shorter than expected

today it was time for my haircut.  


Let me give you a little background on how well i take care of my hair.  ummmm.  i don't.  i get my hair cut every 4-6 months at great clips and i always say 2 inches trimmed and add some layers (because by the time I go in again the layers i originally had put it are no longer distinguishable).  


so i went in today and said the same thing, but slipped, instead of saying 2 inches i said a couple.  the guy asked, "by a couple you mean 3-4 because i want to cut 4 inches off and add some crazy layers and make you look fierce?"  I still remember the last time I had that much cut off it was a male hair dresser as well and he didn't even get approval to cut that much off... he just did it.  i was a little upset with him (it was in mexico and i didn't get my hair cut in mexico again.  meaning i went 10 months without letting anyone touch my hair thanks to him.).  


so at first i resisted.


i feel like it's the males who want to do their own thing because they know best or whatever.  whereas the women generally keep in what they really think and offer suggestions only when asked.


then i said i changed my mind and he could do whatever he wanted.  i just went with it.


yeah, it's short, but sometimes it's good to go for a change.  i'm looking at changing a lot of things in my life right now so why not start with my hair?

museum field trip

i've been doing really well on my field trip resolution . yesterday i hit up another one:  the chicago history museum .  it turns out it was a free day there, even though i was going to get in free anyway.  that means it was busy! which is fine, i still got to take a gander around.   I've never been to the history museum before so that in itself was exciting. probably my favorite part was when they talked about the world's fair in chicago (i can't remember the exact name).  the buildings were so much grander than i imagined them in my mind while i read, devil in the white city a couple months ago.  it was fun to see what it was really like.  and wow! there was also an awesome exhibit about workers rights and such. so it was a fun little excursion.  

thanksgiving time

( via ) Yes, I like Santa.  But why is everyone so anxious to start with Christmas?  Why can't we appreciate Thanksgiving first? don't get me wrong, i'm excited to watch Love Actually again (when it's in-season.  i actually watch it all year long). everyone kept talking about christmas being everywhere this month, but i really only encountered it when i walked around the mall with Greta (my sister-in-law) on Monday.  it was all over the mall.  it could have been december. look what Nordstrom is doing i'm actually really excited for thanksgiving this year... (details to follow) but as far as today goes... I have to share this with you because I think it's funny ( via ) actually... at 11:11 I was running around looking for a book called The Moon Seems to Change

Birthday

i was yawning? Here I am: 28! Top 5 of 27: LouFest Marathon Florida (how can a vacation not make it?) New Job trip to Savannah to meet Callie ! My parents came to Chicago last weekend to help me celebrate & celebrate we did!  It was a super fun weekend!  And it was 40 degrees! Friday I was on the phone with a member from Kansas City.  He started chatting with me about the weather and I said, "we are currently experiencing a heat wave in Chicago of 34 degrees."  He responded, "it's supposed to be 60 here this weekend, we're going to pull out our bbq grills."  I laughed, but thought, 'why are my parents coming here?!? why am I not going where it's warm?!?' SIXTY DEGREES!  We won't see that til...april?  may? obsessed  i made a baby snowman, no one wanted to help so i went with a tiny one... ;) What I would give for the day off today!  I want a nap ;)
