Silver & Gold Sparkle

Oh … hey there!! I haven’t posted any outfit photos in a while – shame on me! I usually use my weekends to get a little bit caught up on blog stuff but we’ve been going non-stop for two weekends in a row now! It’s nice to just be able to sit down, breath, and get a few ideas organized for upcoming posts! There was no real planing involved in this one .. so you get my free-write-brain-dump today! I think I’m going to have to start putting in some late night hours to keep things on track because my day job just doesn’t leave me with a lot of time!
I should let you all in on a secret- my hair isn’t this color any more! Nerp! Last Friday before we went out of town for the weekend I decided I had to dye my horrible roots, because The Gaslight Anthem would surely see them from the stage and be disgusted? I don’t know why but I just .. I could not go out of town without dying my hair. It turns out that Sally Beauty closes at 8PM and we arrived precisely at 8PM, of course. I stood at the locked door watching the last few people check out while the cashier gal mouthed, “We’re closed”. Deflated, we drove toward Target. I made a last minute decision to purchase a box dye – a thing I swore I’d never do again. Oh guys! My hair is dark and strangely uneven – but FABULOUS looking. Hahaha. It totally looks like I did whatever I did on purpose. I was not happy at first but it’s still very red, and almost looks ombre. Last night I gave it a good all over trim and added some layers – I’m feeling pretty good about it now! It’s probably not very Spring or Summer but I’m thinking a few blonde (and turquoise!) highlights might be just what it needs! Now.. I will make you wait to see photos. :]We finally have some sunshine today – which is so nice! It’s in the 60’s and I’m feeling so pumped about hopefully having seen the last of the disgusting grey weather. For at least a week there was constant drizzle/snow mix with a few inches here and there, and then our heat went out upstairs! Getting out of bed in the morning when your house is an ice box is the WORST. We shut it off for a few days and thankfully when I tried it this morning, it came on! Of course it did, now that it’s warm outside. ;]

I’m still plugging away at my diet and exercise routine! Saturdays are cheat days – meaning I can eat whatever I want! I had just a few tiny slices of pizza and felt so full immediately. It is beyond amazing what regular portion control can do. I used to be able to eat so much and I would still be hungry! I got a really good workout in this morning, had my protein shake, and finished it off with pizza. SO I’m feeling good about today. Have a great weekend, guys!
