I Am A Pixie!

The week couldn't have gone by faster! I got my hair appointment made Wednesday and was super excited to get really short hair. Nervous of course for if it didn't look as good as I had hoped for it to look, then it'd be a month before it grew long enough to look somewhat more feminine. But it was 3 days of playing the waiting game.

In the mean time kept myself busy by reorganizing and thinning out my home. Of course I'm thinning out my things only, but I was able to talk Steven into going through some of his things too. I was able to get rid of one of our bookshelves, take the top cubby compartment off my desk, and minimize the amount of clothes I had. Then I moved my desk to where the white bookshelf use to be and assembled my piano to be where my desk once was. No I just need Steven to figure out where to put the rest of his computer stuff so we can move the TV stand in front of the couch to be the coffee table (since we got rid of the TV) and put the table back under the chandelier in which it now will have some more room all around it.

Having less things in the house is nice, although currently it looks like all we have is clutter due to all the rearranging still happening. It's interesting how fast something can go from organized to messy when pulling out bits an pieces that you know you need to put away in a better spot.

Anywho, Wednesday Steven found out quite suddenly that he has OT again for another few weeks (or longer). Whoo hoo more money! Yet I wish we had more fore warning. Luckily this time he has a co-worker he's able to carpool with  so that will help save on gas and wear and tear on the car.

Friday I got to help Jessica frost a cake and we watched Mirror Mirror. For those who haven't seen it, it's very.... slapstick? Like I still haven't been able to find the word that I want to use for it. It's bright, colorful, slightly cheesy, a slight twist on the fairy tale, yet very typical. It came across like it was meant for children (I suppose that would explain the PG rating). Then they throw in what seemed very Bollywood to me, a dance number at the end.

I'm sure I sound like I didn't enjoy the movie, but I did. It just also left a bad after taste in my mouth. It was cute by all means and I probably would enjoy watching it again, but it was kind of a silly movie. But that's my thought about it. If you like amazing costumes and play like movies, then you should take the time to go see it.

Finally it was Saturday! So much stuff to do, but most importantly, the hair cut (which I;ll get to in a paragraph or two). But first Steven and I loaded up the car with the TV, some computers, 1 box and 2 bags worth of clothes (I know, a lot of clothes!). We dropped the TV and clothes a off at the D.I. Then we took a pit stop at Red Robins. If you haven't tried your burger wrapped in a bun, you should! It was really cool and made my meal practically carb free!

Then we zipped off the the PC Recycle and gave them some of our computers. After that I had Steven take the bus home so I could zip off to my hair appointment. About 2-3 times a year I make a trip down to see my friends dad, Ron Hill, in Steilacoom. It is a long drive, but he's always has done a fabulous job on my hair and worth the trip in the end. After sending him a few emails with my thoughts and pictures he sat me down and told me what he was gonna do. In short he liked my idea and he was thinking about taking it slightly shorter in back while making sure I had bangs to cover my forehead. Then he said we was gonna use my natural color to highlight the brown color I was getting. I just smiled and even though I was ultimately nervous about whether or not I was making a good choice, I continued to plunge forward after the short hair dream.

Here's me before:

And here's me after, in which I am super happy I did it! Tell me, what do you think?

The garden is doing well. The green beans should be blooming any day now and holy cow is there a ton of vines! Also the carrots are almost ready for harvest. Probably another week or two.

P.S. My blood results came back worlds better! Still diabetic, but on the scale they use to determine what your risk is for it, I went from 10.5 or greater to 8.5. The doctors goal for me is to get under 6.5. Of course all of this is WITHOUT medicine and eating/working out better. HF continues to bless me and I'm grateful He hears and answers prayers.
