Fashion Friday

Today's post is all about Fashion...

Ok so not really but here's a fashion tip for you. Do NOT go four months without getting your hair trimmed. Birds will try to make nests out of your split ends they will be so dead and dry. I promise.

So after four long months of putting it off, I got my hair done. My roots look one million times better! My stylist Holly informed me that I needed to get my hair trimmed once every 5-6 weeks in order to keep it healthy.



Below is my Before "hairdo" photo...yucky faded color. straw like split ends. I can't believe I was let out in public with ends that looked that bad!! Look closely you can see a bird nesting in there!
After! Ahhh. Much Better! More Natural in my opinion. She added lowlights and highlights. She did my hair in her kitchen so I wouldn't have to pay her salon price :) I felt kind of funny walking around with my hair foiled in front of her husband and the friends he had over... Oh well.

My Chocolate Children.
Oh this just melts my heart! I can't imagine what I'll be like with my real kids one day!
Have a great weekend! I'm off to Homecoming in my Hometown to Watch my baby sister be crowned Queen!

Top Ten Thursday

I'm super excited about Today's Top 10 Thursday because....

It's top 10 Reasons why I LOVE my Blackberry!!!

And boy do I ever love my blackberry!!

Why you ask??

10. Because It's red and pretty

9. Because it's lasted so long! Birdie even chewed on it and it's lasted...teeth marks and all.

8. Because I can play BrickBraker for free as much as I want and Sean cannot beat my high score and it makes him mad!

7. Because I can Never get Lost with my Navigation a la Blackberry

6. Because I can check my e-mail whenever I want

5. Because T9 Sucks

4. Because I can blue tooth to my Mac for Internet... No wires!!!

3. Because I get to check the weather at any moment which helps feed my paranoia during thunderstorms

2. Because it's musical ring tones wake me up ever so softly verses my alarm clock that beeps at me and jerks me out of sleep.

1. Because at all times I'm connected to everything I'd ever need to function...is it sad I depend on my phone and feel naked without it??


I just realized I started ever point with the word "Because" I don't really feel like finding another word to insert there so just pretend I didn't start every point with that word :) Thanks

Jump on over to Jennifer's at It's a Beauty Filled Life to see more top 10's!

I'm Alive

Well I survived the night!!! The police hound dogs tracked the guy down river a few miles so I slept a little easier. The dogs never caught up with him though, he's long gone by now I assume. I wonder if he'll come back for his girlfriend? What I really want to know is what he did that was so bad!? They had the US Marshals out there looking! Apparently he was armed..I'm glad I didn't know that yesterday when Sean was out running around looking for him.
You can read all about it here if your interested.


***Edited to add for Laura and Josh*** I didn't take pictures because 1. I only went home to make sure all was ok with Sean because he wasn't answering my calls and 2. I'm scared of policemen..I thought they might ask me not to take pictures of their suspect :) 3. I totally FORGOT my camera!!! I will put photos of my new hair do up though, it's just raining today and it looks all frizzy and puffy and you don't want to see that I promise!

Man Hunt!

Hey Everyone...Say a little prayer for me!


They are having a man hunt AS WE SPEAK for a fugitive in my pasture! I repeat..POLICE ARE SEARCHING FOR A FUGITIVE BEHIND MY HOUSE..DIRECTLY BEHIND MY HOUSE. 10 FEET BEHIND MY HOUSE. I'M GOING TO DIE.

Ok sorry...

I'm not sure what he did but the US Marshals are out there so it's got to be a federal offense. There are about 10 cop cars in my driveway, and 10 or so more surrounding half of our ranch. They think he's swam up river so they are tracking him with dogs also! There is a helicopter flying around out here too. I hope pass-er by-ers don't think our house is the headquarters of a major drug ring and we are being busted, or think we are having a domestic disturbance that requires a helicopter...or I dunno something else bad.


Apparently these two "fugitives" (innocent until proven guilty) lost control of their vehicle while being chased by police and ran through our fence into the pasture and just kept on trucking until they reached the river. The police have the woman in custody, she had Neon pink hair so it was hard for her to hide :) She was really mouthy, and cried a lot. She was standing outside when I drove up. They man is still MIA.

Sean is having the best time with all of this, which is a little disturbing. He wanted to help them look for the guy but thank goodness they said no. He had a lot of fence to repair though!

So anyway pray that we stay safe tonight, because he could be hiding very near my house and that scares me a little bit. This kind of thing NEVER happens around here so I'm not used to this!!

P.s. On a lighter note I'm getting my hair "did" tonight so at least if I am murdered tonight in my sleep my roots will look great!
