HairDrama and Christmas RoundUp

So- these last few weeks I had been contemplating cutting my hair. Not that I really wanted to...but it just felt like it was time... It was getting very long..and would get ratty very easily.. which I know brushing solves that problem..but who hey...I don't like doing that lol... anyways..It was last Thursday that I decided I at least needed to get a hold of my cuz Megan for at least a trim..then..push come to shove I just decided...you know what Hair grows back. There was a reason why I started growing it out and now I'm just too comfortable feel too safe..I use to at a whim would whack my hair completely off..I remember one time...I had Megan cut my hair and I said take it all off..I don't want no length lol... so how did I get so hung up on my long hair...I'll have to say it was so easy...I'd wash it and let it be..Or if I wanted to be fancy I'd wash it and blow dry it lol...or if I was moving on up that day I'd straighten it too.. lol... oh well... and another point...I don't think nothing is sexier on a woman is a head of Long Dark Hair..you light heads...ya its cute I some days wish I had it..but dark hair is sexy! :)

so I find this picture of what I would like my hair to somewhat look like and send it to Jake...and ask what he thought about it... he said No... lol.. my reply..."Its happening..the date is set!"... lol... told him not to tell anyone..b.c. I didn't want to be talked out of it..and when I say talked out of it..I mean somebody would be like oh I just love your hair and that would talk me out of it...long hair is sentimental lol.. so... as the days passed...I really tried hard not to tell anyone..lol.. I couldn't take it... I knew my sis in law had said before when I was contemplating cutting my hair that if/when I did..she wanted to come along.. lol...and then I broke down.. needed more advice and called Lace my girl that says..that will good or oh no Joie..don't even fall in love with it..it won't look good...I get her approval and then I'm so so excited.I even straightened it for the last time last weekend b.c. I knew I wouldn't do it during the week.. I didn't want to say anything to anyone b.c. I was a bit nervous to cut it...and didn't want to make a big to do and then chicken out lol.I even lied to my mom when she asked me what I was doing lastnight..told her I had lots of baking to do lol......

in all its straight glory lol 

really loving it!

and let me tell you ..last night as I sat down to get it cut..I was nervous and thinking in my head..is it too late to turn back now lol...

One big thing though..I love it :)... I played with it all night..and had such a weird feeling of how light it feels. I loved how Meg straightened my
 hair and have decided I need a new straightener but I knew I had to wash it... I didn't want to b.c. I'm always afraid I'll never be able to make it look like how she did it..but anyways I took my chances... and I'm washing my hair...barely had to put any shampoo in it or 

I even like it with glasses..even better

conditioner.. amen..save money there..and it                                

was super fast to wash..no soaking my hair in conditioner and brushing it and leaving it in for a while... I dried it..only used one towel last night :)... and played with it.as mentioned before my flat iron isn't up to par..so I'm going to go shopping for a better one..but I was amazed this morning after taking a few minutes to run a flat iron through my hair that I still loved my hair cut :) ...I'm usually in such remorse the morning after..lol..that doesn't sound good...anyways..but today I still loved it.. that's a big step! lol.. also worth mentioning I am able to donate 13 inches to locks of love :) 

I'm a dork I know

So Christmas time is here..I haven't got one present wrapped lol..how sad is that...I'm afraid to b.c. I know Stuart would open them..so I have waited. But tonight I have to get all the homemade stuff done because tomorrow we are going to Jake's parents to have Christmas. Which makes me super nervous because they will be my first experiments on the whole home made gifts go. I've spent close to what I normally spend- put I think its more thoughtful. Instead of meaningless stuff they really don't want- at least I know the things I made can be something they can enjoy :). I go both ways....I love homemade stuff and then I like it when people just surprise me and I end up really using what they got me. :) and for my Niece and Nephews I bought them toys or clothes..b.c. lets face it...its what they want lol.. So after Jake's parents we will head on over to my Grandpa's for Christmas Eve as usual...

Stu @ Allen County Tourney 12/17

 It will be nice seeing the family.... Then On Sunday.. we will get up..do presents and gifts... then.. head to Sunday school... go home for a bit I imagine..go to Reffitt's @ my Aunt Lavanda's and Uncle David's around 1pm... then finish at my parents house for their Christmas..and when I say Finish I mean for the day...b.c. then Monday we head to Greenville for the afternoon for Christmas with the Clum's :).. how fun :) ...I can't wait to see everyone... We have one busy weekend ahead of us..Please pray for me that I get all the wrapping and baking done...and also...that I survive :) 

This is Winnie our cat... sad to say but her days are
numbered here lately..hopefully she survives... lol
