in case you wanted to know...

...here is what I look like today.

First of all, I have been growing my hair out for several months now and was ready for a change. In case you didn't know, I LOVE change. Its a problem I have...but its how I am and isn't going to change any anytime soon. SOOOO while the growing out process occurs...and girls you KNOW how frusterating this period is...my FABULOUS hair dresser and I decided to cut some bangs. Apparently the are making a come back and my big forehead is excited to be covered up! So there ya have it...bangs.

And if you look closely you'll see a surprising little piece of jewelry on my not so little nose! Yup...that's right! I did it. I pierced my nose. I have toyed with the idea for more than 2 years now and just recently got up the courage to do it. Crazy huh?! C actually really likes it and K thinks its so cute! ha! No it didn't hurt, yes it takes some getting used to and no it doesn't bother me except when I blow my nose and dry my face. It's funky fresh!

C is currently at work. On the streets. Being a cop. I started crying today just thinking about what could possibly happen. I do this ever so often to keep the reality of his job fresh in my mind. I know he is safe...2 guns, 2 knives, a shotgun and mega bp-vest...but his job is not to be taken lightly. He will be dealing with some not so good people at not so good hours of the day. I have such an amazing amount of pride for police officers now. Its funny how fast your opinions can change when you come into contact with so many different officers. They are out there busting their butts each and every day. They wear the most uncomfortable, black, cotton/wool blend (aka HOT) uniforms. Their gear weighs an additional gazillion pounds (trust me...I've picked everything up and felt the weight) and they have to wear boots! BOOTS! In 107 degree weather they are wearing wool and boots. Think about that...it makes me sweat just to think about it! Not to mention the fact that every person who comes in contact with a cop is typically in trouble and most likely hating them.

****phone call*****

okay. so I'm done being on my small soap box about cops. I like cops and I'm not ashamed to say it. Just remember, they are all normal people just like my hubby. They aren't all egotistical power hungry jerks.

how was your day?

what changes have you made?
