The Randomness of Our Lives

There hasn't been too much to report these past couple of weeks. Nothing too exciting has happened, so today I am just going to list out a few random things I figured were "blog-worthy" enough.

1. I have started brainstorming what to get people for Christmas. I know it is rather early to start planning, but if you knew my husband at all, you would understand. I always get a "I don't need anything" or a "I don't know" answer when I ask him what he wants. Drives me crazy. So, I have to begin planning early on so when the time comes to shop I at least have some idea of what to get him. Plus, I love Christmas time. It is my favorite holiday and thinking about wrapping presents and hanging decorations just makes me happy.

2. Pinterest. Oh how I love thee. Thanks to my fabulous cousin, I now spend my days pinning pictures of pretty dresses, future craft projects, jewelry, yummy foods and much more. It is totally addictive. Here are a couple of my recent pins:

3. I bought some swim suits this week for our cruise in December. Pray for me.

4. We are currently trying to teach Piper to lift her paw in the air when we say "Hook 'Em." Football season is around the corner, and she needs to know how to show support for her team! It seems to be harder than I expected, though. Currently we will say "Hook 'Em, Piper!" and she will just stare at us with a blank look. Oh well. Either way, she knows how to sit, shake and lay down now.

5. Jarrod started his fall semester at grad school this week. Poor guy has been stressing about one of his classes already. Apparently it requires a lot of coursework. More than the average class. Just two more semesters left, though, and he will be done!

6. One of my pet peeves is people who don't drive in the right direction on a one-way street. Sure, I understand mistakes happen, but it seems like it occurs quite often in the area where Jarrod and I live. There are a number of one-way streets in our neighborhood and almost daily there is someone going the wrong way. Take the other day, for example. I was driving home from work when I noticed a car coming straight at me. I was on a one-way street. And I was going the right way. The other driver finally realized their stupidity and quickly turned onto another street to avoid colliding with my car. However, they had turned onto another one-way street and were driving the wrong way AGAIN. It really gets on my nerves. Seriously, read the signs, people.

7. I have lost two pounds since I started counting calories. Jarrod has lost, like, ten. I hate how quickly guys can lose weight. I am going to have a serious talk with God when I get to heaven. I know Eve ate of the fruit first, but come on! We get punished with child birth and extra fluff?! Just not fair.

8. I have a hair appointment in a couple of weeks and I am trying to decide what I want to do. I don't want a different cut, but I have been debating dying my hair a darker color. I did chocolate brown low lights not too long ago, but no one really noticed the change. I am a natural redhead, but each year my hair gets darker and darker. Sometimes people can't even tell I have red hair. What do y'all think I should do? Should I go darker? Should I go lighter? Should I not do anything? Here are some pictures that I liked:




Well, that is it for today. Hope everyone has a wonderful weekend!
