Taking a shower earlier I had music on shuffle and a song came on a that made me remember how much fun it is to sing Amy Winehouse’s “Valerie” (feat. Mark Ronson 2007) at the top of my lungs. Don’t get me wrong, I have a TERRIBLE singing voice, but there’s something about that song. I hope my neighbors couldn’t hear me, lol!!!
That song lead me to an hour of Two Tone ska. The rude girl of my past is still in there somewhere!
Sooo, apparently I’m going to be a blonde! My hairdresser has been trying to convince me to do it for a few years now and I just kept saying no. I was a blonde once in my mid-20’s and it didn’t work out too well. My hair grows really fast so the roots were always there and the blonde looked really brassy and bad.
She emphasized: hair colors are much better now, the gal who did it back in the day didn’t really have a lot of experience and most of my roots aren’t coming in brunette any more (compared to back then). I visibly flinched when she said that about my roots! HAHAHA! She’s got an idea in her head about the best shade for me and has a plan. That’s what finally sold me, besides the fact I was tired of saying no. She. Has. A. Plan.
I’ve been coloring my hair dark brown for the most part since I was 17 (I was a redhead for a few years too!) then with highlights for about 6 years now (I also did it back in the 90’s, I’m so old!) so we’re partially there. She’s lightening the brown more and more each month and adding more blonde. I think she said I’ll be totally blonde by February or March. Like I keep saying, she has a plan. It’s scary though! I’ve always been a proud brunette!
I think I need to change something about my appearance. Something that can be controlled. So much in life is out of our control, like…
So we found out our office is moving in the first week and a half of December. End of year is our most stressful time, so it isn’t going to be easy. Luckily, my folks are as awesome as they are and gave me the option to celebrate the holidays with them in January if it’s just too crazy. I may take them up on that! Actually, we’ll be moving twice; once to a temporary spot at the new address, then again once they build out our new offices. I should be excited, but the new office is going to be really close to my house. I mean REALLY close. Like a 15 minute walk/ 2 minute drive. I’m weird in that I don’t like living that close to where I work. You always feel like you’re at work when it’s that close! Plus, I can’t take advantage of walking because my hours are so early. No way I’m walking to work at 4:15am! Oh well, I guess I can always move.
After months of failing at getting my cat to eat every day, I broke down last week and asked the vet if he could prescribe an appetite stimulant for my handsome boy. I tried everything I could think of and he would only eat sporadically. So far, the pills seem to be working. Only thing is, he keeps barfing on my living room area rug. The CREAM colored area rug. Luckily, I have a small carpet cleaner! It’s only been four days, but I think he looks better. I got 14 days worth of medication, so I’m hopeful we’ll be in a better place weight-wise when we’re done! It’s been heartbreaking watching him not eat, so I’m thrilled to see him clean his bowl.
I felt like I needed some sparkle in my life, so I put up the Christmas tree a bit early this year and did it yesterday. I usually wait until the weekend after Thanksgiving or do it December 1st. I really like sitting in the living room looking at the tree. It gives everything a nice glow.
My apartment is a disaster zone, lol! Boxes with decorations dragged out and strewn about. Furniture shoved aside. I’ll have it nice by the end of this next weekend…I hope!
If I don’t add another post Happy Thanksgiving, if you celebrate. If you don’t, have a great week!!!! I’ll try to take a picture of the tree for my next post.
