The Hair Week

So, I decided that if in fact I do find & buy a house, I won't be able to keep up the darker hair color. It is also almost summer & a good time to go lighter. I went to have my color closer to my natural color so the growth wouldn't be so noticeable. Well, apparently I shouldn't have chosen a gold toned color. My hair just soaks it up & the girl put me under the dryer because the last time I went in my roots wouldn't take the color. This made the color more intense & more of an orangey color. This wouldn't have been so bad if it was more throughout the rest of my hair, but NO....I had orangey roots & the rest was dark....not too cute! I went back the next day for almost 3 hours to have it fixed. They had to first use bleach to pull out some of the darker color & the roots. This caused flaming, "carrot top" orange roots! Now I don't have anything against that color hair....it just doesn't look good on me. Thankfully it is much better now, but I didn't have any of my natural color left for the second girl to work from. My hair also got a little damaged from all this so today I got 2 inches cut off. Kinda sad because I've been trying to grow it out, but it really needed to be cut. I like it & can still pull it up for the summer heat & work. I'll have to post pics when it looks cute. The cut is the same as I've had, just the color is different.

House Hunt Update:
This is not fun! 2 houses I've put offers on didn't go through. Really bummed about the second one. I now understand what many of you have been through....looking & looking for your house. My enthusiasm has died down, but am still kinda looking. I'm just afraid that what I really want is too far out of my price range. I'm trying to keep it all in perspective....this is only my FIRST place and I AM still single & don't need a lot of space. It'll happen one of these days.

There's NO crying in baseball...

Ok, so these different sayings kept running through my head last night.
-If life is like baseball and there's no crying in baseball....this girl can't play
-If there's no crying in baseball then it's a good thing:
1.I'm not playing
2.the game is over
3.life's not a baseball game.

Any preferences as to which one sounds better? I put one on my facebook profile. Some of you may not know what the fascination is. Well, for one thing, I love that movie quote and the other is it was a pretty up then down week.

I started off last week enjoying some time with family and seeing my new niece, Ruby (even if it was just for a few minutes). One of my remaining grandpas died on Wednesday so I took Saturday off to go to the funeral in Riverton, UT. I had to be back to work on Sunday, so it was one of those "fun" quick trips. I'm glad I was able to go. I am also no longer going to be giving updates on my dating life with Derek. Ahhhh, the fun of ending a relationship! I know many of you have gone through this many times and now I know how much is SUCKS! I hope that I don't have to do this many more times. I think I have surprised a few people at how well I am doing. I am trying to be "real mature". We'll see how well that works for me! haha We are going to try to be friends. We'll see how that works too. There's no anger.....just sadness.

I'll do a much better update after my CA Birds come to visit! I'm so excited!!!
