Vain

Hair

So you know how people always think that I’m 12 years old? Well I had a good idea yesterday. I thought that maybe if I straightened my hair then people would think I’m like 16 instead of 12. Well I think I still look like I’m 12, even with straight hair. Speaking of hair… I woke up the other day with majorly fluffy hair. So I decided to put hot rollers in my already curly hair (old fashioned much?!) and take before/during/after pictures. Fun stuff!

Before:

During:

After:

I came to three conclusions:

  1. Putting hot rollers in already curly hair makes it look really short. 
  2. I wear flannel a lot
  3. This post is so vain because it has 4 pictures of me in it. That is enough!

Tell me about your hair…. is it straight or curly? Do you do something with it each day? [My hair is super curly and 99.9% of the time I don’t do anything to it-I don’t even brush it! :x]

So blessed

This morning I woke up in my cozy bed, checked my Blackberry cell phone, drank a glass of clean water, had some cereal, and an apple. I turned on my parent’s flat screen television and felt sick.

What the heck is my problem?

I am so richly blessed everyday and I hardly think about it. I was watching coverage from Joplin, MO and my heart hurt. I couldn’t believe how devastated the city was and I couldn’t stop thinking about the many people who are suffering as I just go about my day like nothing has happened.

I read Lindsay’s post on blessings yesterday and it kind of inspired me this morning.

I was going to do a post on something that now seems vain in spite of the disaster in MO. I want to count my blessings now!

5 RANDOM BLESSINGS I AM THANKFUL FOR:

1. Clean and running water in my home!

2. Having a job and being able to make money to support myself and give to my Church.

3. My eyesight! I can look for seashells, read blogs, see the ocean, and look at my family and friends beautiful faces.4. My truck. I can drive to work, school, etc.

5. Blogging friends. I have talked to such wonderful people through blogging and I love everyone 🙂
