Do Anything But We MUST FIX THE HAIR!

This is me trying to take a picture of myself so you can see my tremendously large awesome earrings. You know the ones I bought after testing because I have an addiction? Yes those. These are the biggest ones I have. No I take that back, I grabbed some others that were so cool, and looked like Indian dream catchers with lots of little beads.

OK. I digress.....

Those were TOO big. They were 6 inches long and at least 3 inches wide. They were so heavy they pulled the earlobe into a slit. Seriously these things were heavy. Not only that, I had to get a little sling thing going on to turn my head so they'd fall over my shoulder. You know, one of those where you kind of fling your head real quick and then the earring is hanging down your back instead of your front. Yes, I said 'down' your back! God, it was ridiculously funny. Much, much too big. But still cool, I just can't wear them. So they'll hang on my earring holder as a reminder at how stupid I can be sometimes. It's just that at the checkout the guy said, 'If you get another pair you can have them a half price!' So I just grabbed those because they had caught my attention. No thought given. None at all. Now these earrings I have on are manageable and lightweight. And not too bad, in my humble opinion.

Enough about earrings. Remember they're my drug so you'll probably be hearing more about them.

You people who can take pictures of yourselves with your digital cameras and make them look good....well you suck. This is one of....oh....I.....don't know....maybe a dozen; trying to get a decent shot so you could see the earrings and I don't really suck too bad at the way I look, so this one got the vote. Maybe I'll get the hang of it.

Today I decided, well yesterday, or maybe the day before, hell I can't remember, anyway I looked in the mirror and all of a sudden there it is staring back at you.....ROOTS!
"Oh shit, I need my hair done and I need it done NOW."

So that's what I did today, went and got the works done. So we had to FIX THE HAIR! AT ALL COSTS YOU MUST FIX THE HAIR! Jodie did a good job.

I actually feel as if I'm making progress here. Of course I haven't started working on cleaning the house the way it should be, at least not yet. I think my self imposed 'relax and de-stress' from school is probably officially over. I really don't have a good excuse to lay around and be useless, the worst is over. The written test will come up next week and I think it will be okay. As they say at school; If you can get through our daily tests: our 210 test, our 300 test, our 540 test and our 700 test and pass, well, you'll pass 110 questions on your theory for boards. Don't sweat it. So you know what, I'm really not. Now watch life throw a wrench in it and for some reason I miss too many because I had several brain farts all in a row. Enough Donna......deep.....deep breaths. The worst is over. CLEAN YOUR HOUSE!

After the hair thing today I stopped by the beauty supply store and bought nail polish and then stopped by the jeweler next door to ask about resizing my mom's rings. I think it will be a bit pricey because I want them to go over my thumb joints then fit fairly snug and since I'm older and those joints are bit larger than they used to be (age sucks) it's gonna cost more....maybe. The Jeweler said he'd have to see them and see what he could come up with. He's terrific and very good at what he does. And it shows by the way he's swamped all the time.

It was such a nice day even though there were blackclouds hanging overhead and up north which looked as if they could turn into tornadoes at any second. Sounds like an oxymoron doesn't it but it was kind of neat. I like storms as long as they don't damage property. So I figured a quick trip to Sonic for a root beer (another vice) and then on home. Most people would hurry home, me, I've got to have a rootbeer at all costs. Once on the highway I had lightening streak from the sky in a straight line and hit the ground right in front of my car just seconds before I drove where it struck. I've never seen anything like it. Straight down, BAM! I bet if the windows were down I could have smelled the ozone in the air. I wondered what would happen if I'd been just a second later and it hit the car or the windshield. Would it strike me dead? Would I be electrocuted? Then I decided with some relief that at least my corpse would have a nice hair do, provided it didn't go up in smoke of course! LOL Okay NOT funny, but hey, we have to laugh at life right? Otherwise I'd be ranting, raving and crying, like I've been doing nearly everyday for the last year after school. Did I mention that I'm thankful God made tranquilizers?

Yes I am.

But wasn't it Confucius that said: The journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step? I think it was something like that. Well, that's it for now. I was going to tell you all about my testing experience in more detail. It's actually sort of humorous now that I'm not doing it, but I don't think I'll dwell on it tonight.
