it grew out

so naturally, I cut it. I was ready for something exciting and fresh, in hopes that spring/summer will come earlier than last year.

Here's the new do:




Here's a few more pics, since I know all you bloggers out there just LOVE pictures.
Pepper's favorite spot:







Lastly, this picture. It was taken Monday of this week. Travis took this picture of me, caught off guard, of course.


This picture pretty much sums up what I have been feeling/going through for the past few months. I look dazed, and totally confused. Notice, I'm not wearing ANY makeup. Not mascara, not powder, not even chapstick. (You can tell I need chapstick, too, because look at my lips! I pick at them when I'm stressed.) In fact, today was the first day I have worn makeup in MONTHS. I also have several marks on my face from left over blemishes. The eyebrows unplucked (because honestly who has time to sit there and pluck for like 3o mins??), and the unkept hair. Although isn't that the style now-a-days? Messy? If it is, then I've got it down to an art. Wake up, use my fingers (and spit) to comb through my hair.... gross, I know... brush my teeth and go. I literally wake up 10 minutes before I'm supposed to be anywhere. Notice I'm not smiling. That's what happens when I'm caught off guard. It happens a lot these days. Curve balls thrown at me left and right. All I can do is duck and run for cover. I don't feel like swinging the bat and actually fighting. It's not worth it. Much easier to just give up and lay down right there on home plate. At least I'm safe. At least I'm home.

Anyway I hope you enjoyed the pictures! I graduate in 2 weeks. Everyone is telling me to sprint to the finish line. mmmm, we'll see. :)
