FAB Friday!!

There are so many reasons why this Friday is Fab.

~ Well for starters... it's Friday... that's all that needs to be said really.

~ I just had a honey biscuit from Chik-fil-A.
~ I am drinking a Coca Cola Classic
(It's the simple things, right??)

~ We are going to eat at Walker's for Kendol's mother's birthday tonight. YUM.
Happy Happy Birthday Mrs. Lucy!!!!!!
(It's starting to worry me how much I talk about food)

~ I wore a long dress to work today and I feel like I'm in my pajamas. Love it!

~ Our friends Katie and Chris spent the night last night. I love friend time :)

(I don't so much love taking them to the airport at 6 a.m. ha!)

(I don't function that early)

~ I'm listening to a little Johnny Cash to get me through the day.

~ It's finally starting to feel a little like fall around here!! and the leaves are starting to change colors... YIPPPEEE!! That's my favorite.

~ O and I ran across this on Pinterest earlier. Glitter Pumpkin.. Yes, please!! Mallory and I decided we will be having a "Pumpkin Glittering" party instead of a "Pumpkins Carving" party.

There is still time to put in your two cents on my hair do options ha!
Go Dawgs! Beat the Dogs!

~ Speaking of Fab. Remember my give away from last week. The jewelry? Well Mary Kathryn is doing a F.A.B Friday give away this Friday and the next three. All you have to do is "like" f.a.b. Jewelryon facebook!!

And I just wanted to share a few pictures from our dinner cruise last night on the "Friendship" Boat at the Rez!!

The sunset view from the boat!

Ben was in such a hurry to get home in time for the cruise,
that he drove his bucket truck home.
Mary Kathryn and I took it upon ourselves to climb on in!!
I can now mark that off my list of things to do in life.
(there is not really a list)

O and p.s.!! I don't know if I have officially made the announcement on here. But these two are having baby!! WOOHOO!! Kaitlyn will be a big sister :)

"Hair"y Situation

ok... I'm having a hair emergency!! Well, not really, but whatever.

I'm just bored.

Anywho. My hair is strait... thin...dark brown... semi short.. always has been. It does not poof.. there is no swoop of the bangs...

I need a change!!!

Everyone says to go darker cause it's winter... I've always had dark hair. I want to go lighter. Is that stupid?

This is where you come in. I need help....BAD... am I crazy to want to lighten my hair? How light do i do if I do it? Will I look crazy or will it be the best decision I've ever made? I mean I can't look that bad with lighter hair, both of my sisters are blonde. I need your input and past experiences.

I had always been completely against the dying of the ole hair, but when "age" set in, I had no choice. Yes, that means I have grey hair... Yes, I am only 26. And with dark hair they show up way worse, it had to be done. You know most people have panic attacks over cutting their hair, mine is coloring it. Chop it off all you want to. The less for me to fool with the better ha. Why am I scared of something that can immediately be fixed by simply dying it back dark ha?

So it's that time again. I go on Saturday morning to see Anna Catherine. P.S. if you live in the Brandon/Rez area she is must!! Go see her :)

This is what I love.. This color and cut. The back of the hair color... I could never be as blonde as the front bangs I don't think ha.

Needless to say, we were all about to freakin pop!! It was the perfect meal, in my opinion. So delicious! Annddd... My mother made two homemade dipping sauces for the fried chicken. I will be posting these recipes soon. They are both simple and delicious.
