Friday

Good morning!

I am very sore from all the work on the house yesterday, but I had an absolute blast (even during the unexpected hiccups.)  We got a ton done.

Makes me hate coming to my office job that much more. 

TGIF!

Re: Friday

  • Amen TGIF! 

    I feel like baking something.

  • Anyone else under 30 and starting to go grey?  I've got what kind of looks like a head band of grey hairs littering my head.  When I pull back my hair, I've got quite a few at my temples too.  Thanks mom.

    I'm slightly over 30, but yeah it started in my mid 20's.  :(  I've heard pregnancy can make it worse.  (don't know if that is true, but it sure seems that way right now).  

    On a similar note, does anyone know how long you can stretch it between lowlight/high lights?

    Do you get highlights or anything? That has helped me. I am the same as you - in the front and temple area. Ugh

    Maybe 6 weeks or a lil more. Or maybe when you start showing some regrowth? Thats when I notice and try to get in

    Not at the moment. It's not bad enough for me to color it, yet.

    Is this your house? What were the unexpected hiccups?

    It sounds like you guys are total pros at home improvement/demo work. I'm impressed. We know absolutely nothing, which is why we'd be screwed if we ever bought a house.

  • I just spent a large amt of money on a new camera body and lens this week - the most I have ever spent on "fun" stuff for myself.  Surprisingly it was DH's encouragement that made me hit buy.

    Soooo excited!!

    Not my house, we just bought a second investment property on Wednesday.  And since we hadn't been in it for about a month, and weren't there for the final walk through (our realtor went through it real quick to look for obvious damage), we got a little surprise in 2 of the closests and one bedroom.  Water was leaking in the house.  But after removing paneling and siding, it looks like it's going to be a easy fix.  Whew. 

    And we are not pros at all...haha.  But I'm learning and becoming very hands on so that hopefully I will know a lot some day.  I would seriously love to be a flipper.

    My friends think i am nuts because I am not a pro photographer nor do I plan to become one, but I LOVE photography.  Really it's a small price to pay to make me incredibly happy, right ;)
