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.

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 ;)
