This is the part where you tell me I'm pretty. (Seth hates it. Shhh. He didn't want me to tell you that.)The hairdresser, Mike, made fun of the state my hair was when I got to him.
Mike: Um...what's with the color?
Me: I got mad at a boy in July and dyed it black.
Flamboyant Assistant: Why do girls always take it out on their hair?
Mike: ::Shakes his head:: Who was the boy?
Me: Um...my then ex-boyfriend who is now my current boyfriend? It's a long story.
Mike: ::Rolls his eyes:: And when was the last time you got a hair cut?
Me: Um...well, my old roommate cut a couple of inches off with a pair of kitchen scissors? A couple of months ago? Does that count?
Mike: You are never allowed to touch your hair again.
Which is probably very good advice.
It is the THIRD change I've made this year that is the real shocker for anyone who knows me. For those of you that don't know me? I am lazy. Very lazy. My favorite things in the world are sleep and bacon. Everyone have a clear picture now? Are you sitting down? Comfortable? Excellent...
I joined a gym.
Now, please - nobody panic! I haven't lost my mind...I just...well...I'm turning twenty-five this year and the gym by my house is really REALLY cheap and...I've started to feel a little tubby. (A diet of sleep and bacon will do that to a girl) And I would be pleased if my arms were slightly less jiggly. And the gym - holy shit it is cheap. And a LADY gym, which means I don't have to deal with BOYS and feel self conscious. YAY!
Today was my second day at the gym and I am HURTY. Oh, I should probably mention this: this was my second day at a gym. Ever. Remember the lazy? Told you.
But as much pain as I'm in I'm also feeling good. Kind of, PUMPED. It feels bizarre. I've never really been invested in taking care of myself before.
I think I might actually stick with this...huh.

Yay for you!! Keep it up. Push through the pain. I hear ya'. I just got a Wii Fit. Haven't worked out in 8 years maybe and I'm about dying right now. But it's SOOO much fun!
Anyway, my point is, good job! And I like your new glasses.
you're hot.
you look like a pinup girl, you luscious monkey.
Lainey - I am jealous of your Wii Fit...I love me some Wii Fit. SO FUN.
Seth - Thank you <3
Duckie - "Luscious Monkey" would only ever be a compliment coming from you.
Fabulous! I love the hair and glasses - you're gorgeous. And I'm completely in love with my gym right now, it's my best friend. It's amazing, the trickle-down effect of good feelings from working out - better sleep, fewer cravings for junk food, better mood... etc. Enjoy!
sarah, you look amazing. your hair looks awesome.
also, fill me in on the glasses details. i'm in the market for a new pair (i haven't had new glasses in over seven years!)!
Erica! Thank you! The glasses are from Fabulous Fanny's on 9th Street. I am in looooooove with the place.
oh! i love that place! but, i've always been curious about how to go about getting prescription lenses for vintage eyewear :/
anyways, you look great! when i move back we will eat some ridiculous balsamic-soaked sandwiches!
