Good news and bad news

Good news:
I'm growing out my pixie cut! After Bekah and Jeff whining their dang pants off about how weird they find it that I look exactly like my mom now that we have the same hair, I've decided to give long hair another shot, and I hope that this time around I'll miraculously be blessed with hair-styling abilities. So I guess that's the end of this for now:
It was good while it lasted.

Bad news:
I'm growing out my pixie cut. There's a reason this is happening over the winter . . . it will not be pretty, people. Hats will be my friends. I have a pretty impressive half mullet, half rat tail thing happening right now. In fact, with a little gel and a curling iron, I think I could style it into this:

Good news:
We made friends in our new ward! Two of them!

Bad news:
They are both moving this month. That brings the friends tally back to zero.

Good news:
Jeff and his sister ran the Dirty Dash a few weekends ago.
Bad news:
Jeff and his sister ran the Dirty Dash a few weekends ago.
Next on his list: Night of the Running Dead. I don't know how he finds such weird events.


Good news: 
Forrest is walking!
Okay, I don't have a picture of him walking, but I just find the look on his face amusing in that picture. He looks kind of guilty for eating a brownie. It's okay, Forrest, chubby looks good on you.

Bad news:
He now thinks he must walk everywhere. Jeff's office had a booth at the home show this weekend, and when we dropped by to visit, Forrest felt that he needed to push the stroller through the whole place instead of riding in it. I was tempted to take a seat myself, but I didn't want any weird looks.

Good news:
I saw The Help this weekend with my old friend Audrey, who I haven't seen in 3+ years! 
 It was so good, and so much fun to hang out with Audrey.

Bad news:
The movie ended and we had to go home. 
(But only after a detour to Red Robin, where our waitress brought us checks and boxes after we had literally taken about 3 bites from our dinners. I think she wanted us to leave.)

4 reasons to keep posting:

  1. Well clearly you haven't heard this enough, but I LOVE, love, Love, lovelovelove your short hair. Seriously I do. You rock the short hair and it looks awesome on you. You rock long hair too, but if you ever feel like going back to the short, do it! That being said, growing your hair out when it's that short is such a pain!! I totally did the sort of spikey in the back/meg ryan flip when it got all mullet-ish. I know that isn't exactly hip at the moment, but I'm sure there is an updated version out there. Forrest is so so darling (as always!) and yeah for walking! I'm nervous for my boys to walk...in opposite directions..and having to choose which one is in the most danger and needs to be nabbed first. Yikes!

    I hope some new friends come along quickly. No friends = no bueno!!

  2. Love the new layout. I changed mine briefly and then changed it back because I like my header and also I don't like that I can't still see my blog roll down the side. As soon as that gets fixed, I will be happy!

  3. So you posted this when you were on that different blog layout and I only read the first one about your haircut! But now I have read the rest of the post and it was a good one. Well done.
