Unswaddled and Multicultural Hair

Me today:

I literally sat on my bed all day and made headbands and a tutu! They’re quite beautiful, if I say so myself. I’ll be making a facebook page for my crafties here shortly. I will post a link when I do.

I think I’ve figured out why I’m always so miserable when I’m in Wisconsin. Besides the fact that there’s really not much for me here, I think it has a lot to do with missing the mountains. I equate it to being similar to a newborn baby unswaddled. The mountains are cozy and embrace me, making me feel all comfy and contained; whereas, in Wisconsin, there’s just open fields. Of course, Johnny’s love and embraces are a big portion of it too, and that’s the same unswaddled concept.

My days have been very difficult lately, I’m just getting lonelier and lonelier without Johnny. Since I visited him in January, things haven’t been quite the same for me and to be honest, I still haven’t fully unpacked from that trip. Then, yesterday I found out that the apartment I was hoping to rent is pending for lease. That’s pretty heart-breaking news, but I’m trying to look at it in a positive way. I’ll have a little more time to save up money, get everything in order, and find a job. My fingers are crossed, and I’m definitely hoping that everything falls into place.

Last night I spent hours working on my hair. Recently, I died it a darker shade of brown, but I quickly started to miss my red. So, I bleached my hair. Twice. It was quite a sight. I was calling my hair "multicultural," but to be completely honest it was at least half a dozen colors all at once. To make matters worse, after the first bleaching I had to run to the store to buy another box. So, to save myself from complete embarrassment, I threw a hat on my head to shield it from the world. I win.

The third step was, finally, making it a fiery red. The outcome was a little, okay a lot, redder than it was supposed to be. I kept going through periods of loving it, then seconds later I would hate it. However, I think the initial shock of change is ending. I think I like it. Anyway, without further ado, here are the results:

I realize it’s a crappy picture, and it’s incredibly large, but I’m lazy. Deal, yo.

I have a bunch of pictures of the headbands and the tutu that I made. I would share them tonight, but that involves a lot of work, and again I’m super lazy right now. So, tomorrow I will do an entry dedicated to my crafts and I’ll have the link to my new facebook page. Yay.

Tomorrow, lovelies. <3
