Since I have lost my job it has been impossible for me to get to the salon and get my hair done. My hair is so thick and gets so long that it gives me headaches when I put it up, it totally sucks!
Well last night my amazing boyfriend said he would pay for me to get my hair done and I could pay him back with my next few unemployment checks! I was so, so, so excited, I got into the salon today and feel like a new woman! It's amazing what a new hairdo does for your confidence :D

Bye Bye Blondie
So a few weeks ago I decided it was time for a change, and that my hair is where it would happen. I worked up the courage to call my aunt and say "I think I want to go darker"... her response "You think? You need to know..." So I said "OK, I know!" 1 week later we were at the store buying my new hair color.
As I sat in the chair while she painted my hair with dark red/brown and threw some honey highlights in there, I couldn't help but be nervous! I kept thinking, "what if it doesn't look good? What if I hate it? What if....." It was really too late now.
For those of you that don't know, I have had blonde-platinum blonde hair for as long as I can remember, its always been long staying around the middle of my back, at this point it was passed the middle of my back. So going from platinum blonde to anything darker is a pretty drastic change.
After about an hour and half it was time to rinse, I watched the red/purple water pour down the drain getting more nervous each time I opened my eyes, but there was no turning back now.
She wrapped my hair up in a towel and sent me to the chair, were she cut and cut and cut (what felt like FOREVER), I got up to see what could have been a large hamster on the ground, man that was a lot of hair! So finally I get to see it...... drum roll please.......
I walk into the bathroom, turn on the light and look in the mirror. I am shocked! I think I like it.... but I am still not sure, its now a little passed my shoulder, a deep red/brown and my bangs are definately shorter.
My aunt calls from the other room... "Well, how do you like it?" I hesitate and answer "I think I like it...." she laughs and says "It is a huge change, you'll get used to it".
Now its time to head home, I jump in my car and head to SLO, hoping my boyfriend likes it too. The ride seemed like hours, when really it was about 20 min, I pulled up to see my boyfriends smiling face, I can tell he likes it right away.
So a few weeks have gone by, its lightened up a little and I am in love with it, not sure if I will ever go back blonde.... if you would have asked me 2 months ago if I would die my hair something other than blonde, I probably would have laughed at you!

YAY for Getting in Shape
So I have finally decided to start working on my wieght, I have met with my doctor and we are on a great weight loss plan. So far I have lost about 16lbs and I am very excited! I don't have a scale at home since it gets depressing and I would probably get obsessive with it, so I only know my progress when i visit the doctor (every 6 weeks).
My first trip to the doctor was last week and I thought I had maybe lost 5lbs, I stepped on the scale and BAM, 16lbs gone, that is probably the most motivating thing that could have happened.
I will keep you updated and potentially start posting before/after pics (maybe) lol, I have a long way to go but man was that first step a leep!
