Hair

Grattis på födelsedagen!

No, your computer didn’t malfunction. That’s ‘Happy Birthday!’ in Swedish. Why Swedish? Well, I just finished reading Stieg Larsson’s The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo. Is it sad that it took me almost a full chapter to realize it was set in Sweden and not some weird America? And the happy birthday? Well yesterday was sweet Jason’s 27th birthday! A post is coming up about his day later this week. So while I’m trying to get my head back on straight after our incredible beach vacay, how about the coolest thrifted blouse ever?

blouse: thrifted, jeans: Target via Goodwill (brand new-$5!!), boots: thrifted

Oh yeah, and I got all my hair chopped off! I think I lost 5 pounds when I did. It looked like someone ate my hair then threw it up all over the floor. That’s how much hair there was. I can turn my head without it getting yanked or stuck under my armpit! I can brush through it in less than 10 minutes! I can curl it! I have HEALTHY BANGS THAT I DIDN’T CUT MYSELF! Thank you, sweet sweet hair savior, Kelso/Michael.

Yes, we had an amazing time on our vacay thank you for asking! Believe me, there will be some picture heavy posts coming up once I melt back into reality this week. We hit the motherload on thrifting down there in ye olde gator state. They have 1/2 off Mondays! GET IT TOGETHER, TEXAS.

In other thrifting news, did you guys know that Tyler is getting a Plato’s Closet!? I almost had a panic attack when I saw that. EEEEEP!

PS. How humongo does my ring look up there? The waitress at dinner last night said, “Is that your wedding ring!? Awwwright!” 🙂

PPS. If you try to comment but get some kind of error let me know asap! My mom and I were having trouble commenting but as far as I can tell it’s back to normal now. I’m trying to get this weird error fixed so if you can’t comment you can email me or (surprise!) like me on Facebook and comment there. 🙂

I “made up” a new hairstyle. I’ll try to get pics tomorrow.
Getting loads of compliments on my “made up” hairstyle. I really have a lot of hair.
Our Masterworks concert was Saturday night. John Rutter’s Gloria never ceases to make me cry.
Mexican food with my family and the in-laws after the concert. Lots of conversation and hot sauce with butter. Yum.
Someone is finally coming to look at one of my prom dresses for sale next week! Yay!
I’M GOING TO FLORIDA IN A WEEK.
Hearing all of my sister’s stories about her week in NYC. I want to go back!
That sister buying me a present that I will receive tomorrow. Hooray!
Did I mention I’m going to Florida in a week?

Finally starting to make a hair appointment! Me making a hair appointment usually goes about like this:
Hair grows out way too long.
Mel gets anxious and waits forever to call and make appointment.
Mel finally calls to make appointment. Hair stylist isn’t in.
Hair stylist calls Mel back at a number that doesn’t exist because Mel doesn’t know her own home phone number.
Hair stylist is friends with Mel on Facebook. Hair stylist messages Mel and gives a callback number.
Mel calls callback number. Leaves message without another callback number.
Mel leaves Facebook message with actual home number this time.
Mel eventually gets her haircut.

And they all lived happily ever after with freshly cut hair.

cardi: pacsun, tee: pacsun, pants: old navy, boots: f21, lipstick: revlon pink about it

This was one of those outfits that looked so adorable in my head but then failed when I put it on but it was too late to change this morning. I felt great it in all day, but somehow seeing it in pictures I realize that neon yellow does absolutely nothing for me. And I need a haircut. Next couple of weeks don’t be surprised if my hair is at my shoulders.

PS. I finished Week 1 Day 2 of Couch to 5k last night! It was harder than day one. Mostly because I was feeling crappy about my hair, this outfit and blah blah blah. You know how it is. But I pushed through with hugs from Jason and finished it and it ended up not being as bad as I thought. 🙂 After Friday (it’s only 3 days a week) I’ll have 8 weeks left! Mark my words: I will be running on the beach at sunset on spring break.

And if I don’t, don’t hold it against me. I’m only human.

But I will.

But like I said… human.

🙂

Oh, and remember this wish list? I finally bought those leopard jeans. They’ll be here Saturday. BOOM. BOOM. POW.
