The Challenge, Day 18

So, I'm tired.

The Hands-on event was awesome last night! We learned about incorporating our secondary type into our everyday dress. I'm excited to add some sparkles. ooooOOOOOoooooo.

I bought new type 2 clothes: a pair of pants, a pair of capris, and this awesome coat.

So, today, I wore my new pink pants I bought. :P

I wore a sash, that I braided. It looks way cool.

I incorporated one of my new flowers I made.

I used one of the tips from last night when I did my makeup: I used purple eye shadow on my eyebrows instead using brown. I bet you couldn't even tell.

I made homemade hamburgers today. so yummy!

I have a confession; I'm a little vain. As much as I complain about how awkward it is to take pictures of myself everyday, I think the reason I feel it is awkward is because I'm afraid you might catch on to that fact. Oh well, secret's out now.

I took 21 pictures today. This is the result of taking so many.

This is my new gray coat.

I cut Tootles hair today. The fourth time I've ever cut hair. He asked me to take before and after pictures so he could make it in my blog. so here's for you tootles!

We didn't have an apron, so he got stuffed into a garbage bag.

After:

Be free! Brake out of your cocoon, little butterfly!

Oh, The Creativity of Me!

Today I decided to make some more flowers. I got a little carried away. oh well. :D

The top two are the ones I made when Big Sis taught me how to do it. The five on the bottom are the ones I made today. Aren't they just so perdy?

The Challenge, Day 17

I'm going to be productive today.

I was up and ready for the day by 9:30.

Go me.

Today is the DYT hands on event. I am excited to go with Big Sis and Jeighbee! I'm also irrationally nervous. I feel like I have to look my cutest to go to these events. Don't worry, I know I shouldn't worry about it because when I dress my truth I always look cute. but still, I just harbor these feelings that they know more about how I should look than I do. But that's why I am doing this challenge; to make myself my personal expert. I don't need nobody else to tell me how I act or feel or how I should dress. I know for myself.

Anyway, off my soap box.

Here's how I look today:

The Challenge, Day 16

Wednesday, Day 16, Oct 12:

I did it.

I curled up on my bed and read a book all day.

Mostly.

It started like this, I woke up at 4 in the morning thinking I was gonna be late. I went back to bed. I got up at 6:20 and really was going to be late. I put on some jeans and a coat and went to Big Sis's house looking like I rolled out of bed, which I did. She left and I read my book while nefling #2 slept. When she woke up I took her to Jeighbee's house. I was planning on going straight to bed when I got home, but my book was captivating, and I love reading. So I crawled in my bed and read. My roomie, we'll call her Red, left for class. when she got home at 2:30 she

found me still in my bed reading. It was glorious. I love reading. Then I got up and watched some episodes of Psych with Red. I finally took a shower and got ready for the day at 4:00.

I went to a pregnancy appointment with Big Sis to watch nefling #2.

I went to the temple.

I watched the new season Premiere of Psych.

All around great day.

The Challenge, Day 15

I really want to cut my hair.

I got this shirt in Philadelphia this past summer. I like it. It's a pretty color and I like the movement that the stitching and buttons create. I got it a little too big for me though. oops.

I have my new green flower in my hair, but you can't see it in any of these pictures. Fail.

I cleaned my mirror. It was disgusting. some of the other pictures are so nasty because of the mirror, but these ones are pretty clean.

The Challenge, Day 14

Monday, Oct 10th

Today I am still pretty swollen in my face, but I try to ignore it.

I think my hair is getting too long, but I don't have any money to cut it.

I'm getting kind of tired of taking pictures of my face, but I still have 16 more days to go.

It's a good thing I'm doing this challenge or I would be sorely tempted to not dress up in the mornings sometimes.

I know it's for my personal benefit to keep dressing my truth everyday. I can tell the difference it makes on my attitude the rest of the day, but sometimes I am just so exhausted.

Sometimes I just want to curl up in a ball and hide in my room with a good book.

Oh well.

Even More Days in One.

Here are even more Days from the Challenge. I've come back with renewed vigor. :D

Day 8: Tuesday, Oct 4th

I was still pretty tired and stuff from the weekend; you can see it in my face.

Day 9: Wednesday, Oct 5th

I made a little better attempt to feel better this day, but inside I'm still exhausted.

Day 10: Thursday, Oct 6th

For all the previous days I only had one flower: my soft pink one. Theresa bought some fabric and taught me how to make them, so now I have a blue one and a green one. Yay! I hope to make more in the next little bit. Yippee!

Also on this day, I got a phone call just shortly after I took this picture. It was a company calling me for a job interview! So I went back in my room and changed into something less casual. I wore my new fancy pink shirt. I was wearing all brown and pink, but my blue flower. :) I didn't get a picture, sorry.

Day 11: Friday, Oct 7th

Since I didn't get to wear my casual blue shirt on Day 10, I wore it on this day. :D Observe my exuberant smile. I was so excited about my interview.

Day 12: Saturday, Oct 8th

This was a very tired day. I was up late the night before doing cleaning checks. Then I got up early to go to the stake service project. And there was a football game, so I went pretty casual. And my face esploded, so my jaw is all swollen from the breakouts.

Day 13: Sunday, Oct 9th

This was another tired day. I was cranky. I had a bad headache. I went to bed late because of the football game, and then I was woken up early by an annoying car horn that was stuck. It woke me up at 7, and it went on till like 9. And it was fast Sunday, so I was thirsty and hungry and tired. Put those all together, and what do you get? A cranky headache-y me.
