As I have mentioned before, I have wanted to try getting some highlights in my hair for the first time. I have been looking at my hair and deciding that it’s been getting too dark for my liking, so I decided to go for it. “How bad could it turn out?” is what Rachel said the night before when I was expressing my reluctance. I wanted to do it, though. I am cheap so I just went to a local beauty school where the coloring is $20. It ended up taking 3 hours, and Rachel was entertaining Chase there the whole time and wondering when it would end. The girl who did my hair was so excited, saying I would love it!!! Yay! But when all was said and done, it didn’t look hardly any different! I think it just didn’t sit in my hair long enough to take very well. So I made an appointment to go back and have someone else do it (for free since they messed up the first time) and make it a little more noticeable, because i wanted my hair to look lighter! Rachel for some reason agreed to watch Chase again, so I went. It ended up taking almost 4 hours this second time, yes just for highlights, not even a haircut with it. I was so out of it at the end and I vowed never to do it at a beauty school again. They just take too long! I mean, I’ll still get my hair cut at those places, just because I’m not picky about what my haircut is like, but not color! So anyway, the result is that my hair is indeed lighter, but I don’t think I’m a huge fan of what it looks like on me. I think they did it too chunky and I can’t decide if I look like a wannabe blonde or white trash. But it’s not THAT bad…. Just in time for my birthday!

Yesterday I was talking with my mom, TMom, about how sometime I want to get a big, heavy duty paper trimmer to replace the tiny, dinky one that I currently have. The big ones are obviously bigger so they’re easier to use with scrapbook paper, cards and anything else, and you can cut many papers at once. Then today I received a surprise in the mail as an early birthday present. Yep, you guessed it, a brand new paper cutter from the parents! I was very shocked and excited. I called Mom and she said she had just ordered it last night! Wow. Thanks, parents! And happy birthday to me! And the moral of the story is, if you ever want anything, casually mention it to TMom and it may magically arrive at your home the next day!

In case you hadn’t heard, which most of you have except me… Nada got her braces off. I haven’t heard b/c they haven’t been by to see me since she got them off. Kind of like when your teenager gets their drivers license, you don’t see them anymore… now that Nada is so popular and attractive, she does come round no more. In other news, BYU beat Utah in the best football game I’ve seen all year. Joy was called to be the beehive adviser, and I am going to be an teaching Elders quorum. Oh and Chase is driving.

Thanksgiving was fun, we had a good time relaxing and eating food, hanging out with friends and family that were in town. We kept meaning to go see Bond after Tyler’s review.. but it just never happened. Maybe next week.
