The New Me...For Now

I am going through a midlife crisis of some sorts. Maybe not midlife...maybe more of a quarter life crisis. I feel like I am stuck in a rut. I am trying to make changes in my life of things that I can control, which at the moment, doesn't feel like a whole lot. I have had the same hair cut for as long as I can remember. I have played with color but was too afraid to make a drastic change with a cut. When I was pregnant with Emma my hair finally grew and I had the longest hair I have ever had. I kept that hair for over a year. Today I went in to get my hair colored. I went blonde a few months ago but I can't do the upkeep or stand the roots. I went darker and closer to my natural color...whatever that may be. Then I made a quick decision and chopped my hair...I'm talking had to have my neck shaved because my hair is so short. I have never had my neck shaved before...it was kinda creepy. When I left the salon, I didn't cry...yes, that means a lot. I think I might actually like it. It'll take some getting used to, but I don't think I regret it....yet.

So we go from this......



to this....





What do ya think?

My next step in Operation: Regain Identity is a trip to the University Mall on Thursday to spend some hard earned cash on some new clothes. I also ordered a new exercise DVD that I have heard great things about. I hope it gets here soon. I am so pathetic; I keep thinking when the DVD gets here, I'll start eating healthy and exercising....there is always a "when this happens, then I will lose weight" thought in my head. I can make anything make sense too...it's ridiculous. When will I realize that all I have to do is get off my lazy butt, put away the Dr. Pepper and cut back on the cheeseburgers. Last time I got all healthy and lost weight, I got pregnant...let's not have that happen again...yet. I have started to run again..okay, I have gone once since my half marathon and that once was last week...but hey, it's better than nothing. I mean to start running again, but life is so crazy finding the time is next to impossible.

Third step in Operation: Regain Identity-Anyone know how much cankle reduction surgery runs now days?
