Day 8: Hair

Well, friends, this bronchitis is officially kicking my butt. So this post is going to be short and to the point. Disclaimer: I will be venting!

I'm getting my hair done next week! So excited about that. :) But one of the things I enjoy about being single is the fact that I no longer have someone telling me how much they don't like my hair. I mean, really? Is it your hair? No. So do you have a say in what I do to it? No. Do I care what you think? No.

I really wish I could have learned to say that but I didn't. Now I realize that if you can't love me even though my hair is not precisely what you think it should be, well then you are not worth my time.

While looks are important, true beauty is on the inside. So whether my hair is blonde, red, black or brunette, it really should not matter because if someone loves me then they won't really care.

This is the end of my venting session. Thank you for listening :) But seriously, people. No one enjoys getting their hair done, being excited about it, and then having some jerk tell them it's not good enough. Am I right or am I right?

Day 7: Continued

Dear Future Husband,

Do you watch the Bachelor? If you do, that is an easy 10 points. :) Just kidding! I wonder what shows you do watch and why you watch them. I hope we will be able to find shows to enjoy together. I'm still sick but I am taking medicine so I hope I feel better soon. Love you always :)

Day 7: Bachelor

Confession time! I love The Bachelor. I don't care what anyone else says. It is seriously my favorite show on ABC. I got to watch the season premiere tonight! My whole family watched it with me and a few times I had to "shush" my dad because he kept analyzing the show.

Anyways, I really really really love this show. I also love the Bachelorette. Since I don't have a TV at school I watch it online, usually on Wednesdays. I really look forward to it each week and it sort of like my guilty pleasure.

What intrigues me most about this season is Brad Womack. Not only is he pretty decent looking, his story also interests me. He was on the Bachelor three years ago, but he left the two woman and did not pick either of them. In his three years until now, he has been seeing a therapist for his issues and has really tried to become a better man.

I really think he is sincere and has really changed. A lot of people probably think he is a fraud, but I honestly think he definitely deserves a second chance to find love. There are a few girls on the show that I think are really cute and sweet and I can't wait to see what happens :)

Also, I might be considering going on the show...what do you think? ;)

Day 6: Continued

Dear Future Husband,

All I have to say is that you better bring your A-game if you plan on playing Kinect with my family! :) We have lots of fun and I really hope you have a great family who can just join in with us, even if it is something silly. Laughing is one of my favorite things to do and I really hope you have a wonderful, joyful sense of humor.

Love you! :)

Day 6: Kinect

Alright, friends. Tonight's post is not going to be that inspirational in the sense that it is really an jaw-dropping, radical topic or anything. However, it is very close to my heart you could say, and therefore I want to share it with you.

I LOVE KINECT.

Crazy, right?! First of all, the fact that a gaming system like Kinect is available is pretty cool. I don't know what kind of work went into making it but I bet it was pretty hard to design. Enough with the nerd stuff.

What I really love about the Kinect is how much fun my family had playing it tonight. From beach volleyball to three rounds of bowling, lots of laughs were had and a lot of sore losers had their share of venting. (Not me, though. I lose gracefully :)

I seriously loved playing with my family tonight. My parents, brother, and sister-in-law are my best friends. Even though I am totally sick and my throat is killing me, I would not trade a night like this for the world. It was fabulous. And when I say fabulous, I mean, amazing.

I hope you all have great families who you can share moments like these with. :)

Goodnight, friends. I have a date with NyQuill.

Day 5: Continued

Dear Future Husband,

I sure hope you know how to play doctor and/or are a doctor because this girl seems to always get sick! :)

Love you.

Day 5: Cold

Happy New Year to me! I woke up this morning sick and I feel like poo :( So needless to say I have not really had any inspiration today. Which makes me sad because I feel like I would rather write something great instead of a really short post.

But I have to be honest. I don't know what to say tonight. I love to write and it is a passion of mine, but sometimes I guess I will hit a wall and not have anything amazing to say. And tonight is one of those nights :)

I didn't want to do this, but I guess I will do what everyone else does and write about my resolutions for 2011. Most people have a list of things they want to change about themselves. How can I change my attitude? Or lose 5 pounds? Or eat less chocolate?

I actually didn't really sit down and make a list this year. But I guess I have to make it now, don't I? Let's see. I want to be more active. I want to finish this journey strong. I want to memorize more Scripture. I want to keep my room clean (yeah right). I want to be a better friend. I want to keep my GPA and maybe even boost it.

Those are my resolutions for 2011. Exciting, right?! ;)

I think I am going to go to bed early tonight. This cold is kicking my butt. I hope you all had a great day and I will try and write something more inspiring tomorrow.
