Under construction. Will stop looking crappy soon.

Hair stuff

Lately, I’ve been really battling with the idea of cutting my hair short again. I’ve been thinking about it tons, mulling it over, and coming out scathed and undecided. This morning, I almost left for class on time when I realized I hadn’t done anything with my hair. It already looks weird because I’m still (still) in the process of trying to grow it out, so I have weird clumps and lengths all over, not to mention the stringy, bed-bumpy creature it was this morning. So, thanks to that, I was seven minutes late to class when I could have been two minutes late to class. It was then, sighing in exasperation in front of the mirror this morning as I stuffed bobby pins and clips wherever they would go, that I realized: I’m not actually too crazy about having long hair. Which is kind of weird, considering this was me in high school:

And I hate growing out my hair more than anything. Ever. Plus it takes forever to do, so . . . why do it? Why sacrifice years (literally) of my life looking like I have hacked-up mop on my head? Especially when I love having short hair. Plus again: I was only going to grow it out until we started having kids anyway, and I’m not sure I want to wait even that long anymore.

Yes, I realize I'm writing about my hair. I've never felt so superficial in my LIFE. But for some reason, I have this weird guilt sometimes about cutting my hair so short. 

Stupid, I know. 

So. Keep on trucking?

 

Or submit my head for some serious TLC?

What to do?

Field school! Whoop!!

YEEuh.

Actually, it'll be more like this: 

Only south of Utah Lake, and not in the UK. But Chad does have an Indie hat...

Hey friends.

So how's life? Things here are good. Pretty normal. Except that SPRING'S coming!!!!!!!! I am so ridiculously happy about that. I have never yearned for the green and warmth and sunshiney days and bike rides to the lake and birds and flowers and dewy mornings and WONDERFULNESS of blissful spring like I am now. I've always loved spring, but this winter has just seemed so dang long. Time for a change. I'm super excited for spring cleaning too! Call me crazy, but that's definitely one of the best things about spring. And I'm going to repaint the whole apartment and do some other things to it too. We'll see how that all turns out :)

Chad and I got to spend the whole day together yesterday! That's just about unheard of these days. Our schedules work out so that we work at the same time, I have class in the morning, Chad has class in the afternoon, and we get to see each other for a bit in between. By the time he comes home in the evening, it's usually about time to eat dinner and get ready for bed. But yesterday was wonderful :) We . . . amended our schedules for an 'us' day, and went to the temple in the evening. It was great.

Things that are making me happy:




Happy almost spring!
