Sick

I am sick. This means on Saturday I slept late and did nothing. Sunday was freedom but after waking up at 5:45am for 2 hours I took a nap. Followed by cleaning, shower, geocrey store, out door event, soccer, and more nothing.

Having to stay at home for so much of my weekend was weird. I am amazed on how much bad tv and commercials are on YET I contunied to watch them all.

I'm getting better and feel better now my cough is changing though. :-(

It is the season! Stop sharing food and wash; wash, wash your hands!

#IceBucketChallenge




This post is kind of self explanitory. 

I think over all that this challenge is something good. It promotes a cause that most people, myself included, had no idea about. Also, I think a good amount of people have donated something and something is always better then nothing.

Also, I think it is a great way to see your friends suffer without the risk of a random punch in the arm. =)

Hair Donation



A few weeks ago I donated my hair. I had been growing it out for the last 6 years and it was starting to get to the point where it was annoying me. 


I would roll over on it. I  get it caught in everything. I felt like it was everywhere, on clothes, in my food, all over the bathroom, all over the floor just every where. 

If I put it in a pony tail you could barely tell. Plus, it would hurt my head if left up too long. So I decided to cut it. I've been waning to do it for a while but New Dude like long hair so I kept pushing it off. 

I chose to donate it to Pantene's Beautiful Lengths for two reason.
1. The minimum donation is only 8 inches vs Locks for Love is 10. I have donated for them before too.
2. They don't make the recipients of the wigs pay for them. Locks for Loves makes them pay for it. 

So the day finally came. 

My hair stylist straightened my hair. She measured 9 inches, then put a rubber band around the small pony tail, braided it and in less them 3 seconds 6 years worth of growth came off. 

It was kind of sad but at the same time great because I could help someone, I hope, make their day, when they do get that new wig a little bit happy. 

Below are some before and after pictures. Enjoy.




































Also, has anyone else donated hair before? What did you think? Where did you donate? Let me know with a comment below!
