Randoms

missing my dark hair. thinking of going back. decisions, decisions. glasses are prescription.

- So this week, my mom is moving into her new condo, my sister, her husband+kids are moving into my moms old house, and that same sisters husbands parents are moving into a house right behind my moms old house. The same house that one of my good friends grew up in and where I spent a lot of time. I promise it's not as confusing as it sounds. Nor are we all hillbillies. 

- I hate cooking. Do not enjoy it. I hate it almost as much as I hate cleaning almost as much as I hate anything else that remotely has to do with being a housewife. Give me a cook, a cleaner and a nanny and I'll be one happy SAHM.

- It's getting colder and the mountains are starting to get snow. Which means my sister and I will be strapping on our snowboards soon and performing our pre-mountain rituals. I wish I could tell you what they are, but then I'd have the kill you. 

- "Money can't buy happiness" is probably the most untrue statement of all time. I'm no richie rich but the pair of boots I just scored made me extremely happy. So. there. 

- I'm thinking of changing up Gunners hairstyle. The fauxhawk was cute at first but now it seems every little 4 year old is sporting the same look. We shall see at his next hair appointment...

- I often quote Dr. Phil. Yes, I realize this does not make me look more smart. (ha)

- I am still undecided on what I want to be for Halloween. In case you didn't know, I LOVE Halloween. You can see my past getups here

Have a good weekend friends.

  8. I LOVE the dark hair! It's fall, the dark hair always calls to you in the fall. And I totally can't decide on a costume this year either...but I blame the Germans and their ridiculously cheap looking excuses for costumes. Think bumble bee made out of a glorified trash bag and felt. Like, there are almost no words.

  13. I like your dark hair too. I love it when my hair is dark for the fall season.. something about being blonde in the summer & darker in the winter makes sense. I too want a cook, nanny & maid. I'd be one happy SAHW *not a mom yet.. so I can't use SAHM* So why the Nanny? Because B just just had knee surgery. That is a lot of moving around & I want to learn how to snowboard.. first I need to live around snow. Hmm.

  14. I dislike cooking but love cleaning- as long as the kids aren't home- which is never- so I hate cleaning too!

  15. I like you blonde...but I feel like I prefer most people blonde (and every time I go back to my own natural dark brunette...I regret it 2 days later). Halloween is also my favvvvvvvvoriteeeeeeee. Have a good weekend!

  16. Love, Love the dark hair and those glasses look pretty Hot too! I hate cooking and cleaning too and I am not a SAHM but if I had a cook, cleaner and nanny I would become one real quick....sounds like a sweet deal! Gunner's hair is kick a** but I hear ya, you can find a new cooler hairstyle for that kid....he will look cute sporting anything!

  17. Oh i love your dark hair- and your light too! I have been struggling with the same "problem" too - do I want to go Chocolate or be blonde a bit longer... I think i'm going to do blonde at my appt tomorrow and then go dark.

    Love the snowboarding- woot! I can't wait to go skiing myself! and the moving stories are hilarious- everyone you love is so close!

  18. I like the dark hair! But I guess my own dark hair makes me biased.

  19. I used to hate cooking too but now I find tons of recipes on Pinterest! My main requirement is that they have about 5 ingredients...or less. I'm lazy!

  20. THIS is my new life quote!!

    I hate cooking. Do not enjoy it. I hate it almost as much as I hate cleaning almost as much as I hate anything else that remotely has to do with being a housewife. Give me a cook, a cleaner and a nanny and I'll be one happy SAHM.

  22. Haha! I loved every last costume! We don't do Halloween much here. It's basically just a few parties where you get to wear your costumes if you wish and that's that. We don't trust people here to go trick or treating!

    Have a great weekend doll!

  24. Tell us your ritual! Haha jk! I can't wait until it starts snowing in Arizona (yes it snows here too lol) so I can start snowboarding. The best sport ever. Always enjoy reading your posts, even the random ones - and by the way, it's totally fine if you quote Dr. Phil. I do it sometimes too.

    Here's a cool giveaway I'm doing, Blog Milk Giveaway, if any of your readers are interested.

    P.S. The dark hair looks great! I think you should go for it!

  26. Your blog haters are going to love bullet #2!! And yes! I am so excited it is finally time to get on with this move. You will see, you will come to love the idea. ;) especially when your boys have more room to play, and we can still have a place to swim.
