Today is a cold, dreary day and it’s been snowing almost all day. But we’ve got little to show for it. Again. 🙁 I think, if it’s going to snow, it should snow. After we’re all safe at home, of course.
I got my haircut yesterday and I took some before pics, but they aren’t loading onto my computer for whatever reason. So, all I’ve got is the after pic. To give you an idea, I ended up getting about four inches cut off yesterday. My hair feels so much healthier! I’ve decided that long hair is just a hassle. And mine gets so tangled and yucky looking on the ends way too quickly.
Pardon the poor quality. I took it with my MacBook. Gotta love that Photo Booth application! You can’t see much of it, but this is my glider that I got for Christmas from my mom and dad. I sit here almost every day to either write or read or catch up on the things I call “marketing strategies” but are really just Facebook and Twitter. 🙂
I am at 17.5 weeks today and Big News! I have felt the baby moving! 🙂 YAY! It’s the weirdest feeling EVER and nothing like I imagined it would feel like. Almost like a little thumping in my stomach. Very, very odd. Still, SO exciting and I can’t wait until Jon is able to feel it!
Speaking of my dear husband, he went snowboarding this past weekend, as you guys know. Well, apparently somewhere halfway down a black diamond slope filled with moguls (bad news for snowboarders), he did something weird to his back. He could barely bend over on Monday, so he took a sick day and went to the chiropractor.
Chiropractors have the strangest jobs. This doctor wasn’t a tiny guy, but he wasn’t a big guy either and Jon is not small (you don’t play football at a college level by being a little guy!). So, the doctor is almost jumping on Jon and Jon’s making cracking noises all over and I’m standing in the corner not able to watch. Bleugh. I can’t even stand it when someone cracks their knuckles, cracking a back is WAY worse. But, I was there because I’ve been to the chiropractor and unable to drive afterward. So, I was the designated driver.
Anyway. I think it’s safe to say that I will not be going back to school for my chiropractic degree.
Did you guys watch American Idol or Chopped last night? Chopped was a rerun (boo!), but American Idol cracked both Jon and I up (wow – way too much cracking in this post). I normally don’t start watching until the auditions are over and they are in Hollywood, but it was a good show last night. Though, I have to confess – I thought guest judge Victoria Beckham looked way too dark last night for it being February. I mean, I’m all for fake tanning (as most of us heavy-on-the-Swedish blooded girls are), but there needs to be some realism to the darkness of the tan, I think.
Hope you are having a great day today! I’m going to leave you with something I saw on Facebook today that had me giggling:
“Let’s eat Grandma!” OR “Let’s eat, Grandma!”
Punctuation saves lives.
Have a wonderful night! 🙂

I LOVE the hair!! I am trying to grow my hair out to that length!!
I know a kindred spirit when I see them sing praises about punctuation. 😉
Your hair looks awesome! And yay for feeling the baby! Isn't it the weirdest thing? I felt my son move for a week before I even realized what it was (I sure felt him at the end though…he was a kicker!)Hope Jon gets to feeling better. Now off to watch AI!
Erynn, you are so funny!
Okay – jealous about the snow, even if it's not accumulating (though that would make me made if it were happening here too) –
and jealous that you cut 4 inches off and still have hair that is my length when it's at its longest (it grows SO SLOW) – it's a beautiful haircut – you look awesome….
and, maybe just a little jealous that you are feeling a baby move inside of you. We are so content to be done, but how I miss that. It was an amazing feeling – how blessed you are!!
Hope the snow starts sticking and you both are able to embrace the upcoming weekend.
LOVE the hair! Mine is really thick and fine so I get trimmed to sholder length but layered at the frount and it is sooooo easy to manage! A good tip is to put about a table spoon of hair conditioner ( what u normally use) in about a cup of water and pour in a spray bottle it works wonders for all hair types 🙂
Erynn, your haircut looks awesome! I wish sometimes that I could grow mine out, but it looks better short. I understand what you mean about the chiropractor too. I've been going once or twice a week for the last month and while the back cracking noise doesn't bother me too much, when my neck is cracked I inwardly cringe!
Very cute hair!
And I love Chopped, but have only seen a few episodes. I love how everyone was mocking the 'grandma' but she up ended up winning. Her dessert looked so tasty!
Erynn, you look beautiful!! You are glowing! I really like the haircut. I have to do something with mine. And soon.
So glad that you can feel the baby. Both you and a friend of mine from Louisiana are about the same number of weeks pregnant. So cool!
Pretty hair!! Very cute. Wish mine would curl/wave like that. How do you do it? My hair has never wanted to hold curl. Very sad.
I've been watching the AI auditions, they are hilarious. Can't wait for Hollywood week! And Yes, Victoria needs some natural tan, because whatever she was doing was definitely TOO orange.
But more than that, the woman needs a few cheeseburgers.
PS – congrats on the baby movements! So fun. Eventually it'll get stronger and borderline painful – like if she catches you in the ribs. But its still awesome even then!! lol Especially when she rolls/flips and you can see your stomach move. Unreal!!
Your haircut is gorgeous! And I have to say that the grandma quote is "cracking" me up! That is hilarious!
