Another day .. another storm!

So today I woke up at 3.30AM. Then I managed to sleep a bit more, woke up at 6.30AM and lazed in bed until it was time to wake up and face the world. Now, can you just imagine my surprise when CBU had yet ANOTHER storm day?! Well .. I curled right back up in my bed and watched Big Bang Theory and did absolutely nothing productive.

So then, I had a hair appointment at 1PM. It was a big mix up, but the end result is that I managed to get a new hair color and cut. It is still styled hairdresser way, have to let the dye sit in my skull for a day or something before I can wash it. The hairdresser was shocked that I don't shampoo my hair, then again that shocks a lot of people. I like to color, whether or not I'll like the cut will depend on when I wash and style it myself. All I know is that I do not like it as much as Erin. Please, come back to me ahaha finding a new hairdresser is exhausting.

Basically, that was my entire day. I also took a bunch of photos for my 365 and ended up with something decent but not really awesome. I'm going to use it anyway though for 2 major reasons:
1. I love the idea behind it
2. I have to write a paper this evening

So, a short short life update. Again for 2 reasons:
1. I have to write a paper this evening
2. I am getting sick so I want to finish early so I can sleep!

Can you believe it's day 6 of this project already?! Only 349 to go .. that's practically like I'm halfway finished!! So, here we go. Smoke from incense. It was my first attempt and I was REALLY rushed. I'm going to redo this one, only pick a better shooting location and dedicate more time to it.

Good day!

So it's Tuesday .. late night. It was a good day ..I went to lab, did a noise AND dust lab all in one and it was thrilling. School was canceled at 2.30 and it took us to 2.50 to finish our lab. So twenty minutes longer at that freaking school than need be! However, after that I hit up the gym. Ran 2 miles .. realized I messed up my knee at yoga last night (I knew I was never meant to be zen!) and so had to stop. Rocked the bosu ball and then did some abs compliments of having P90X memorized.

The afternoon / evening was GORGEOUS. So nice out with lots of snow .. I was about as happy as you can be in this season! Garret FINISHED my light box and it is awesome. He's going to bring it to me tomorrow ... I will then spend WAY too much time playing with it. So, after playing with it tonight, we did dinner, movie and tea. Boston Pizza for pasta was delicious. So delicious that I definitely ate too much. Then we decorated a heart for Heart& Stroke Foundation and headed off to cheap movie night! We saw The Mechanic - about a super specialized assassin. It was very predictable but I am not complaining. I picked the last few movies, plus Garret paid!

After a late tea, we drove around in the Jeep and then I tried to get a cool photo of the Jeep spraying snow while turning ..however I definitely need to work on my nighttime photography because it all sucked. So, we gave up on that idea and I took a scenic shot. It didn't turn out the best, so I'm hoping a little photoshop will save it! After taking my photo, Garret wanted to go to sleep so he did. And I drove home .. now I'm curled up with my doggy and trying to pretend I'm not getting sick. It's really just not working out for me. I can feel that I'm going to lose my voice.

The one thing that beats out a shitty 365 and getting sick?! NEW HAIR TOMORROW! I still have no idea what I'm going to do with it ..so fingers crossed that it works out. I am cautiously optimistic. So many bad haircuts, so little time.
So, here is Day Five of 365! Only 360 left to go .. ps sorry tonight's also isn't that good. I need to really stop doing these last minute and in a hurry. Oh well.

I actually hate titles so much I forgot to give this post one!

Soo today is a Monday. If I were a celebrity and someone else was writing this blog about me, I bet the post would be immensely more entertaining than the one you're about to read. If I were a celebrity, I would have attended the SAG awards last night, perhaps won something or worn something truly righteous. Instead, I didn't do any of that so thumbs up for sticking with me .. especially to my one follower;)
Monday Monday Monday .. today I had a great day. I went to my classes and they were thrilling. Foodborne was once again the highlight of the day, with a fantastic discussion on explosive diarrhea. So thanks for that, Bernie. Along with the explosive diarrhea, although completely unrelated I assure you, was a photo of 2 people from the society serving food and being bad examples of it and then the next slide? A photo of me ..doing yoga. What up, warrior 1 pose? So delightful to see yourself looking foolish up on the screen ahha Bernie is just lucky that I have a sense of humor!

Next was the gym. Where I ran 5k and then worked on my next project: bosu ball. It is my mission to bring this thing to popularity and when I get a big following / book deal, it will be awesome to see that happen. Hahaha so this is what I did this afternoon:
1. 10 lunges per side
2. Hop up, squat twice, hop down. 10 times.
3. Running on the bosu ball (hard to explain, but amazing for increasing speed for runs.) 2x25
4. Hop on, hop off to the other side, turn and repeat. 15 times
5. Situps on the ball, 15 times.

Was so much fun .. I'm going to make a list tonight and make sure to bring it tomorrow. I'm pretty sure the 2 girls also in the room with me thought I was completely mental, but I can't even be bothered caring. I LOVE these things and I am in way better shape than them anyway ;)

Next on the agenda was a visit to the barns, where I chatted with Patricia and Valerie and a girl named Emily. It was nice to see some familiar faces (both horse and people) but crazy how much changeover that place has seen! I stayed for about 90 minutes and then all feeling in my limbs, and especially toes, had left me so it was time to pack up and go home. Once I got home, I had a delicious chicken breast and some rice ..followed by a healthy bag of popcorn. Also to be eaten this fine evening: yogurt, strawberries, a large cup of tea to warm me up and perhaps some crackers and peanut butter? I like to eat ..sue me.

Also, I will spend the better part of the evening reading over my notes for anatomy& physiology while wishing for the snowstorm to actually arrive on Wednesday. Which will create yet another storm day and I will rejoice. For now, it's -20 out and that is very cold. Meaning the rejoicing is minimal and mostly centered around the fact that I am not at work right now and am instead curled up in my bed in pajamas! Now, if only that cup of tea would magically appear in my hand ..hmm
