Still

Still recovering from my first 5K. (Ran last Friday - finished in 38 mins, will post pics soon!) Felt like I got hit by a bus for a good three days post-race. Sheesh.

Still recovering from being scared silly after watching two (2!) scary back-to-back Friday night. Am now in the habit of locking my bedroom door - NEVER used to do that. What? I get claustrophobic, okay?

Still happy I ate less than five (5!) pieces of Halloween candy this year. I just decided not to buy any.

Still excited about Christmas present from Andy that I found out about and completely spoiled. By complete mistake, I discovered he bought me Wii Fit, so we popped it open this weekend and I realized I'm in pretty decent shape. However, my BMI is borderline normal/overweight, and my Mii is quite chubby, based on my weight. Need to work on that.

Still laughing about our recent project for Heather, our friend diagnosed with breast cancer. Check out this video (first in a series of 12) we released on Friday.

Still (although I have only told Andy) contemplating doing this to my hair at my appointment this Saturday.



Question: Is it okay to cut one's hair this short, if one has an extra 15 pounds to lose, and one's body shape isn't quite as pixie-ish as it was the last time one had such a haircut? Audrey is tiny, and she really pulls this off. Sigh. I used to pull this haircut off, but now I wonder if I'm not thin enough. Thoughts?

Still negotiating salary for my new job. What? You didn't know I got a new job? I was offered a permanent position last week with Avaya as a Curriculum Manager. It will be hard, super busy, and have crazy hours, but better pay. And 100% work from home. Good or bad? To be determined.

Still looking for a house. One that's not completely trashed because it was foreclosed on, preferably.

Still wishing I lived in Boulder, after spending a day there with Lara and Megan when they came to visit. Hippies dancing in the city center, anyone?

Still wishing Monday was already over and I could watch Chuck and Heroes.

I vote for that haircut and still very proud that you could run a 5k and anyone that likes to watch scary movies is crazy, and congrats on the candy I did not do as good, and the house hunting has always been a hard thing, and remember that your Dad was kind of a hippie :) and look where he lives now.

Congrats on the 5K! I hate, hate, hate scary movies. I freak out for weeks after watching one. You look really great with short hair - remember London? I don't think one needs to be a pixie to look good in short hair. It's all about face shape. And you can totally pull it off.

Cut it! Cut it! Cut it! Then I can live my life through you since I would so love to do that but am concered it may be an afro instead of a pixie.

What scary movies? Please don't say Dark Water. That was the end for me. Done. No more scary movies. I was disturbed for months and still am if I ponder it for too long.

Sorry to tell you this although by now you know, because of the STUPID SNL election show (over it) no Chuck tonight.

Boo Hiss!

Congrats on the 5K by the way.

DO the haircut. It will look good on you. I always think your hair looks good. :o)

Way to go on the 5K and the candy control! I bought some, then we were unexpectedly out of town for Halloween. Does the food bank accept peanut butter cups...?

Congrats on the 5K.. way to go!!! As for the haircut.. I will be a small voice of reason.. I cut mine short.. not that short, but short and I loved it for a few weeks, and then I started the growing out process.. and now I wish I hadn't.. not that you wouldn't look great.. but giving up the ponytails is a big thing!!! I also have to laugh at the wii fit.. we love it here.. my kids even love it..good times!!

Very valid point - that last one. The growing out part stinks. Every other part of short hair is wonderful!

Congrats on the run - you deserve something fabulous for that!

Totally cut your hair. Your hair was so cute when you had it short in Columbus. I got your blog from Kamiko's. We are still in Vegas--wanting to move but still looking for the job to move us. Check out our blog www.lowerfam.blogspot.com. We just went to columbus a few weeks ago and totally miss all the good times in German Village.--Jamie
