Help a Sister out!!

My good friend Clerissa just needs some help!! Please just read the rest before you judge me ;). She's in the running for a contest and it ends THIS THURSDAY!! She has a youtube video that needs more and more views to win it. THAT is WAY simple! It's a pretty clever video too, and I think she really should WIN! After I watched it the first time, this is what I've been doing: while I'm at a computer I have the video playing on mute in on of the tabs. So PLEASE check it out and just have it in the background, on mute if you want. I usually don't bother with things like this, but she's my friend! I think it's such an EASY thing to do and I'm just asking that you do it along with me. No big deal right? RIGHT! :)

THANKS A BUNCHO!!!!

UGH!

I am so behind in school!! I'm doing my darndest...(minus a break I desperately needed) but STILL! I'm really not school savvy. Street savvy yes.

Emil is doing great of course. He says this is a really fun semester for him, I'm really glad!

Emil got a promotion! He is now the Service Manager at his Branch! YAY! He LOVES it and I'm so happy to see the difference it's made for him.

Work is pretty dang busy! Since my hours have been cut it's almost IMPOSSIBLE to get everything done! Usually things have to be left until the next day (which is a pet peeve of mine) and so I'm continually getting behind. I do all that I can to be efficient at work, but it's not as simple as that. Oh sure, what do I do? Work at the Cache-Rich Assoc. of REALTORS(R), address needs of the Agents. Some might say...ok so what do you do??? This list is very long. But basically, in between answering phone calls and email it's a lot of busy work. Filing, updated ANY changes (even a phone number) is 5 sometimes 6 different places, depending on what's changing. Making SO many phone calls to get things done that aren't. Making books for classes we have about every month. Addressing so many different needs! And the thing about it is, many times people don't think I do very much. I do get appreciated comments about how hard I work, but not very many. HOWEVER. That doesn't really matter to me, the point is I need more time than 4hrs. a day to get it all done! I enjoy it though! It's been such a wonderful job at this time in my life. It's a wonderful blessing.

So..I've got to get going with my bizzle! Wish me luck!

As requested, more hair pics.

Since so many of you asked to see more pictures, here you go. My FABULOUS friend Amelia did wonderful work on my uncooperative hair to get it lookin' this good and I LOVE every second of it!!! Fun and edgy! I was having a difficult time with the cut before and she made it all better!

Before I dyed it...

After I dyed it!




I really REALLY like it. It's also very different from what you are use to seeing me like, but I've always enjoyed messing with my hair. Just know that now, someone who really needed it, will have my long locks of red hair to enjoy. I definitely will not miss all the sweet old ladies who loved my hair and constantly commented about my red hair. Even tho I like it myself, I wanted a change and I LOVE it! So just be happy for me instead of saying what someone already has "OH NO!!! WHAT DID YOU DO TO YOUR BEAUTIFUL LONG RED HAIR!!!!!???? WHY DID YOU CUT IT??" Hahaha!!

Happy Birthday!

These are the embarrassing balloons I got for him on his birthday...


I'm incredibly grateful that he was born 26yrs ago yesterday! I'm deeply in love and want to share EVERYTHING with him EVERYDAY!

I'm infinitely blessed to have him in my life. I almost cannot bare how much my heart bursts when I think about how much we've grown together and been through together.

As I say over and over every day, I love you.
