I Gone and Done IT!

Once upon a time I had a hair dresser who said he didn't give PMS haircuts.

Mainly, his point was you weren't allowed to go a long time without getting your hair cut and then come in ask him to hack your hair off. He thought those decisions were based on poor hair maintenance.

Most of the time he was right and I was glad he didn't let me hack my hair off. Today I went and got a hair cut and I am not even going to tell you how long it has been.

I will tell you that I was going through a bottle of hair conditioner a week just to keep the snarls at bay.

Yes it was that bad.

Meanwhile, I have been thinking..

and thinking..

and thinking..

What a pain my hair is and how I am ready for a change.

How in my 30 something years of life I have basically stuck to the same hairstyle.

Same style different lengths.

So when I finally went in and cut it today I said, "Chop it." I gave her a couple more instructions but I didn't hover over the top of her giving her exact directions.

When I got home my oldest said, "It's ummm short. It looks fine I guess."

The dog barked at me because she didn't know who I was.

The youngest said, "You look weird."

I may have made a terrible mistake but the truth is I was ready for change.

I am ready for a change it is time once again to take that big step out of the box.

What will I do next?

So here it is what do you think, "Weird" or "Ummm Fine."





Prayers and Hugs,

I like what that hair cutter says about the PMS haircut. Too true, man. It's cute. How can you go wrong with all your curls?

I love it!!!!

I am a PMS hair cutter. Actually, it isn't that so much as I just finally get tired of longer hair all at once. My hairdresser always stresses out when I tell her to cut it off, because that order generally comes after months and months of trying to grow it long. Suddenly I am over the long hair and ready for a short due.

That was probably more information than you really wanted to know about my hair psychosis. ;)

Still, I love your new cut!

I lOVE IT...To the darling Hairstylist who says he doesn't do PMS cuts he is really saying.. I want permanent business and I'm going to use PMS to guilt you into feeling like you have to come and cut it so your not just being flim-flam girl PMS excuse BLAH BLAH... Men don't understand PMS and they shouldn't pretend to.

Registered! What Have I done?

I'm just home from the gym. My legs are shaky, my shirt is sweaty, and my muscles are loose. Saturday, I biked almost 30 miles on a hill before getting off the hill and finishing up at 35 miles. This morning I went for a nice 70 minute jog. (Legs are not HAPPY!) Last night before going to bed I registered for "Little Red." Paid my non-refundable registration fee. Needless to say I'm what you would called, "FREAKED!" Holy Cow what have I gotten myself into, a 100 mile bike ride.  Do you know that this ride will actually take me out of one state into another and back. Does that sound insane? Who gets up and says hey lets ride our bikes to that state over there and back? I think I have officially lost my mind. How does one know for sure if they have lost there mind? Short of registering for a 100 mile bike ride. Do you know people do these all the time? They do them for fun! Maybe that is the definition of insane. Well what is done is done and I have 16 weeks...

Ask "the SwimMom" Holiday Edition

One thing that you may not know about me is that in my senior year of high school I worked at Baskin Robins. I scooped, dipped, mixed, and created ice cream concoctions for almost an entire year. It was the best and worst job I ever had. My favorite ice cream desserts were malts. Ummmm!!! That is why when I came across this recipe a few years later I couldn't wait to try it. That is why after I tried this recipe it became one my favorite cookie recipes. Below is the recipe for: "Chocolate Malted Cookies" 1 cup butter-flavored shortening 1-1/4 cups packed brown sugar 1/2 cup malted milk powder 2 tablespoons chocolate syrup 1 tablespoon vanilla extract 1 egg 2 cups all-purpose flour 1 teaspoon baking soda 1/2 teaspoon salt 1-1/2 cups semisweet chocolate chunks 1 cup (6 ounces) milk chocolate chips In a mixing bowl, combine shortening, brown sugar, malted milk powder, chocolate syrup and vanilla; beat for 2 minutes. Add egg. Combine the flour, baking soda and salt; gradually...

Come and Gone

Christmas has come and gone the final hours of 2010 has began. I'm sure that I have a 2010 reflection post in me somewhere. But! Our 2010 is ending with family, friends and the baptism of my baby. It is so hard to type that sentence even harder to believe that we are baptizing our last little one. So the end of this year is going to come and go without a reflection post. I have chili to cook and family to visit and.... I did want to share with you a quick look at our Christmas We spent Christmas Eve at Grandma's house. At 80 years old she keeps the party rocking and we enjoy the time we get to visit with everyone. (A quick picture before we left. I try to get this picture every year on Christmas Eve.) Melting snowman was our little Christmas Eve joke since all of our Christmas snow had melted. (The stockings after Santa's Visit) This year we enjoyed a brown Christmas. The snowflakes all disappeared and the hopes of a White Christmas were in vain. ...
