A new hair-do

So, as you can see from my new picture, I got a perm. I needed a change. I was so close to chopping it off again. But when it is that short, you actually have to do your hair everyday. Granted, I don't go many places but still, I like to feel like I tried to get ready for the day. Anyway, Jeff likes my hair both short and long, but he really likes it curly. So, I opted for long and curly. If you read the post under Meet the Craguns you will see that when it is short and curly, I could be referred to as "Mushroom Head." Anyway ... my hair was just long and straggly and I felt like one of those dogs that have long straight hair covering their eyeballs. So, we will see how long I can keep this hair do. It is nice to only spend 5 minutes on it and feel like you look half-way decent. It is kind of 80's-ish, though, but I think I can get a way with it since I was born in the 80's, don't you? My goal is to get it the length it was when Jeff and I get married. I didn't realize how long it took. I swear it seems like it hasn't grown in 2 years. I'm sorry I keep goin' on and on, but guys just wouldn't understand because they just don't deal with issues like these. These very,VERY important issues!


So, I uh went V.T.ing today. I received a new companion and list this month so I was trying to get to know the ladies I visit. Anyway, she has two kids in nursery and she is pregnant. The two in nursery aren't twins. One is almost three and one is 18 months. Well, when I get there, I realize, she has an older son in primary. He is like ... 4, I would guess. So, I asked her, how long have you been married, and she said, "we just celebrated our 6th anniversary." I about died! I will soon be celebrating my 6th anniversary, too. Four kids in six years? I'm either WAY behind or she is WAY, WAY ahead. Maybe, it is a little of both, but sheesh. She took the whole, "multiply and replenish the Earth commandment very seriously." Her husband just finshed his first year of medical school and I just don't understand how people can do that with so many kids. It's awesome, and more power to them ... but I just don't think I would have been able to do that. Wow.



She had her younger sister there visiting for the summer, too. I asked where she was visiting from and she said, "Utah. Vernal, Utah." I about died. I was like, "My mom was raised out there." So, I asked her if she knew my cousins, Greg and Shana, and she said she did. So, Joce, if you read this, her dad is Mr. Mueller (sp?). They said he taught Spanish and sometimes History out at the high school. It is such a small world, ain't it?


Here is a pic of Jeff and I tonight. He was walking out the door for school when I realized we matched. So, I wanted a picture. Please pardon Jeff's half-cropped off head. This is the best that you can do when you have to hold the camera yourself all the time! Alrighty, well, 26 more days and we get to go visit Utah! Hip, hip ... HoOrAy! Brax keeps asking, "did we miss our pwane?" I feel so bad, he is so excited he can barely see straight!


My TIP of the day: DON'T LICK METAL ICE CREAM SCOOPS, KID-O'S!



You know how your parents told you not to stick your tongue to a cold pole becaue your tongue WILL get stuck? (I have to mention, because it is funny, that my mom did DO this) Well, don't lick your metal ice scream scoop, either. Last night I scooped up some ice cream and when I was done, I licked the scoop. (I know I'm not the only person to do this. I'm not, right?) So I wasn't expecting a problem and so I did it fairly quickly and my upper lip got stuck to the scoop! I ripped off skin off of the top of my lip. It hurts.
