new hair do


i went and got my hair done for the first time wednesday...
i got it dyed and cut (pretty majorly...5 or 6 inches)

before the appointment i told my cubemates about it tuesday.  wednesday rubina was all excited for me so she said something about it.  i didn't turn around until rubina started laughing and said "kyle's not ready yet."  everyone has a level of control over hair.  apparently even co-worker's.
but yesterday they both approved.

Why?  Because it was time for a change.
-i don't love dealing with long hair in the winter.  ex:  scarves, static, etc.
-this is the time of year when the sun stops naturally highlighting my hair (because i'm not in the sun as much) and it starts to look like i highlighted my hair and now i'm growing it out... roots.  not attractive.

I have a few questions for people who go get their hair dyed and highlighted every few weeks:
#1 HOW???!!?!?
#2 Aren't you bored?  At the end I was SO ready to go, I basically jumped out of my chair.  I am too impatient for that.
#3 How do you find it relaxing?  People say it's so nice.  Maybe it's nice for 20 minutes.  Then it's not nice anymore.  It's time to go.
#4 How do you afford it?  I went to the Aveda School (so it was cheaper and they did a nice job), but I still found it expensive.

So yeah, it was fun and different, but I think I'm good for another 5 years or so of not doing it again.

p.s. it seems to be a pretty big hit and it can pass as natural.

I have a few things to update on today =) Oh I just finished the best meal I've had since I arrived and it was oh sooooo good! I'm so full and happy right now! It was a mexican meal so at least i know i'm going to the right country. yesterday Tere asked me to lead a little yoga class. automatically i said yes because that's how i am, but on the walk from the classroom to outside i started to get nervous. the only person i ever lead in yoga was karen & she laughed the majority of the time (it doesn't really count). i just took deep breaths and i did it. it actually was great. once we started i was able to integrate some favorite posses of the people in the class it was great towards the end when marcelle (who is rather soft spoken, but i love her) lead a few poses as well. i was actually happy with myself. namaste i love our group. everyone is similar that we all have this interest to do missionary work, but we are all very unique and different at the s

Spring!

Yes, I know it is not spring yet.   Today's the meteorological beginning of spring or something, isn't it? I definitely suffered some winter blues last month (yeah, it's March!). Check out these tulip fields for your Friday! Normann Szkop  took awesome photos while flying over Dutch  tulip fields . ( via ) p.s. Two days later I'm still feeling amazing after my juice cleanse .  Yes, it's possible that's not what it's from, but considering nothing else has really changed (except starting a new month, which I am so excited about), it's getting the credit. HAPPY FRIDAY & HAPPY MARCH!

Kitchen Safety

We moved!  We're in our new place and we just got wifi.  Wahoo! I definitely broke in the kitchen quickly.  I was making a panini type sandwich for a potluck get together so I preheated the oven.  The next thing I knew the fire alarm was going off.  Let me tell you they did not skimp on a very loud fire alarm.  Ahhhhhhhh I opened the oven, which I know you're not supposed to do.  In the moment, I think I needed to see what I was dealing with.  There were definite flames.  Ahhhhhhhh So I called Mike while trying to google what to do.  He was super calm the entire call while I freaked out (it probably helped that he couldn't see the smoke billowing out of the oven).   He said to throw baking soda on it.  I did.  It seemed to fizzle but came back. I searched the apartment for a fire extinguisher (maybe I should have looked for one before this moment). This is while I kept trying to silence the fire alarm (to no avail) and open windows to let out smoke. Then Mike
