out the video. It is really blurry since the boys are jumping so much! Trey has the jumping down and logan has this stand still shake going. Both I think could totally get the ladies in a few years.

Answers

My dearest and best friend Lindsey Jill is a fanatic about blogging. I love it. I think she motivates me to blog. She got tagged and tagged me of course. So I thought I would write answers to the questions. I recently watched Catch and Release for the millionth time. I really like it. Anyway there is a scene in the movie where they are at dinner and she blurts out things people don't know about her. Her fiancee, who has passed away, never knew certain things her. As I thought about that I realized I don't ever want to look back and think I wish I would have told people this or this about me. Since then I have been obsessed with questions and getting to know people more. Games like twenty questions.... Well anyway I will stop blabbing and get to the questions and answers.

10 Years Ago: I was in 7th grade at Eastmont Middle School. I was heavy into soccer and played in the Orchestra. I sat next to this cello player and secretly fell in love with the intrument. I was in those awkward stages of growing up and had many more freckles than I do now (believe it or not I really did)

Snacks I enjoy (some of them I love): Dr. Pepper, Chocolate, Wheat Thins and Babybel cheese, Ice Cream, German Chocolate cake, Funfetti Cake, ok ALL Desserts, Bread, Twix and Snickers, lays ruffle chips with my grandmothers clam dip, the list goes on and on.

Start a business. Buy a building in a city and remodel a loft. Buy a library. The list goes on...

Things people don't know about me:
- I love showers and baths. I am obsessed. I would love to take three a day, but it just doesn't work out so sometimes I only get two. When I get out I usually am thinking about when I will be about to take another one
- I love to see movies. I have this thing in the last year or so that I really only like to watch movies that make me happy after I see them (ok really just don't like scary movies- not because I am afraid I just don't not coming out of a movie and feeling good)
- I have to have my closet color cordinated. The clothes start on the left with blacks and are organized to the right to white.
- I want my little girl to play the cello and I would love to take lessons. I want a music room and I want to teach harp lessons.
- I love Dr. Pepper. I can live without it and I don't have to have it. I know this because I have stopped drinking it several times and I do ok. That doesn't mean I like to do it. So each morning I get a Dr. Pepper and I enjoy it so much. It is the drink I can always drink and think I always will like it.

Well I hope you have all enjoyed reading a little bit about me. I will not tag anyone but I do encourage you to open yourself up to others. Let people know the real you. It can do no harm.
