Monday Randoms...

I do this thing called, "pretend you are at camp". This mentality applies when eating weird foods, or having to get up early in the morning. If I were at camp, I would just have to deal with it, so when I "pretend I'm at camp" I just have to deal with whatever I'm doing that I don't want to do. This applied tonight while eating some weird chicken burritos. In my head, they had nice chunks of chicken in them. I was not expecting everything in the burrito to be all mushy, like baby food. Gross. Anyway, I realize this makes me very weird. I would ask if anyone else does this, but I'm pretty sure I'm the only one.

My fabulous hair stylist, Ashlen, left the Salon I LOVE to rent her own chair at a place 25 minutes away. This was quite a dilemma for me. I love the way Ashlen does my hair, but I also love driving 5 minutes to get my hair done. 25 minutes is pushing it. I decided to at least go to her new salon once before making any decisions. Of course, as usual, she did a fabulous job on my hair. So even though the drive SUCKED, I just remind myself that she drove 2 hours to do my hair for my wedding, and then turned around and went right home (even though she was invited to stay...I'm not that mean!). She taught me how to do this to my hair...

and now I'm totally in love. Plus she got rid of my weird highlights and taught me how to make my bangs look more normal and less chunky. See picture below for proof. Did you know to make cute waves in your hair, you start with the curling iron near the root of your hair, and curl by slowly twisting the hair, you do not start at the bottom and roll the curling iron up?! I was doing it all wrong for years! This new knowledge will carry me far in life.

Do you notice how pale my skin is in this picture?! Good God.

Lately I have not felt pregnant. Sometimes I don't even remember that I am pregnant. I guess it still isn't 100% real to me. I find it crazy to know there is a little person growing in my belly. I don't know how I got so lucky to have virtually no morning sickness. I could seriously count the number of horrible days on 1 hand. I've been VERY tired and at times I have some nausea...but nothing I can't deal with. I'm almost 13 weeks! I can't wait until I have an actual baby belly. Currently, I just look fat and bloated.

I love all of the snow outside! I'm happy I didn't have to drive in it though. Rush hour looked horrible. Yay for sick days :) Tomorrow is supposed to be cold. Fingers crossed we have a "cold day" but I'm doubting that will really happen...

I love your hair, it makes me want to grow my hair out again (but we all know that it won't happen). And I am so happy that you don't have any morning sickness and I hope that if and when I am lucky enough to get pregnant again that I have a nice smooth pregnancy too! Also about the I am at Camp thing... very wierd but whatever works for you I guess!

I love your "Pretend you're at camp" mantra, hilarious. Also, love the hair, it looks shorter than you usually go! And I've started making my hair wavy with my straightener... if you have a skinny straitening iron, I should show you the trick sometime, it's amazing. Saw it on some chick's blog, tried it out, and couldn't believe how awesome it worked.

Also - you look hot when not tan!
