hello blog.

I guess i will update you in my life as of lately.

March 11-21st we went to NC, it was better than I could even describe being able to see my parents after so long.

We also saw Darin's ENTIRE family including the new bebe twins Nathan and Eleanor.

we got to travel to the beach and we got to see my grandparents as well. all in a ll a very good 10 days.

While visiting NC my little snuggle boi, Chance ate a sock and it had to be surgically removed... costing us a small fortune.... which may postpone our move back east a little longer, but that's what happens I suppose.

I did NOT want to come home from our trip however. I wanted to teleport our furniture clothes dogs etc etc and never come back. but unfortunately no one has invented anything to allow me to do that yet.

I got my hair.. fixed and when I got home from NC i couldn't take it anymore so I chopped myself some bangseys.

March madness seems to have taken over the TV, but sadly My beloved Tar Heels lost to Kentucky (boooo..) but at least they lasted longer than the Dukey Blue devs. ( ha ha Darin did not like that... We are a house divided). Darin and I do agree that this years tournament has been an interesting one, LOTS of upsets, which is just as fun as having your team win.

being home with the pups is nice.. and getting back into the swing of things as well, back to my smoothies and my P90X.

not too much is new as you can see... it feels like things are new but when I sit and try to write it all out it really doesn't add up to much of anything. Ahh, oh well. Nothing life changing has happened to these here Georges as of yet, but I will inform you when the time comes.

well that's another another random blabble for me.

cheesey song alert

I was sitting at work today and this lovely came on the radio, and it reminded me how much I lurve cheesey 80s songs.

such a good tune, just what I needed today.

OHHHH the irony

So, If you didn't already know Darin and I are moving back east in June annnnd we are headed to NC for a visit this Friday, so other than bills that need to be paid and groceries that need to be bought... our money goes into a lovely little thing called savings... BUT I needed my hair done, so in a gesture to save money and be frugal I decide to give back to the educational community of hair I was once a part of and go to the Aveda institute in Provo to get my hair highlighted ... no big deal considering a don't have a SET stylist and usually bounce around as it is ( I just haven't found someone who does it for me 100% out here ... picky, picky,picky...)! Well, I distinctly remember telling the future professional ( stylist) and the Learning leader ( teacher) That I wanted "A cool/ beigey blond" and proceeded to show them pictures of hair I liked. I also said "No Gold, golden blond = BAD for my complexion" .. well friends, to make a LONG ( 5 hours long to be exact) story short, I got a glorified version of what I already had and nothing close to what I asked for. So the joke was on me that day instead of being frugal and getting a good deal on a usually expensive venture I now have to get my hair redone and it will end up costing me MORE than what I would have paid to begin with had I gone to a non school salon. what a bust.

disclosure:

The girl who did my hair at the school was very sweet and did a good job, I fully blame the learning leader for choosing to tell the student to use a color that lifts and deposits instead of using lightener... you just cant get that to that level of a cool Blondy blond without it... you suck learning leader!

hmm... hopefully the next person gets it right...
