New do...

So, this weekend my sister & I played let's do Kalynn's hair... here is the end result.
I like it a lot... it is red now. I've gotten several compliments on it, although when I do my hair, it is not straight, it's curly & it seems like the highlights have darkened into a coppery red tone, but it is starting to calm down now, so that is good.

She also decided to do my makeup & gave me some good pointers, although I don't really have much time to do my makeup in the morning, it was nice to have some helpful hints. Anyone that knows me, knows I don't wear a lot of makeup.

This weekend was relaxing. I finished the 7th (& final in my collection) book of the True Blood series. I have the 8th book on hold at the library, so I'm patiently waiting for the library patron who has borrowed it to return it so I can read it next. One would ask - why not just go buy the book? Well, I would reply that I plan on buying the book, but it's not out in paperback until March 31st & that is just too long for me to wait to see what happens in the life of Sookie Stackhouse. Here is my theory... if you already have 7 books in the series & they are all paperback, you DO NOT buy hardback in the series... ever. Ok, done with my theory. :)

Let's see... what else is going on? Oh ya - started classes again last night. I think I'm really going to enjoy my classes this semester. Not that I didn't enjoy my classes last semester, because I did. It's just this semester is going to be more hands on learning how to counsel. So, I'm really looking forward to it.

Not much else is going on. Ready for the weekend. Tired of snow. It shouldn't snow past December... actually past Christmas. There should be snow on the ground for all the kiddos on Christmas morning & then it should vanish! This waiting until the middle of January to start snowing is ridiculous. I DO NOT like it! Besides the fact that Indianapolis has not done a great job at keeping the roads cleared in the past couple of years & it took me a good hour to get to work today (when it normally takes me a half hour at most).

Hope you all had a good weekend & a good week so far. Until next time...

I'm still here...

So, just wanted to write a quick post to let all that I am still here. Sorry I haven't posted in a month... life gets in the way & I am DEFINITELY taking advantage of my Christmas break. Classes start next Tuesday... ahhh!

We had a great Christmas. Our families came to us this year, so it was nice to have everyone (except my brother & sister-in-law I should say) here that was near. Luke got lots of presents & really enjoyed Christmas this year. He was super excited that Santa brought him his TMNT van & the Wall-E game for his Leapster. It was funny to see him shaking as he ripped off the paper of the van & exclaimed, "This is awesome... you've got to see this." Definitely takes the cake of expressions. I had a great Christmas, Erik, Luke & the dogs got me a new flat screen t.v. for our bedroom (this is my t.v., even though Erik watches it occasionally) & my parents got me a camcorder which is small enough I can carry in my purse. I also got some clothes & various other things. Definitely a good Christmas!! Erik & I fixed dinner for everyone & I must say it was delicious!!

We hosted New Years' Eve this year. It was nice to have friends over & not have to go anywhere. We missed some friends, but introduced some new friends. It was a relatively quiet evening & pretty much everyone headed home by 1:30... gone are the days of staying up way past midnight! Although, I didn't actually get to bed until 3am. The next morning/afternoon I met up with some girlfriends for a brunch. Mel couldn't make it for NYE, so we had to meet up to discuss our Christmas/NYE/Twilight books. Oh yes, I got everyone to read them & they loved them as much as I did!! So much in fact we have a standing date for the New Moon release on November 20, 2009. :)

My parents kept Luke for us over NYE & they had a great time playing Wii of course Luke was the champion on bowling & he let us know too. I'm not sure how many games of MarioKart they played, but every time I called they seemed to be playing. Luke stayed with them until Sunday, so they definitely got a lot of gaming done in that time. :) Along with taking him to see the movie with the mouse with big ears!!

Erik also got me another series of books... they are the books that the HBO series, TrueBlood is based off. There are 7 books in the series (that I have) & I am currently on book 6. I got them the Saturday after Christmas if that tells you anything. This is the reason why I haven't been blogging... sorry.

Not much else is going on. I will try to do better at keeping my blog up-to-date, but no promises. Until next time...
