New last name.
New house.
New job.
New look...?
Update: Contact has been made with HistoryGirlie. She is alive. We covered the basics in my 24 minute drive to work this morning (sorry Washington state police - I flaunt your "no cell phone while driving" law because it's baloney sausage). On the Farm front, HG's daughter is currently obsessed with Elmo, HG is couch and carpet shopping (yea!), and Farmer is, well, still Farmer.
Update: My muscles are still sore from my excursion to the gym on Tuesday. This does not bode well for a) my fitness level and b) the likelihood I'll return to BodyPump class.
Update: MOH's baby is 1 month old tomorrow - I am determined to contact her and at least talk for five minutes. Even if I have to call while at work. Or while in the shower.

Okay, enough updating - I have a tidbit to share for any and all So You Think You Can Dance fans! (Or STTYCD as the true fanatics know it.) After a little internet sleuthing, I discovered the two songs they play while they recap the dancers who have been kicked off! Maybe this is only exciting to me, but I happen to like both of the tunes, and upon discovery, quickly added them to my iPod.
For the female dancer, they play Kelly Clarkson's "Already Gone." The male dancer gets "On Your Own" by Green River Ordinance. Just thought I'd share a little info with you peeps. Take it or leave it.

Last but not least, I need your opinions. It's time for a haircut. Since the wedding, I've done little more than wash my hair, and promptly pull it up into a messy knot behind my head. Super hot. I've been putting off making a decision about my hair, because I'm vacillating between several decisions:
Option 1: Get it trimmed, and wait for inspiration to strike.
Option 2: Chop it to at least shoulder-length, but keep the same general style.
Option 3: Chop it, and add bangs! I know, I know - can I really pull this look off? Will NavyGuy harass me every single day calling them "koosh ball bangs" like he THINKS I had in the early 90s? (Point in fact - I never had koosh ball bangs... ugly bangs yes, but no whirl of hair and AquaNet.) Now, when I say bangs, I'm thinking these, a la Reese, Reese, or Alexis.
Option 4: Give some parameters to my hairstylist and let her make suggestions.
Option 5: Take in a fabulous inspiration pic that one of you dolls finds!
So? What do we think? Should I take this opportunity to be a little adventurous, considering I have no major events scheduled in the near future and can risk a scandalous cut? Or should I stick with what I know best? Let's do some voting in the comments, and seriously, feel free to email or comment with photos or links to styles.
NavyGuy - go away.
Seriously.
I love you, but this post contains photos of the hair and makeup beautiful-ness to come on wedding day, and if you look at the pics ahead of time, it won't be as exciting to see me all dazzled up with real makeup and a hairdo not based around a Goody rubber band on the actual wedding day.
Seriously.
I will know if you peek. I'm a teacher, and I have teacher senses in my blood; eyes on the back of my head don't begin to describe it.
Last chance buddy boy!
So here it is kids... the look I will be rockin' down the aisle...
Nice, right?!?! I love how it accentuates my large forehead. I think the ringlets are very vintage, but also modern.
Um, yeah, you can stop gagging now. :) That's the in-process shot. (But I did giggle for two days straight after showing NavyGuy that photo and watching him try and not show a look of horror on his face... he's such a good man - he covered very well and said it looked "so pretty." Ha!)
Alright, here's the real thing. Side sweep with the pseudo bangs, low ball of curls with some peeking around the side of my head so I don't look bald. The photo above shows my bling hair comb. First, I tried it on top of my head.
Here's the view from the back, and obviously, the hair comb has been reassigned. I like how it frames the back of my head, but it didn't stay very well, and it pushed the hair ball down a bit...
The veil is very simple so as not to compete with the fabulousness of my dress.
Lord above, I really am a ham.
So, thoughts? I had originally felt very confident with the hair comb in the back (I'm not an outright bling kinda gal), but now I'm doubting my selection and thinking it maybe does need to go up front. The makeup stayed fairly well throughout the day (she sprayed my entire face with some magic goop called "Model in a Bottle" which is supposed to set your makeup), but I may ask my stylist girl to pump up the eyes a little more, cuz I'm not sure they "pop" quite enough. Whatda' we think?
Help! My daily moisturizer and I are no longer on speaking terms. For years I've been loyal; never switching brands, never complaining, never doubting. But the time has come to make a clean break.
Here's what I've used since sophomore year of high school:
I saw my mom use it when I was a kid, it's reasonably priced, it has SPF, and I like the smell. And until recently, it worked fine. I say recently, because until recently I lived in Wisconsin - land of the harsh bitter winters, where a dense facial moisturizer was as necessary in the winter as a scrapper for your frozen car windows and a rope tied between the barn and the farmhouse so you won't lose your way during the blizzard. I needed the Oil of Olay moisturizer because while it's liquidy, it doesn't mess around - my dry winter skin soaked up the stuff.
I now live in a place where it can be 50 degrees on January 18th, and you can actually see the moisture in the air when you look out the window. I don't need to drown my face in goop everyday in order to prevent my skin from flaking off. I need a daily moisturizer that's much lighter, still has some SPF, and won't give me zits. I'm also a cheapskate so it can't cost more than a DVD, and it has to smell good.
You've been given your mission readers - go forth and recommend your best face gunk!
