Okay, so this is the new haircut. These are admittedly horrible pictures of myself, but they at least show my hair. A haircut probably isn't a big deal to most people, but I've pretty much had the exact same hair since middle school, with the exception of a 12 inch cut I got during a momentary lapse of judgement during highschool for a boyfriend. This time, it wasn't 12 inches, but it was somewhere around 6-8 and I got full bangs for the first time since I was probably in the 2nd grade. I must say, I do not handle change well AT ALL!!!...usually. But this was different. I felt like my haircut made me look more asian, and with that, I decided to embrace it. I typically avoid high collared or silky shirts with every attempt to look less asian, but I've decided there will be no more of that. I will wear and present myself with whatever happens to look good, weather or not that results in my looking more asian lol. I am me. I am 1/4 Korean. And I can be confident in that. I've also been told my new hair makes me look older (at least older than 14 haha), and sophisticated. I like that. I'm not sure if it's the hair or the way I carry myself with my new cut, but either way, I feel different.
I also promised to be posting results of recipes I've tried from Pinterest, so I'll go ahead and follow through on that. This time, I made something called Cowboy Casserole. It's the epitome of comfort food and so incredible easy and delicious...perfect for the witner weather we've had here in Iowa. The recipe can be found at this link: http://thecuttingedgeofordinary.blogspot.com/2010/09/cowboy-casserole-looks-like-dog-food.html and here are some pics I took...
It may not look that appealing, but I assure you tastes great! Oh also, I threw a can of green beans in there and it was yummy!
I also refurbished some old side tables that Michael's parents gave us and these, I admit, I'm pretty proud of. I took off the hardware that was already on them, sanded them, gave 'em a paint job, and then comes the impressive part (at least for me haha). I got some wood putty from home depot and filled the holes from the existing handles, and drilled one hole for some nobs. Lastly, I made a stencil and painted a design on each of the drawers. Here at the before and after pics:
Lastly, I made some simple coasters using modge podge, some tiles, and scrapbook paper. Here the link for the directions: http://twogirlsbeingcrafty.blogspot.com/2011/02/ramseys-finally-have-coasters.html and here are the pics of the ones I made
Other than these things, life has been pretty much the usual- work, housework, and lots and lots of studying for Michael. I was sick for a couple days with a horrible stomach virus, which was especially miserable because Michael couldn't really take care of me; he had so much studying to do for his tests and also couldn't afford to get sick and have to miss any classes or study time. Other than bringing me some drinks and a trashcan, I was on my own. It was short-lived, though and now I'm just fine. This weekend has been so great! Michael has had a little bit of time to spend away from studying, so we rented a couple movies and snuggled up tight...it's the simple things :)
Gotta run, I'm painting my bedroom. Stay tuned, I'll let you know how it turns out!
I LOVE what you did to the matching chests of drawers - cute! It's amazing what you can do to furniture. Those were my parents' chests. If you keep them, who knows what your kids may want to do with them 25 years from now!
ReplyDeleteSee you - and the chests - soon!
