Golden? Sandy? Dirty? Blonde

Well some of you may think I'm weird but I'm obsessed with hair! I love fixing people's hair and have colored a few of my friend's heads. I try to keep my hair healthy by not putting a lot of products or heat on it. I am a color freak though and I thought it would be interesting and appropriate to try to color my hair back to my natural color - dirty blonde. Well here is the new me...

I got it colored Tuesday here in CS. Jaclyn does a great job and she is so nice to talk to! I loved the initial result. I was skeptical at first but I told myself it would be fine. She used a golden blonde color but I don't know how to describe it! It's looks brunette but everyone says it's just a dark blonde. My friends all liked it but my biggest critic, Shelby, who said it wasn't me. And that's how I'm feeling this morning. So Laura and I have been talking...I don't want to be a poophead for my birthday on Friday so if I can get in, I'm going to do some high and low lights to give my golden-sandy-dirty blonde hair some dimension. I like doing spunky things if you remember the time I put blue in the lower part of my hair in the spring hahaha! Mom said, "At least you could've done maroon!" Oh well, it was fun for the time being - Love ya, Kimbo! I also love Laura & I love my SueSue and they said it's just not me unless I turned into some boring and quiet girl...HA! yeah right. So I'm going to concentrate on some reading and pray that I can call Tuesday morning and get in this week ;)

OH! Aggies btho Utah State 38-30! Aa-aa-aa-aa-aaaaaaa! (sophomore wildcat) Gig 'em!

Friends through Thick and Thin

I'm glad that I'm keeping up on posting at least once a week although it does take away from my study time. Oh well, tonight is college night and Nurse Alexis is at home making sure Sick Sister Shelby is getting better from her bacterial infection. She has missed two days of school and will miss her Geology lab tomorrow. Sad to say she has only been an Aggie for a few weeks and is already skipping classes!! Oh well, Jeanne told Mom that they TAMU is not wanting anyone feeling sick coming on campus because there has been an outbreak of the piggie flu here. So being the good nurse I am, I came home from work/softball and made us tortilla soup. It was a bit peppery but now I know you can overuse pepper! Dad thinks that pepper is the almighty seasoning! He sprinkles it all over his dinner plate but tonight, I think he would've commented on my spicy soup. Oh well, lesson learned!

This week has gone by fairly quick. Not much has been going on but I'm trying to catch up on my reading. Shelby and I had a math exam that we completed after the VMA's, which Kanye was totally rude interrupting Taylor Swift! Monday afternoon was hectic. I missed my gov't class because I was tossing baseballs in the batting cages, got looked at by at "geek" at Best Buy insinuating that I'm a "dumb blonde," attended the 1st meeting of the collegiate 4-H organization we are starting back up here at TAMU, and drug Taylor Martin along to a comedy on-campus about a deaf, nearly blind, and lesbian woman for my Women's Psychology class. Tuesday was a big day because I have been constantly thinking about it since I made the appointment...to color my hair. I'm calling it dirty sandy golden blonde. It turned out great and it goes with my favorite season, fall! Wednesday, Mom came into town and that's when Shelby woke me up and told me she didn't feel good so thank goodness, Super Mom was here to save the day because I had class and softball! Today, I pulled tickets for the football game verses Utah State this Saturday. Stephanie Mahoney and Molly Melanson wanted to come so we are going to be sitting together on the wretched 3rd deck. But, after halftime, I will be making my way down to stand behind my Aunt Lori, Sydney, and her friend & sons because it's a night game and I have a feeling it's either going to rain or be cold and windy. Today was a good day until it rained right before Laura and I had to go to a concert for our Music class. So we got her roommate to drop us off and pick us up - Thanks Amanda!

So I'm taking it easy as you can tell and I don't plan on doing much tonight except cleaning the mess I made in the kitchen and my room and bathroom. Tomorrow, Laura and I are going to have a girl's day out. We may do a little shopping and go see Love Happens. I really want to go check out the Bryan Marketplace and the new Organic Store, which is two blocks from campus. She has really been my anchor since moving back to CS. As you know, I had mixed emotions about coming back to school here but my friends have been a great support system! Although we both have had some rough days, it's getting better after each beautiful sunset and tells me to be thankful for another beautiful sunrise that wakes me up at 7 every morning.

And I'm going to be officially no longer a teenager in 7 days, 19 hours, and 8 minutes! I don't know what to think of it! I feel old and think that I need to mature in some ways but otherwise, I just want to have a carefree birthday and relax and go dancing!!! Oh yes Mom, I do want a cake! Duh!

It's beginning to look like...

