I did it! I cut my hair. I know, very interesting. Big, Big news. I wasn't a huge fan at first- but after flipping it around in my own bathroom and shaking all the Salon look out of it, it's growing on me. I luhhhhhhhve the color. Sorry for the creepy Photo Booth pictures. It's all I got:
Shorter, thinner, blonder. Wish this was ME, not my HAIR!
I kid, I kid.
K is currently at the grocery store getting me a box of brownie mix. {k: "What kind do you want? Chocolate Chip Chewy?" me: "NO CHOCOLATE CHIP! JUST FUDGY CHEWY!" am I pregnant or what.} And, yes, it's 9:30 at night, what's it to ya? I have been craving brownies for the past two days and can't wait to eat the whole pan with a half gallon of milk tonight. Now that I say that out loud I think eating the batter sounds equally as delicious. So much for being thinner!
That's it. I'm cutting my hair. I know, I think it's a good idea and then I hate it- every time. But ya know... this 15-20 minute blow drying business is getting really old. I am just too sick to do it every day. And I'm not yet at the point where I don't care what I look like. For the most part.
I saw this picture of Ms. Aniston on Pinterest. While I know my hair will never look like hers, I still think there's something do-able about it. It looks like she could blow dry it in about 5. I like it.
I have never had a dramatic hair cut by someone and not cry afterwards. Except Deena. She is awesome. The catch is I have to drive to Kennesaw to spare my tears. Good thing my bestie lives there. Makes it worth the trip.
I think I'm gonna get some color in this wasp nest too. And get her to thin it out by about 80%. I once tried to thin my hair out myself with some over the counter thinning shears. So glad that worked out. I've noticed that hair grows back, so I am not afraid of the scissor anymore.
I hope to take some pictures and capture some awesome moments that have been going on around here as soon as I can lift my head off the pillow without feeling queasy. Yike. This pregnancy is so much different than Cham Cham's! I threw up a lot with Chamblee, but overall felt pretty good most of the time. This time around I am so nauseous it's literally paralyzing. But no throwing up. It's backward.
We absolutely, positively could not be any happier about it. Thrilled, actually.
Don't let the picture fool ya, Cham Cham is giddy to her toes (and super sweepy).
I've been a slack sack on the blog lately- mainly due to this new baby I got growin' on. Less throwing up, more migraines and nausea. Hooray!
On the advice of my Bro.In.Law, I think we are going to start hosting a game night at our house once a month. It's hard for us to get out to meet friends- especially together- with having a baby and all. Babysitters are expen$ive (you like how I did that?) Not to mention a number of our pals just don't live very close by. So. I am thinking it would be fun, for those who like games, and I'm taking a poll. Would you go to a game night once a month? What games do you looooove? Here are some of my favorites:
For the past week I have been out in California- mostly for my youngest brother's wedding. We flew out to Arcata, CA and drove inland to the Trinity River. It is the most beautiful part of the country I think. The wedding was in probably the most beautiful spot I have ever seen a wedding! Crystal blue river, green, green grass, orchard, deer walking among us, and no cell signal. A dream. I didn't take my camera out west, so I have {with permission} jacked some of the photos from the photographer's Facebook page to share with you this awesome day:
K helping to hang lights... that would later look like this:
And, of course, a couple shots of my sweet little girl:
The second part of the week was spent in Santa Barbara at my sister's house with her husband and four kids! So. Much. Fun. I was treated like royalty, as usual, when I visit her. I don't know if I am a total loser when I host people- but the C's are rockstars. I mean, the best breakfasts, lunches and dinners. The most fun with tours and card games. Ever. More laughing than should be allowed. It's so much fun. Chamberony-Roo got to meet 3 of her 5 cousins for the first time and it was a BLAST!!! They loved on her and made her laugh so. dadgum. hard. coughmovetotheeastcoastcough I, again, didn't have my camera- but here are a couple of videos to give you an idea of what Cham did a lot of while visiting. The first one is the cake--- the second one, the icing:
Here I sit in a hotel room alone... Well, not alone. Chamblee is thumb sucking away in her pack.n.play next to my half empty king sized bed.
K is currently on the Red Eye back to Georgia and I'm already sad. I just hate dropping him off and seeing him kiss the baby byebye for a few days. You see I'm flying to my sister's house tomorrow. 4 days in Santa Barbara. I know, I know. What's to complain about.
5 days on the west coast and Chamblee is officially off GA time and pushing a 2 hour bedtime extension on CA time. How. are we gonna fix this! At this rate when we get home she will be going to bed at 1am and waking up around 10. Hmmmmm no thank you.
I can't wait to get to a real keyboard and tell you all about how amazing this week has been. From God doing some crazy InYourFace hands on miracles to my brother marrying the sweetest most perfect gal for him. This trip: so far, so great.
For now, I downloaded my church service from today and just crawled into bed. Bunny by my side I'm hoping for some good rest. Hope you all have had as much fun this weekend as I have!
I mean there's too much going on in this house. Blogging seems like a great idea and then so do the other 4 thousand things I have to do. So, I am taking a 5 minute break to give you some pictures of our bunny rabbit enjoying her summer so far. Sorry, that's all I've got in me. There will be 5 visitors in our house tonight. Plus the 3 of us. So you know me. Dusting, Pushing the button on the Roomba vacuuming, mopping, sheet washing, dog grooming, laundering, cloroxing, you name it. It has got to be cleaned. Today. Oh, and baby taking care of. That's right. Thank the Lawd K has today off work.
As promised:
And my other babies:
I promise to get back on the wagon soon. For now, The dryer just went off and I hear a bunny rabbit squealing "mama mama mama".
I met the man of my dreams, fell in love and married him in a little chapel wearing a white dress.
I'm a diaper changing, play-doh playing, breast feeding, dinner cooking, house cleaning, and serial texting {all at the same time} kinda mom. I drive a mini van in the carpool line and there are more crumbs on my floor than in my cabinets. I try to get it all done, barefoot, with a baby on my hip.
I strive to stay positive and see the best in everyone. I fiercely believe that nothing is more important than family, and being loyal to the ones you love.
I am a passionate wife, mother, friend and follower of Christ. I am constantly changing, yet remaining the same silly little girl.
