Bad hair day

Hello, Well I couldn't wait much longer to get my hair cut cuz I my hair was getting too long to do anything with. So I decided to go to Trend Setter's (a hair cutting school) because I didn't have a lot of money to spend. So I told them how I wanted my hair cut and I was going to get some highlights cuz I wanted to hide my gray hairs. So what went wrong? You might say by the time I was done I looked like a leopard to say the least. I was so shocked I couldn't even tell them. So by the time I got home I walked in and started crying. I hated my new leopard look. I could handle the short hair cuz I know it will grow out. So my friend Julie called and I told her of my hair troubles. She said come on over and we will figure it out. I was ready to shave my hair again to start all over. She told me to call them and see what my options were. So I did Julie even came with me for moral support (thanx Julie) Well I ended up having them color all my hair back to my natural color and I received my money back for the color. I was happy not so much with the hair cut but that they colored it back and I don't look like a leopard anymore.

So now I am just waiting for my hair to grow out and hopefully that won't take all that long. I am not sure if I will go there again but it is the cheapest place to get hair cut and highlights or color. I will definitely bring in a picture next time if I go back. So my bad hair day turned out to be okay. I went to dinner with my room ates and that cheered me up. Thank you!!!!!!

I am being punished

So I want to apologize for my last blog I think I am getting punished I woke up today with a total head cold. Ears draining, nose draining in the back of my throat etc. Total head cold. So I got up and went to work slept for an hour and a half and still felt like crap. So I told work I need to go home and get better. They let me (thank you). So I came home called my Home Teachers to get a blessing and then went to bed. I was so cold and I put on those soft so soft socks and had a Mexican blanket, a soft so soft blanket and a down comforter and I was still freezing. I was finally able to fall asleep. My home teachers came over at 5:30 to give me a blessing. I am now feeling a lot better. I will get plenty of sleep tonight and have faith that I will be able to go to work tomorrow. I will try not to be so prideful....lol.

Jealous of me.....

Okay, everyone not living in Alaska around October is way jealous of those who do. Yes we get what is called a Permanent Fund each October. This year we hear it is to be 2 grand. Then to top it off this year our Governor Sarah Palin is giving Alaska residents a stipend of 12 hundred dollars to help off set our high energy bills. So I am stoked. Wouldn't you be? You are jealous!!!! I get about three grand to do with what I want....oh what girls can buy lol. Either way I will be responsible and purchase a camera since I lost the last one then I will split the rest in half and put on half towards my bills and then the rest I will put in my savings to live on in case of an emergency...... you never know when that will happen hopefully never.

School

So, I have been spending all this time trying to get my transcripts together so I can meet with Wayland Baptist to get my Bachelors in Human Services. Let me tell you I can't handle dealing with stupid people. UAA was the worst and I live in Anchorage. They offer anything on-line it is like they are replacing customer service with the computer. So I ended up physically going to UAA to ask for my transcripts. So I ordered them around the same time I ordered two from Utah and one from California. So UAA came 2nd to last. Go figure the closest takes the longest.

So I have a meeting Weds. morning to meet with an academic advisor. I am way excited. They said I could start classes this month like in two days but as you know I don't like to be rushed in things so I declined to start in two days and will meet with them to find out how long it will take for me to get what I want. (as if I haven't waited long enough) I also want to know how much it will cost me cuz I can't afford to go unless I get Financial Aide all the way. So wish me luck!!!! I will need it.

I am way scared to go back to school. My short term memory never connects long enough for me to remember what the teacher is saying more or less to study and retain. Any advice for retaining what I read and or listen to? I will need prayers. Thanx ahead of time.

wedding........

Okay I am not getting married but yesterday as I was taking breaks between cleaning I was watching movies....well for some odd reason I was inspired on how I want my wedding reception to be. I figured I would share and see if you had anything to offer.... first off it won't be in a church cuz I want lighted candles.. I want a large full moon hanging from the ceiling illuminated that really looks like a moon. I want stars ( x-mas lights) with black back ground so we can be inside but feel like we are outside. I want trees, rocks, and waterfalls surrounding the edges as if we were in the middle of Alaska. For table clothes I want cobalt blue and then a shear silver lining over , I am not sure about the center pieces, any suggestions?, but they will have candles. For some reason I am getting very excited about this new insight I received. I have always wanted to get married on the moon so why not bring the moon to my wedding....... I CAN'T WAIT!

cleaning

Okay, Yesterday (sat) I had a wild hair where I went on a cleaning spree. Go figure if I ever get that way when I am visiting your home just let me clean. It is therapeutic for me on many levels. I cleaned the kitchen, both bathrooms, vacuumed and cleaned my room, at the end of the day I wanted to take a bath to relax all the muscles I used to clean and go figure I couldn't get the stopper to work to stop the water from going down the drain. I was sad cuz I love taking baths! But I now can feel the spirit cuz my home is clean yippeee!

The Mummy

with humor Okay, I went to see the movie The Mummy. I loved it. It had action and it was hilarious!!! I almost peed my pants. There were some funny lines which due to my short term memory lost I can't remember them at all but it was worth the time and money. If you liked the other Mummy movies you will like this one. I thought the others were funny the only thing I wish they did actually two things I wish they did was... first use the same wife in all of them.... second they needed to use the line and I quote "Not another mummy I hate mummies" Brendan Frasier. They didn't use it in this movie but used that quote in the other two go figure they can't stay consistently. Go see it.....