Fall and Football Season!!! And if you know me, these are a few of my favorite things! And now I'm speechless...literally. Just lost my train of thought so now I am rambling like my dad would say is my favorite thing to do! Ha! Yeah right, Dad!

Ok, back to blog business! So the Aggies posted their first win of the season 41-6 against the New Mexico Lobos. Not only were my eyes glued on the field, but my goosebumps rarely disappeared from the time I got off the bus to the time we left the field. Laura pulled our tickets second deck and if it would've rained, we would've been covered by the awning we were under. Later that evening we just relaxed at home and my friends brought my sister back and we watched the highlights of that day's games. Speaking of ESPN, I am officially hooked on Sports Center. It's addicting! Although it may be repetitive at times, I don't care because what more could I ask for than more sports?! I plan to start attending some volleyball games as the Aggies roll into conference soon.

I have fallen a bit behind in my reading. Hence, I have to read two books for PSYC and POLS, one for Music, watch long films for PSYC, and keep up with my online homework and exams every week. Boy, am I going to have some good time management skills in the next few weeks! Now especially since softball has started and I started work on Tuesday. This week has been fairly quiet and easy because the girls are only allowed 8 hours a week with the coaches. This includes workouts and mandatory practices although the girls are encouraged to "tune-up" in their free time as well.

I'm coming home this weekend because there is absolutely nothing to do in CS. Friday night, I'm going to Boling to the football game to watch Trey's brother's football game. Tyler is like a little brother to me and I wish I got to see him more because he is soo goofy and fun to be around! I would really like to go to the EC Volleyball and Football games but my friends have been planning this for awhile and Tyler wants me to come. I miss volleyball a lot because I was helping out/volunteering a lot of my time before I moved back to CS. Those girls are only a few years younger than I but I feel that they, freshman to seniors to the coaches, taught me a lot. Of course, I learned some more about the game but I'm talking coaching and life lessons. So right now, my career steering wheel can't decide which road to turn down - Physical Therapy, Coaching or Chiropractic School. I also miss being on the sidelines of the football games. I always said that if I coached, I wanted to coach football too. haha...well I meant being down there with a camera for yearbook and visiting with Mr. Barbee, Mr. Aulds, and Dr. Scott. With that said, I am trying to decide if I would like to minor in Journalism or Photojournalism. It's a big step for me because I feel a minor is not much education on the aspects of something I have a passion for but double-majoring in completely opposite career paths would be a tough route to go. So I have a lot of decisions to make this fall but I'm not going to worry about them too much with all the homework and household chores I'm behind on!

I hear thunder? Or was it the doorbell?

This week has been super drawn out and hectic. Although in the time I have spent at home, has not been spent wisely. That's why I couldn't decide if I heard thunder or the doorbell first. I know, that is the most random accusation of my day but you never know how high or low the pitch of your doorbell is sometimes after it's been a long day. Well it was both. First, the thunder of the storm brewing here, followed by Jeanne and Ozzy at my door. Jeanne claims that every time her and Ozzy, her adorable, precious Yorkie, go on a walk, he has to come see me! I love it! Makes me smiles and I even get kisses ;) Well, Jeanne comes in and tells me she has to have surgery on my birthday, the 25th. I told her, "Hell no! I'm going with you! I'm sorry." Yes, an odd reaction but my CS mother has been through so much in the past few years but her and her family all remain in my prayers. As well as many others and if you ever need one said, please ask me!

This picture is from Scott Niemeier and I exploring El Campo for shots of the bad storm a few weeks ago that rolled through EC.

Last night, a group of girls went to Kyle Park at the Hall. We have been planning this for quite some time because KP has become our favorite singer! The boys became overwhelmed with homework and weren't able to go. It became a girl's night out with Laura, Bay, and Tori. There were some other girls as well but I don't really know them. It wasn't as much fun as we usually have when we go to a concert at a dance hall but KP did amazing! We did not stay out very late because we all have early classes so we left after he sang his best song, "Alone in the Light."

This weekend, we may go dancing again at a free concert. Gotta save some money, yo! But I'm more concerned about this simply filthy house because Steve-O and Kimbo Slice are coming to the first Aggie Football game and staying the night! Whoop - Oops...I meant Mom & Dad ;) So family time we will have for a short time because I have soo much reading to do! I have two for Women's Psychology & Texas Government! I'll probably save my Music reading for the night before the class because it's not as much as the others. I also have many quizzes and tutorials for my online classes. So after the traffic subsides and I am maneuver slightly quicker through town, I need a jump drive so I can go to the computer lab and do my Comp Tech homework. That's if this storm doesn't stop me! Especially since I've been procrastinating my workouts since Monday...I will run tonight though, somehow, somewhere!
