More Hairstyles

Okay, an update on haircuts.  I am thinking about getting it cut today.  Here are the photos I am going to take with me.  Based on length and texture of my hair, I want them to have a few to chose from.  The last thing I want is a cut that doesn't work for my hair!   I am going to post these in order of my like-ness to them (least to most!)

Okay so we already know this one, I love it... but I think I reallllly want the side swept bangs!

Kinda fun right?

That looks a little better

I love this one, but my hair isn't quite this long

This one is the winner!  I love  love LOVE it!

Thoughts?

It's time for a change!

I want a new hair cut.  Nothing drastic at all.  Something flattering for my plump little face, so I am thinking something like this...

My hair isn't quite this long, but almost, and oddly enough my face shape is so similar to this that I think it's a win.  I am seriously considering a side swept bang, but everytime I do a bang, I regret it cause it's always get's in my face and drives me batty.  Anyway, thoughts?  Comments?  HELP?

My Love of Fall

This is totally off the wall and that's okay by me, because that is who I am. I am curious to know more about my readers. What things do you think of at this time of year? I am always reminded of picnics and the return of fall. The wish of that certain dampness and almost musty smell that is Fall.
Whit and I were out taking our lil Miss for a walk and he mentioned the leaves changing. This is one of my favorite parts of fall. I love every season, or all different reasons. So share, what do you think of at this time of year?

Fab Friday Newz

I won a giveaway!!!!!!! That's right, me! I won a giveaway! Thanks to the lovely gals over at Little Birdie Secrets for having the Plaid giveaway, so that I could score hard core! This really got me thinking! I wanted to share my good news with everyone, and I think I want to launch my OWN dealy ma bop that you can join in and share in called "Fab Friday Newz" If you think that this is something you would like to share in, give me some feedback! Come on, throw it at me! I am going to create my very own Mr. Linky and Button, and I will have it launched by next week.

I hope you will all join in. Share whatever is on your mind! Perhaps you didn't have to wait in line at the grocery store and it totally rocked your world! Or maybe you found out that you paid 5 bucks extra on your car insurance! I have no idea what makes your lips curl, but as for me... this very day, my handsome boyfriend and I are finally going to go see the new Harry Potter. This is something I have been waiting to do, and am ever sooo excited about. It makes me HAPPY. I truly think that appreciating the simple joys in life can make all the difference. If we take the time to recognize them, we might be surprised how much we look forward to getting out of bed, rather than dreading it! Okay, I will get off my soap box. I just wanted to set up the basis for my "Fab Friday Newz!" So lets hear some feed back!

Writer's Workshop: Can I get some manners with that?

As part of todays assignment I have chosen topic 5.) Share your friendly advice for someone you think needs it (ie your mother-in-law, other drivers, cell phone users, etc.)
I used to work at Starbucks! P.S. I loved that job, sooooo fun! Ok back to my post, I usually worked in the drive thru. I preferred it! You get to interact with the most people and chat it up for all of two seconds and see the same faces day after day... oh how I miss it! What I don't miss, is the lack of manners and sheer common sense that some people have whilst coming through the drive thru! Please I beg of you all, get off your cell phones. It takes a mere 15 seconds or less to order a drink. Can you not even pretend you are off your phone? Is your phone call really that important? Is it life threatening? So much so, that this silly cup O joe couldn't wait? If you want me to treat you with manners, and smile and be cheery and interact with you at the window, please make it easy for me to do so. It's my job... it's what I LOVE to do! As a barista at Starbucks I probably knew somewhere between 35 to 50 customers either by name or drink. It makes my day to find out where you are going, what you are up to, what the kids are doing, and all that jazz. It's so sad to have such a cold interaction at the window. So my advice is, if you are waiting in line... chat it up on the phone, but end the call before the order. You'll be amazed to see how warm you can be received if you end the call. You can always get back on as soon as you get your drink. Or you can slip the phone into your lap for a moment. I've done this before. Whomever you are talking to will more than likely understand! And don't get me started on bluetooth headsets. This starts a whole new area of confusion! "Oh, I'm sorry are you talking to me? No, you are just talking to the air! Ok thanks, now it just looks like I'm talking to myself cause you aren't even listening to me. Yeah, cause you are on the phone... ok nice talkin to ya!" It's all confusing. Just please... have some manners! What do you think about phones in the drive thru?

Healthy Frozen Treats

Today has been a fun day already. We took Missy on a walk and headed down to the lake which is by our townhouse. We had planned on doing that yesterday, but I guess time just slipped away from us. There are two lakes, side by side, and plenty of open field space for Missy to run free. It looks like we won't have to travel far to take her to the park. I didn't realize that there was a "park" within walking distance of the house. We took her down by the lake and she dipped her lil paws in the icky swampy water, yuck! There were minnows to keep her attention and she had a blast.
After we got home, we tidied up a bit, had some lunch and I had a delish, summer time fave treat: a fudgesicle. I must admit, I love all things "frozen treat." My father used to eat a bowl of ice cream every night before he went to bed. I just was raised on frozen goodness, lol! I try not to eat it too often anymore cause it's horrible for you, and I've changed my life pattern. In any case, I do still treat myself and I was shocked when I went to the grocery store the other day and saw all the stuff in the frozen treat section! (be sure to actually scroll through the slides in the orange "slideshow" bar.) I would love to know what kind of goodies you are addicted to, or what kind of healthy treats you eat?

My New Blog Design!

Okay, so I have been out on a secret prowl for a while now to swoop up a new blog design. I've checked a few out here and there, but none really tickled my fancy! I mean I liked several, but I wasn't over the moon about any of them. When I was over at Mama Kats today to find out that I had lost the Bloggy makeover giveaway, (SAD DAY) I noticed that she had posted a link that I just had to check out. I rushed over and picked out this fab new free layout! Thanks Mama Kat, and thanks to the girls at the The Cutest Blog on the Block!
They've got all sorts of fun stuff and designs and matching banners, and the best part is... it's all free! They've got all kinds of jive, so if your blog needs primping, check them out. The "blinkies" section is fab! I would love to know what you think of the new layout! Your comments, thoughts... do you like it? Did you like the old one better? Do you have any suggestions?

Off to a late start!

Okay, so I know that I am farrrrrr behind all the rest of you in the blogosphere today when it comes to posting, but I just didn't wanna! Does that sound bratty enough? No seriously, I had about 6 bajillion things to do and all in 45 different directions! I thought my head was just gonna spin right on off! P.S. whats with that expression? Right on off? I use it all the time, but jut checking! Anyway, in order to keep me going on a day like this there are things that I need. Most of them are in order on a daily basis, but just a necessity in such a disastrous occasion as this!
1. Hugs, Cuddles, and Kisses from my Strong Man
2. Adequate Sleep thanks to ear plugs!!!! One of my fave things! Try this... AMAZING
3. Breakfast
4. Quiet/Meditation time
5. My secret "get you going juice!" Emergen-C flavored fizzy drink mix. It's a super yum energy Booster that's loaded with Vitamins, Nutrients, and Antioxidants! They have a variety of delish flavors, but I favor the raspberry, as that is my favorite flavor in the world!
There are citrus flavors, to berries, to even Acai. I hope you will check this out. Every time I get a sore throat I down a little extra of this, and it seems I'm home free!
I'm curious... what things must you do on a daily basis? Or what secrets can you share with me to help me have an even better day?
