Yesterday I went for a haircut and ended up donating 10 inches to Locks of Love. It was quite an emotional experience. I wasn't sad about getting rid of my hair but it made me happy that my hair might touch some child someday.
Overall, I love my hair. Its short, its spunky, its fun, its ME! I was beginning to feel like I was being defined by my hair. I felt like I was hiding behind it. Honestly, I was hiding behind it, its about time I start feeling good about who I am without hiding behind a mane of hair!

guest bedroom
I am all of a sudden feeling a void in my house. I have a livingroom, kitchen, dining room, laundry room, 2 bathrooms, bedroom, walk in closet, and 2 guest bedrooms. I am finding that 2 guest bedrooms are unnecesary! I rarely ever have guests anymore. I have decided that I am going to turn the smaller guest bedroom into a art/music room. Alex's drums are already in there so on the other side I am going to set up a desk, shelving unit, and make myself a cozy painting area. That way when I am in the middle of painting something I can just leave it there and come back whenever I have time, instead of stressing to get it done so it isn't cluttering up my kitchen table! Tomorrow evening I am getting rid of the full size bed and putting that up to the farm house. I think the room will feel alot bigger because the room is too small for a full size bed anyhow.
Well I just thought I would share my latest task. That room is also on my list of things to paint before the wedding. I want to pick a color that Alex likes since he spends alot of time in there and something that I like, and something the baby will like when its born. HEHE just kidding!

fall
Good Afternoon People! Today it is roughly 70 degrees out and feels slightly chilly and I LOVE IT!!! I am getting so excited about fall. Fall is when Alex gets less hours at Seacrets, and I get to go back to school and actually do something day to day, and on September 24th the official year countdown begins!

why
Lately i've been noticing a lot of things make me stop and think...WHY?!
Why do people go out to eat and let there phone ring? The other night I went out to eat and this family had atleast 5 phone calls and would answer them and talk loudly at the table. Its so rude!
Why are people always complaining about where they live, yet NEVER move!!! I feel like all my life i've heard people complain about the Eastern Shore yet here they still remain. Be happy with where you live or move so you don't have to make the rest of us miserable. yea im facebooking that haha.
Why on earth are there so many damn political signs up?! Its so annoying. I hate politics and have decided these signs have made politics so unappealing im not even voting this year. I don't give a flying crap who the hell is in office. NObody ever makes a difference anyhow.
So thats what I'm feeling. take it or leave it those are the things that make me go WHY?!!

Alex's Birthday
first of all, what do you think of the MASSIVE picture of myself? haha Its a nice touch I think.
Tomorrow is Alex's 25th birthday! Damn that sounds old. Glad I am a year and a half behind him. Well this birthday I have really struggled and had to be creative to try and make this day special for him. And I really did want it to be special since his family isn't here. I literally have no money because the grass is DEAD. It would figure the year that mom is paying me double what I made last year the grass has died and I haven't been able to cut it but maybe 5 times haha. So I got Alex a t-shirt that has sublime on it and something else. A shirt that he would actually wear in his favorite color, black. And I also painted him a red green yellow and black abstract acrylic on canvas. It is really cool, has a reggae look about it and I think it will be nice behind his drum set. Mom got him his favorite flavor of smith island cake and also crab legs to chow down on. Tonight after he left I began decorating the house with streamers and balloons but then it occured to me to decorate my bedroom! I figured in a smaller space it would have a bigger effect. Its going to be funny when he wakes up in the morning in a sea of streamers. I used 3 rolls on my small room. Its pretty awesome.
Also this week Alex and I bought a canoe! Ok he payed for the majority but I pitched in and paid for the front handle :P We have already been out on in twice and he just got it yesterday! Yesterday we went out on the Pocomoke river and today we went out in Stockton off of George Island Landing. We explored some marsh and then got down in the water and dug around for clams. We took home 17 clams and I steamed them when we got home.

how in the HELL
do parents do it?! I have been babysitting since about 4pm yesterday and I am going BANANAS! I can't take anymore. All I have done is cook and clean and wash dishes and pick up toys and help Zach use his potty, and wash his hands, constantly! I hardly have time to eat myself. As soon as I am done cleaning up from one meal they are asking for a snack. How in the heck these kids aren't 500 pounds I dont know!
A few weeks ago my mom and I were talking and she said, "I really hope you and Alex wait along time to have kids because once you have them LIFE IS OVER" She wasn't freaking kidding. Mom always has the best advice.
