Test: Growing out my hair

For anyone that knows me knows that I have to be one of the laziest girls there is. When it comes to being a girl that is. I am pretty sure my last hair cut or trim was back in 2011. I have been thinking lately about getting hair extensions. There are a couple reasons I don't. 1. They have to be maintained. 2. Not being able to wear my hair in its natural curly state. 3. They have to be maintained. Did I mention how lazy I am? Last summer I think I mentioned to Caleb that I wanted to try something besides extensions and never thought anything more about it. Well this last Friday a package showed up and it was for me. Husband surprised me with the Ovation Cell Therapy treatment. My mom was at the house when the package came, otherwise I am pretty sure I would have ran upstairs and jumped in the shower right then and there. I remember talking about wanting to try it but its one of those things that just get set aside for a later date. So today is day one. I am anxious to see if this works. I will try and keep updates here so I can see my outcome.

MS 150

Guess what??? Yep I signed up for the MS 150 again. I hope this time I can actually do it. I started training last week. So far so good. I am pretty motivated about getting on my bike, which is a nice change. The race isn't until the end of June but I have a feeling it will be here quicker than I thought.

Girls activity

My mom called me sometime late last week to tell me she had something planned for all four girls on my side of the family. She asked that we meet at her house at 3:00 for something. She wouldn't tell us what it was but I wasn't scared. I wasn't scared until she started mentioning swimming and roller derby. I am pretty sure I could hold my own during a battle of roller derby if it ever came down to it, but the swimming had me worried. Not for the fact of swimming, because I love the pool and swimming. It was the fear of having stubble on my legs, being as pale as the snow that had just fallen, and lastly we just had our little guys birthday party and I had over eaten. My gut looked like our little guys did when we went to Ethiopia to get him. Sooooo bloated and full of food. So I was thankful when I showed up and she had a craft project for us to do. I mean who doesn't love sitting around, talking and being productive at the same time, all while being fully clothed. I didn't take a before picture but here is how it turned out. My mom has the idea to do this once a month and every month it will be something different. If you know my mom you anything is game. I honestly cannot wait to see what next month brings.

A few new things.

I have wanted a new coat for a while but wasn't having too much luck finding one. I had to keep going up in size in order to get the sleeves long enough. (A tall girl problem) I was even trying on men's coats to try and find something that didn't look like a belly shirt as far as over all length goes. Last night was the night. I tried on a couple and lucked out. While looking at coats we were able to get one for our little guy too.

A few days ago I set up a craft day for Laura and me. We each made a little something. I had a great time with her.

Work gifts are done

Nothing like waiting until the last moment to figure something out for Caleb's but at least I can say it is done.

Sooooo lazy

Besides putting up the Christmas stuff these last two days have been oh so lazy. I can't say that I love the fact that I have not done anything but shower, throw my hair in a pony tail, put on comfy clothes and hung around the house. I am sure there are plenty of things I should/could have done but maybe this is the last weekend of this month that we have nothing going on. I am sure in a few weeks I will want another lazy day. So until then this girl is going to enjoy the rest of the night.

The tree is up...the garland is hung...and there is Christmas music to be sung

Today we put up the Christmas tree and hung garland on the railings. Everything that we have bought so far is wrapped but only a few under the tree. Ohhhh I love this holiday season. I sent out my first Christmas count down email to a few peers at work to get everyone in the Christmas spirit. It's all about Christmas music and movies in this house.
