Don't sweat the random chaos - and it's ALL random chaos

This week has been a deeply thoughtful and philosophical one, for me. Is it proper etiquette to send invitations for a blanket party? (For you civilians, a blanket party is when you throw a blanket over someone's head and beat them up.) Is it okay not to help someone if you know they will become dependent on you like a crutch and never learn their own job? If you have 12 bananas and 7 are ripe but the rest are rotten, do you eat all of them because those 7 were okay or do you eat the good ones and then bail on the rest? (That is an analogy- I am not really having banana issues.)

But, aside from those things - and working at 6 am on Saturday - this week I also got a fantastic haircut and discovered a new favorite writer. So it is not all bad, I suppose. If you are into blog reading, you should really check her out: http://www.kendilea.blogspot.com/. Of course, I am partial to her style because she is a Christian college graduate who works in Marketing, loves fashion and writes with biting sarcasm. Seems familiar, but I can't quite figure out why...

Marian has been working in Phoenix this week, which you know means BRO PARTY EVERYDAY! I have never seen two people so happy to be together, in my whole life; not even newlyweds. These two just can't get enough of each other. So we are staying at his temporary apartment for the weekend and WOW is it wildly different from ours. Mainly because it has windows, no obvious drug dealers and it is more than 500 square feet. I'm not entirely sure we are in Phoenix anymore, Toto.
Sam recently picked up a handful of Old Navy tshirts that were $2 each. This tshirt is evidence of why they were so cheap- they are all sneakily booze themed! He wore this one to work once, not realizing what it meant. Um, oops?
I will be returning to Natural Blondedom this week. Does it sound silly that I am scared? I am about to pay somebody 4 zillion dollars to make my hair the color God made it for free and I just KNOW that as soon as it is finished I will want to dye it right back to brown. I am questioning if blonde really even is a natural color for women. Have you ever met a woman who was naturally blonde, no highlights or bleach? Are you suuuure? Eh, well, I'll let you know how it goes. Please try not to fall off your chairs in anticipation. And do continue eating and sleeping until then.

  1. I want pictures of the hair! I love being blonde, and since my hair turned white, I think I can call myself a natural blonde. The truth is, you are adorable with any color...this is why I hate you.

  2. Uh, gee thanks? I still have a really hard time believing your hair is white under that blonde.
