Harper Valley PTA

Well, not really.  It just seemed like the right title to put.  Why?  I was elected as the new PTA President!  Lord help me!  I'm super excited and then I make myself freak out over it.  It's a lot of responsibility, but I like to be busy.  Even though it makes me a little crazy, but I was already a little crazy to begin with.

I think for me the best thing about this is that I can make a difference.  And I know even though my mom is in heaven , she's looking down with a huge smile on her face and she's unbelievably proud of me.  She loved PTA.  She loved doing things for the kids.  I look back at my childhood and the most important things I remember about school all involve my momma.  She was always at every event.  Every. Event.  It was always so great to know that she was there.  I hope someday that Boog looks back and has the same great memories.  Of course, at some point {junior high} I was ready for her to not be at the school all the darn time! 

All in all, I can't wait to plan for next year and see what great things we can do for our school.  It's a daunting task, and I know there will be times when I could have done things better, but I can't wait for the challenge!  Here's to hoping I have all my hair by the time schools over next year...

Whoaaa, Slow Down There

I've been super busy this last week and I am just now getting time to stop in really quick to say Hey!  I got my hair cut, I've been painting up a storm, my day job of course :), PTA, and taking care of things at home!  Needless to say it's been a busy, busy week.  I can't complain though, good things are happening, and I think I'm finally over the last of the pneumonia because I've felt great lately.  I have lots to update on and plan to get some posts done this weekend...but don't hold me to that!

We went to 3 Spoons yesterday for the first time, OMG!  Soooo yummy! 

If you have one near you...go NOW!

A Little Fun

I haven't posted about my recent hair adventures, and they have been many, but tonight I was just having some fun and thought I'd share.  I'm a natural blonde.  I get a few high/low lights twice a year and that's pretty much it.  About 4 years ago, I dyed my hair dark for the 1st time ever.  I did it again about a year & a half ago {remember Brenda?}.  About 6 weeks ago I was feeling a little need to get some of my low lights out of my hair.  Ready to be blonde blonde again!  I took it upon myself to do this myself...because I have a super cheap hubby who gets whiney when I go get my hair done to save a little money.  HA!  The joke was on me.  It was green.  And blue.  And completely awful.  And 10pm on a Friday night, which is good right?  Wrong.  Sadly I had 2 funerals to go to the next day, and I certainly couldn't go like that.  So I get in the car and drive to town {remember, I live outside of town, in the country} at 10pm to find a quick fix.  I ended up getting something super dark.  It was all I could think of to do.  I still haven't gotten used to it, and it makes me grumpy.  I'm just not a brunette.

So, last weekend I went and got it cut at a walk-in place.  Huge mistake #2.  Why am I doing this to myself?  I'm claiming temporary insanity.  I ended up with the worst cut.  I cried all the way home.  I feel like I have a girl mullet.  Serious shaping around my face, and its shorter around my face than I like.  Ugghhhhhh.  I told hubby that this is what happens when you don't go to your usual salon to get it done by the wonderful stylist who normally does your hair.  He actually agreed.  Needless to say, I'm off to the salon bright and early Saturday morning to get it fixed!!!  Yay me!!!  

You can see how dark it is here...

I was playing around tonight with one of those virtual hair design things...

Whaddya think?  Cheesy right?  Although I kinda like the last 2, I just don't know what it would really look like on me!  I do know I'm definitely going back to blonde though!  Even though I know the quality of these looks isn't very good, what's your opinion on the short, short hair?  Does it even look right on me?  I've gained some weight so my face is pretty chubby right now and I'm not sure I could pull off anything that short?!?!?  Help!
