Surprise

I got a job.

I know.

You're all shocked--but you should be super excited for me. :D I'm nervous, but I think I'll enjoy it.

I'm a substitute teacher, officially.

The kids will all call me Miss.

bahahaha. Some of them will accidentally call me mom. That I know, because I've done it, even in high school.

Wish me luck!

The Reveal: Before and After

As you all know, I bought the Dressing Your Truth Course and took the 30 day challenge. I'm not sure how often I mentioned it, but I talked about getting my hair cut and how awesome it would be. For my birthday, my loving family tried to give me money to go towards my haircut. Unfortunately, That money went toward my food :D (I have to eat somehow). For Christmas, I received enough money to get my haircut at the DYT salon. Yay! So, Big Sis and I made our appointments.

On the big day, Jeigh Bee, Big Sis, and the Nieces all went to the salon. It was fun. with the foil in my hair and the cape thing on, I chased the nieces around pretending to be a monster. They squealed and ran around the store. It was cute. :D anyway, so I'm sure you're curious as to what I did with my hair. Well, I got it cut and Emily gave me some fun layers, and I also got some highlights and some lowlights. Overall the effect is darker, but I think it has lightened a bit since then. We did my hair all fun and big. It doesn't look like this every day, I promise.

Before: Emily had me take out my flower and put on this coat thing to provide a little more contrast for the reveal. If you would kindly notice my eyes, you might realize that while the make up is touched up in the after picture, it really is basically the same as in the before.

And now, the moment you've all been waiting for. Drum Roll, Please..........

After: Everything I am wearing in this picture belongs to me and was worn to the salon (minus the necklace, which I purchased that day).

Here is Big Sis and I; aren't we beautiful? This picture is my favorite. We have chicken legs. and I just realized what I remind myself of in this picture. Bestie will appreciate this: I look like the duck on Chicken Little that plays Abby in the film adaptation of their story. It's the bangs.

Style and Glasses

I like my new glasses. They are purple and pretty much the perfect color. The outside is dark purple and the inside is a light horn pattern, also purple. I also like the shape. I think they're cool. I was complimented on them yesterday by a boy. That means I'm keeping them.

It's freezing. well, below freezing, actually.

Happy Nevada Day! Oh, and Happy Halloween!!!

As only a few of you may know--actually, probably most of you, seeing as most of you are family--today is Nevada Day. It's a joyous event where we dress up in Costumes and eat candy--oh, and there's no school. Of course this is only applicable in Nevada. However, I'm fairly certain that all the other states wanted to be a little Nevada-y, so they all dress up and eat candy too. They just don't get school off.

Anyway, In keeping with the tradition of dressing up, Bestie and I wanted to dress up as some of our favorite characters. We went to our stake party as Fran and Freba from the SNL skit Fran and Freba. I was Fran, and Bestie was Freba. In the skit Fran is played by a man, so She is much taller than Freba. Well, Bestie is about 4 inches taller than I am, so even in my 3 inch heels and her in her flats, she was still taller. Oh well. It was way fun. We decided I would be Fran because I can act like a man acting like a girl much better than she can...??

We both have rather longish hair so I got creative and made it look somewhat like the real deal. I did both of our hairs with pin curls. The amazing thing is how well they stayed in. I started my hair at 4:00 pm. The last picture in this post is us at Midnight. I believe that is 8 hours. The only thing different is that my bangs were falling out. That is pretty dang impressive, if I do say so myself.

To watch the original skit, go to this link, http://www.hulu.com/watch/52191/saturday-night-live-fran-and-freba.

Here is the original Fran and Freba for reference. Fran is in the coral half sweater on the right and Freba is on the left. This picture is of them putting of lotion. We have a video of us doing the same thing. :D

The Challenge, Day 30

I wanted to do something extra special today but then I realized that it probably wouldn't look that extra, so I just did what I do everyday. :D I took all these pictures and there weren't that many blurry ones or messed up ones, so I couldn't decide which ones to leave out. so you get them all.

I was going to post this earlier today, but I was babysitting and my niece doesn't like it when she's not the center of my attention. :D Now that I've taken her to the real babysitters, I can blog in peace. Or rather, now that I have nothing to do, I will fill my boredom with blogging.

Check it out, Bestie is makin' her debut on my blog. I didn't intentionally get her blow drying her hair in my pictures, but she is there.

The Challenge, Day 29

Can you believe it is already Day 29? It just occurred to me that tomorrow is the last day of the challenge. :(

I'll probably still take pictures of myself everyday because I just like it. but I don't want to stop blogging. I'll have to find something else to blog about to keep my habit regular. we'll see. Maybe I'll be adventurous and find something new to take a picture of periodically to practice my photography skills. Wouldn't that be fun?

I was looking through my pictures, getting rid of bad ones and rotating sideways ones and such, when I came across this one. I thought it was super funny because I don't remember taking it. I am usually pretty careful about keeping the camera off to the side so it doesn't cover any of me and my outfit, so I found it funny that I would take a picture with it right in my face. Check out the focus on my hand and how it's more blurry behind my hands. cool, huh?
