1. The weather here has been crazy. I'll wake up to it pouring rain, and write off any sort of outdoor running for the next few days. A few hours later it will be sunny, and a little too warm. But, I've already lost that mental focus. That, and it's hard enough to motivate myself to run after work when it's already dark out. My favorite place to run is a hilly trail about 10 minutes from my office. The only lights out there are in the parking lot. So, it's off limits after work until Spring progresses enough. Boo.
2. I always forget how gross I feel after eating straight carbs for breakfast. My body loves protein way more than carbs. My brother (we work together) brought in bagels for the office. I was hungry. Well, sort of. Mostly they just looked really fresh. So I ate one. And now I feel a little ill and spacy. I need a good slab of meat, man. This is the same reason I can't eat large amounts of sugar without feeling gross I think. Something about my metabolic type? Or is that mumbo jumbo. Anyway, carb coma over here. Good thing it's a slow day.
3. Bangs. My bangs. (She bangs?) I wish I could wave a wand and stop them from growing. I am cheap, so I basically refuse to go to a hair salon and get them trimmed (the friend who gave me bangs lives in Canada, so it would be pretty hard to hit her up for a trim). This means I trim them myself, once they get to that awful "stabbing me in the eyes" length. Don't get me wrong. I love them. They are a great look for me, even if they do get greasy like 10 hours after I was them. Bastards. But, on top of being cheap, I'm also terrible at cutting hair. So, every trim I give myself is kind of awful. Once it grows out (like four days later) it's fine. I think part of the problem is I try to cut straight across, sort of. At least it's always even, and I usually don't chop it too short. But, it's still hard. And, the tips of the hair I'm cutting pretty much always fall in my eyes. Bastards. So, it's time for a bangs trim. Maybe this time I'll try to feather them.

ReplyDeleteI used to wax my own eyebrows. Until that fateful big date on new year's eve, when I waxed 'em right off, except for one little line of individual hairs. That year my new year's resolution? Don't ever wax your own eyebrows again, freak.
ReplyDeleteThen I got 'em lazered
Now that's a resolution that I bet was pretty easy to keep.
ReplyDeleteHow bad did the lazering hurt?
Thanks for checking out my blog Rose!
ReplyDeleteI totally have the bangs dilemma! I used to have the straight across, but have been growing them out due to pure laziness.
I'm really tempted to grow my out, out of laziness, but I do like them. Most of the time. And I've only had then (This time around) for a few months. Plus, besides the whole growing thing, they're really easy to manage.
ReplyDeleteThis is way late, especially because you don't have bangs now. Here's how I trim mine:
ReplyDelete1. I bought a pair of scissors ($10) from Sally's Beauty Supply
2. On dry hair, I determine the length. Using a fine-tooth comb, comb down slightly longer than you want the bangs to be (better to cut less and trim more later)
3. Angling the scissors up, or diagonal, begin trimming across the line of the comb
4. Repeatedly check your progress
5. If it fails, resort to a headband
6. Or a bottle of wine, if that's your thing
