No Artificial Coloring

On Saturday I decided that I was giving myself a day of beauty and treating myself to a few things. I got a facial, a manicure and a pedicure. Then I thought it would be an awesome idea to get highlights in my hair for the summer. Since i'm going on vacation, I thought they would look nice in the sun.

Possibly J takes me to the salon where the hairstylist proceeds to ask me what kind of color i wanted which should have given me my first clue. I mean common what do I know about hair coloring. So then I tell her, just highlights, nothing too blonde. Mistake number 1. Now mind you, I don't have much highlighting experience so I'm not sure what is supposed to be going on. Next thing I know my hair is bleached and I'm scared. In the end my hair comes out blonder than I wanted but is aid to myself, maybe I'll get used to it. Ha! I spent 2 days dwelling on the fact that I was blonde and I hated it. I hated it so much that I missed work today to get my hair fixed. I went back to the same salon and told the lady that I couldn't take it and i wanted my hair darker.Mistake number 2. I came out a red hed. I called Magpie and I called my mom, both of which had their own take on the issue. My mom called her stylist which said it was ok for me to cover the whole thing up with yet more dye, which I did, and now my hair is black. Usually I have dark brown hair but black is good.

Moral of the story, don't fix it if it ain't broken, and nature got it right the first time. I like myself just fine all natural, without added coloring.

So Hot

It just goes to show you that Global Warming is happening and people should pay attention. We have not even had a few days of decent weather for at least 2 weeks. It's so hot and muggy. If this is what we have started with I can't see myself walking through the city come august.

I find myself doing things a little different these days which makes me curious. For example, normally walking down the street i would have to listen to Nina Nano but now I just walk along listening to the sounds of the city. Same thing when I get home, usually I turn on the TV see whats on the news but these days I just do what I have to do without it. I guess i'm starting to filter out some of the unnecessary background noise. I think it's weird.

My observation of the day is not that interesting but I care enough to blog about it. When did it become madatory to use the word "Nuance" in every other sentence? And when did it become mandatory that everyone use that word....also, keeping things or people "in the loop". Why is the loop so important that everyone must be kept in it? It's a little aggravating that everyone uses the same stupid language all the time. Do they realize that webster has other words they can use. These guys need to get combobulated!!!!

Reflections on Life

I thought somehow that as we got older, life was supposed to get easier. I guess someone tricked me really well into thinking that everything was going to be ok when I grew up. I've been drained, and beaten to a pulp. I can't enjoy law & order and not even the feel good song of the moment is working. What bothers me more is that I feel as though I always have to work 10 times harder than everyone else to make due. Not only that, but even after working so hard I feel like i'm not up to par. Good news is that such and so's last day of work was today so I don't have to worry about her coming into the office and asking for silly things anymore. From now on I have to focus on making my mark to make sure that I succeed where I am.

More good news for me, tomorrow is friday and I get to wear jeans to work and think about saturday and having time to sleep in. Maybe I'll feel better after I get some rest.

For Once in My Life

The feel good song of the last few days: Stevie Wonders, For Once in My Life. It's been in heavy rotation on Nina Nano because everytime I hear it I feel good and peepy and I have no worries. I guess I'm just looking for something to distract me from the madness of work. or maybe it's just an awesome song!!

Yesterday I hung out all day with my husbands and GM which appeared and is back from the underworld, which is more commonly known as New Jersey. We went to an early dinner downtown and then went to see "The Breakup" with Jennifer Aniston. The movie was OK, not very entertaining. I'm not sure actually why people have made such a big fuss about it. I also forgot to mention that I saw "the omen" on friday with Delirum. That kinda sucked too. I mean the whole thing was just not believable and mediocre.

Anyway as of today I have to start working out regularly. I think I need some endorphines to get me through the tough times at work. Such and so is back in the office and it's extremely distracting. If she is bitter why doesn't she just stay away? I swear you can feel the negative energy around her from a mile away. Three more days and that's all.

To Be or Not to Be

According to the quiz - I'm 30% gay.. I followed the link from This Bird's website that led me to a quiz which ultimately told me some thing i already know: You are a straight-laced girlie girl with just a hint of your butch side sometimes popping out. Interesting I guess.

Today I'm dreading tomorrow. Work!!! and the quitter is coming back to "tie up loose ends". I might have to bitch slap her if she gets in my way.

I'm supposed to hang out with GM to do brunch and girly things but I guess she is not up yet. I forget sometimes that I get up way early compared to other people. I do need to get up and get going because it's a nice day out and I can't waste it.

All for the Fans

I have been contacted today personally by Vox requesting that I post something on my blog. My fans are getting restless. I know I have dropped of the face of the earth (or so it seems) but i'm just so Blah.

If you happen to catch This Bird I did manage to make a guest appearance to explain away my situation. Basically I was riding the wave. No not that kind of wave, I was riding The Bitch wave which means basically that my boss was so unhappy she was making life miserable to all those that came within a few feet of her. Well she quit which means that now i have 2 jobs. At least I feel like i'm being productive now and actually getting stuff done. She hasn't been into the office since she quit and now she says she's coming into the office tomorrow. I'm kinda of pissed because i had a flow going and I don't want her to mess it up for me. Plus I really don't have time to chit chat or make nice with her anymore. I would really hate to have to get ethic on her if she gets on my nerve. If you see some crazy story on the news tomorrow pray to zod that it doesn't read: Crazy lady kills former boss in fit of rage.

I have managed to hang out with those that do call me and make me go somewhere on the weekends and after work. I saw the Da Vinci Code which was good, XMen which was ok and The Al Gore documentary that ROCKED!!! I think i'm going to join the Al gore fan club, and if there is no fan club I think I should start one. Let's all look at him now in admiration. For those of you that haven't seen it you must.
