the "new" things

New things going on:



I bought two books yesterday, "The Shack" which I have heard great things about, and "Do You Think I'm Beautiful" which I started reading a few years back and never finished. I started reading "The Shack" last night and couldn't put it down until my eyes just wouldn't stay open any longer. It is so good so far. I am excited about starting to read more again.



The next "new" is my work out regimen. I have started getting up early (as you know, a miracle in itself) and going to the gym to run for 40 min. every morning (another miracle). It is going well. I have discovered that I don't have to get up near as early as I thought to be able to get it done and be ready to work or whatever it is I have to do that day. I feel much better through the day however I swear I'm gaining weight instead of losing it...however; I shall continue.



Mom and Robert are coming into town to visit this weekend. I am excited! We are going to go to Maggiano's tonight for dinner after we pick them up. Saturday Mom and I plan to tootle around Franklin. She LOVES Franklin and I haven't been down there since we moved, so I'm looking forward to it. It should be fun. The rest is in the air...dunno what we're gonna do.



Britt is now working in operations for Guitar Center instead of sales. So far this has been a good move for him. He is far less stressed, is working 8-5 Monday through Friday, and is getting some fabulous new skills that will help if he decides to switch companies.


OH and one last thing...another new pic from the shoot!

the real TOUGH decisions of life

So the decision to make is: to cut the hair or not to cut the hair. For those of you who have known me for any length of time, you know that I change my hair quite often..about every 6 months maximum. Well that six months is coming round and I'm getting the itch. So about 6 months ago I decided to grow my hair out. Well it is to the length that gets on my nerves. I am trying to do anything I can to get through it...curl it, pull it back..SOMETHING. Then I got to thinking...Why am I growing it out anyway? I do really like my hair long but does it really look better? I think I look younger with it long which is good especially if I want to continue doing some modeling/acting, but as a dancer I think it works better short. What to do...

I need to get some new photos for my portfolio. I need to make up my mind about my hair though before I do. AND being the perfectionist that I am, of course, I am not in the bodily shape that I want to be in, so I am also kind of stalling for that reason as well. My stalling just keeps me from getting it done and getting work!! I just need to do it!

So I actually got up early and ran yesterday! A miracle I know! I freakin hate to run unless I am in the kind of shape that I actually get a high from it. Getting into that shape really isn't fun, and I'm all about the fun things in life. I didn't really run for all that long, but I'm feeling it today. I know that is a sign that I need to do it more..maybe if I had a running buddy. I just have to think about what I'll look and feel like when I get into shape from running. It really is worth all the pain and suffering!
