Dangerous.

So, it's dangerously cold here. In the single digits with wind chills to like -10. It's wearing on my nerves. I knew what I was in for coming here, but MAN this winter is LONG and ROUGH. I can't WAIT for spring to hit. I need spring. I need sunshine and short sleeves. Exactly 3 weeks from tomorrow, I will be boarding a plane with The Man and heading down to Louisiana for a crazy-fun-filled week in Baton Rouge & New Orleans for a whole week. I CAN'T WAIT. Mardi Gras, southern food, cajun music, daiquiris, beads, beers, boobs... Everything necessary for a dangerously fun week. ;)

Also. I want to give a little shout out to all my frequent readers in:
New York, NY Norfolk, VA Chicago, IL Peoria, IL St. Louis, MO Newark, NJ & Washington, IL

Confession: I've had a tracker on this thing since the day I started it. ;)

Blizzard.

A big pot of vegetarian chili simmering all day made a perfect snowed-in dinner while the thundersnow hit outside.


Blizzard breakfast. Whole wheat pancakes with berries.


Knee deep on the beach.


The Southern boy loves it.

Out of Order.

Just found some Thanksgiving photos on my camera. Here is what my little Chicago holiday looked like :)

Red 7.

I got the job!!!! I went in for my technical interview today at Red 7 Salon and walked out with a job! Here are some photos of my two models. I had to do a classic bob and a creative cut.

Here they are, Hillary & Donna!

New Year.

Another year has passed and it's almost a new decade! 2010 was most definitely the best year of my life. It is really the difference between being dead and being alive. I was dead inside for 2008/2009, but so very much alive in 2010. I can't wait to see what my world brings now that I'm actually living.

Things have been wild and amazing here for the past month. I was accepted into phase 2 at school. I'm now one of 3 honors students who get to practice in a more realistic salon setting. We get booked every 45 min, all day long, doing services back to back until 5. It's so fast paced and exciting. I often forget about everything else in my life while I'm at school - sometimes it gets me into trouble. I feel like I've kind of lost touch with the rest of the world because I'm so completely wrapped up in doing hair. I think that's ok for now. It makes me happy and right now, that's all that matters.

Tonight, I will be ringing in the new year with some drama! Gavin's theater is having a party and I'm sure there will be tons of actory people there doing actory things. I can assume it will be quite entertaining to say the least.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!
