Growing Hair

Well I now have about 3 inches of donateable hair. Whoo Hoo!
I have been having frustration with my bangs. They just are not doing anything. I was ready to chop them off. (you know like you used to when you were 5.) I thought better of this and decided to be patient. It has been very hard. Thankfully I have bobby pins and barrets to keep my vision clear. And in an effort to help me from cutting my hair I bought a shampoo to help my hair be strong and less damaged. I don't know if it has worked at all, but it has soothed my ego for a little while. I just have to keep telling my self that in a year I can have all the nasty damaged stuff cut off and a nice haircut. I am really looking forward to this. REALLY looking forward to it. This will be the longest time I have gone without doing anything to my hair since Eliza started hair school. I just have to forget that I have hair and the time will pass by quicker....

Tagged

So I guess people want to know me better, so here we go.....
Rules: A - People who are tagged need to post these rules and 8 random habits, facts, quirks about themselves. B - At the end of the post you need to choose 8 people to get tagged and list their names.
1. I was married in Las Vegas. After dating Justin for almost 3 weeks we drove to Vegas and got married. It was crazy and Don't ever do it! I am very happy to be married to him. We compliment each other very well. And we were sealed in the Timp. temple this year. It was FAB!
2. I LOVE cooking! Sorry I haven't posted any recipes. I update the blog when I am at work. All the recipes I use are at home. I will fix this soon.
3. I have a scar on my tongue. When I had braces My tongue got got on this thing on the roof of my mouth and I ripped a chunk out of my tongue.
4. I am really scared of spiders, and the tower of terror. Really I am.
5. I have worked at the same place for like 5 years on and off. I really have enjoyed working at a school. The one thing I have learned over the years is that no body reads, even when they are told they need to read something, and this also applies to parents. I have made it a point to be more observant and read things.
6. I can actually run two miles now! Thanks to a great husband who helps to push me.
7. I don't touch type. I really have tried learning. I just type faster the way that I type.
8. I love cheese more than chocolate. This has happened this year. Justin and I have decided to treat ourselves once a month to a new kind of cheese. This month we bought some fetta. I am going to make a Greek Pizza with it. I am super excited! I think I like Cheese more because there is more variety and I think it is just a bit more versital that chocolate. Chocolate is just number 2 now. No longer #1.
I tag Ariel, Ashley, Heather, Tamra & who ever else would like to be tagged.

This is my favorite picture Justin has taken for his photography class. I really like the filter he used to get the sharp contrast.

Men in Cars

So as I have been walking and riding my bike to work I have noticed something.

About 10% of the male population in cars cat call.
I have come to two conclusions as to why they do it:

#1 They think you are attractive (does anyone anymore to respond to that archaic form of finding a mate?)
#2 They are real dill holes and are looking to hurt you: buy shouting as loud as they can from their cars, causing you to jump, or swerve.

I think I have shown great restraint in not giving them certain hand signals to express how I feel about what they have just done. I could really get hurt, I could trip and fall I could swerve into traffic... Yeah that is really funny...
Also I found it very interesting that EVERY ONE of the cars that has done this has been a truck.

Curry

Curry is fabulous stuff. So far I have love every kind of curry from around the world.
Thai and Indian happen to be my favorite.
If you are looking for a warm winter dish that will warm you inside out, check out curry. My favorite places right now to get it are Bombay house and Bancock Grill (try the pumpkin curry there it is the best!)
If you aren't looking to spend money check out the internet. There are like a million recipes, ranging from hard to easy. Most of the ingredients you can pick up at your grocery store.
I love curry!
Update: I went to the sunflower market last night and if you are looking for thai basil, kamfur lime leaves, galangal ginger and other things for an authentic thai curry you can pick them up there! I ma super excited! Also the check out clerk said that the curry pastes they have are really good. I am looking forward to trying them too! Also the good kind of coconut milk is on sale for 99 cents a can. That is a great deal!
