Get out of this small town (read all 2 entries…)

Hard but necessary... 3 years ago

I love my hometown in so many ways. Perfect size, PERFECT weather (was 59 degrees on my way to work this morning…in JULY!). But the smallness of it all (no good restaurants, shopping, and SMALL MINDED people) just brings me down. I really do HAVE to get out soon. But where to go???

give being a brunette a try

Totally worth it. 3 years ago

I couldn’t stop wondering so last year I did it. Results were at first WAY TOO DARK! But after it lightened up, I really liked it. Nice contrast with my blue eyes and it made my thin (naturally blonde) hair look voluminous. Alas however, my family HATED it. At least once a day someone would dis it, which pretty soon, got old.

embarrassed... 3 years ago

that I even put this on here because I haven’t given it ONE SECOND of thought since I did! But now that I’ve reminded myself I’m going to TRY!!! DAMN YOU DELICIOUS CRUSTY WHITE BREAD! You are my nemesis! You and cold cereal. And muffins…big fat homemade blueberry ones.
