By the way...

I am seriously offended by the poll results concerning my hair color. Ok not really offended but slightly surprised. I mean, I thought most people would say "somewhere in between".  But 90% of you said I look best as a brunette.  Even my husband said brown hair makes me look "older" (what does that even mean??).

There is, of course, the slight chance that my Mom voted 9 times for brown because she has always maintained that I look better as a brunette...

But I will take your advice, and maybe start heading back in the direction of brunette.  It IS cheaper...

For now, I'm going to chill in my "between" state.  I like the highlights, but it's only on the top layer, and I think it looks cool.


You can see the bottom half of my hair really well in this pic. Still brown!

As the weather gets colder, and Joey keeps coming up with new things we HAVE TO HAVE RIGHT NOW, I'll probably head back to my brown state. 

Don't worry, I'll keep you posted ;)

Happy Halloween!

WOW It has been a while! And before I sincerely apologize, let me just riddle you with excuses.
1. We went on a cruise for an entire week
2. When we got back I had 6 hours of dance rehearsal (oh yeah, I joined a company!)
3. This week I was out of the office/extremely busy for the part where I was actually IN the office.

So now that I'm done making excuses, let's move onto why I'm at home on a Saturday night. Totally called myself out right there. Pathetic.  Truth is, we were so busy today, I'm not completely upset that I'm at home tonight. Although I really do wish I could've made it to my bff's Halloween Party.  But the weather seemed to have other plans. And if you are anywhere on the eastern seaboard, you'll notice it's snowing/sleeting/freezing raining/justplaincold.  So there goes that.  So we're flipping between Twilight and Toy Story 3 and drinking Coors Light. MAN we are so classy I can't stand it.

Re-winding slightly so I can talk about the dance thing.  There is a local dance company right here in Woodbridge- and I decided to audition for their winter show.  After the audition I didn't hear anything for almost 2 weeks. I was convinced I didn't make it. I even had a DREAM that I didn't make it. That's how certain I was. And then I got the e-mail that said "Congratulations! You are part of 2 pieces and you are going to have 6 hour rehearsals and not be able to walk for an entire week!" Actually.... it just said 'Congratulations'. But you can figure out the rest/why I've been feeling sorry for myself all week. Just yesterday I made it up and down the stairs for the first time without grasping the railings for dear life..........

Such a long update, I know. Now where are those cruise pictures?? Most of you have probably already seen them on Facebook... but here are a few of my favorites.  Let me recap our weeklong cruise by saying:

We had a great time. The weather wasn't so spectacular...so...we drank. Alot.

Guys. We re-made the "I'm on a Boat" video. It's AWESOME. Be prepared. I'll share the link.

Our entire crew on embarkation. BEFORE we embarassed ourselves.

Just a few friends that couldnt make it. Funny story- I was approached by a lady with her friend-on-a-stick to take a picture with my overly priced drink-in-a-discoball. And I whipped out these little babies and we all died laughing. The end.

This is the only appropriate picture from Senor Frogs. OK kidding but wow what a classy place...

Do we know these girls? Nope.

I know! Let's illegally climb onto the lifeboat pavilion. What a great idea.

Well. I'm sure you're as anxious as I am to see what Amanda comes up with in terms of the "I'm on a Boat" video.  IF you don't know what I'm talking about, A) I can't be your friend and B) click here.

I really hope you forgive me for sucking. I'm not sure I even forgive myself. But anyway... it's been a long day of car-fixing (who waits until 1 day before their registration expires to realize they need an emissions test, fails the test, and decides to make her husband fix her car?? me.), value city furniture shopping (new kitchen table!), kohls shopping (Joey desparately needed a couple suits for work), and pumpkin carving. 

I hope everybody has a HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!!

Do you care about my hair?

I’ve reached that point, that every girl reaches, where I’m kind of tired of my highlights, but I’m not sure which direction to take.  So I’ve turned to my blog followers for advice. This proved interesting (and very informative!) with the whole DirecTV/FIOS thing, so I’m trying it again.

Vote on my poll or leave me a comment. And be nice!!

Do you prefer me as a blonde?

A Brunette?

 

Somewhere in between?

 

Should I try another color? (ha)

I’m open to all suggestions. 

One Year

Well, we made it through ONE year of marriage! A lot has happened in the past year, but the biggest accomplishment is that we managed to buy a house, and that is where we have spent our anniversary today.  We are really looking forward to our upcoming cruise where we will again have the excuse to celebrate one year of marriage.

This time, one year ago, we had just been pronounced husband and wife at 4:36pm.  At this time, we were taking pictures with the photographers.  So here is a little snapshot of what we were doing at this very moment, one year ago:

Without getting too mushy, I'm so lucky to have married my bestest friend and I'm so excited to see what the years have in store for us.  Hopefully I will be able to maintain this blog so that you all can follow along on our adventures.

And now, back to laundry.  I hope everyone is enjoying their 3-day weekend!

Pinterest, Fall and Steps to Recovery

Oh yes, I've jumped on that bandwagon. Too bad I have no idea what I am doing. Like many, I don’t understand it at all but at the same time, it's kind of fun to look at pictures of random things...

Like Fall. Autumn. My favorite time of year.  Just looking at these pictures makes me happy.

Just need to get the supplies and this is DONE!

Sigghhhhhhh

I can feel the crunch of the leaves...

An outfit I would buy if I had money

SRSLY want to make these

Also, I'm taking some steps towards blog recovery.

1. I took out my camera last night and charged the battery, so I can take more pictures of the house this weekend. Hooray for updates!

2. Our 1 year wedding anniversary is on MONDAY, which means there will definitely be a post for that!

3. Our cruise is fast approaching, which means I'm going to have to pre-write some posts.

Thanks for sticking with me through this little dry spell. I promise to become less busy and more bloggy!
