I was just looking in the mirror and I noticed some reddish brown roots! I can’t tell you how excited I am! I dyed my hair jet black back in January and it’s still black. I had no idea it would last this long and I wasn’t willing to strip it so I’ve just been sitting and waiting…waiting and sitting. Now that I see some color in my hair I’m getting excited and I’m trying to figure out how I want to do my hair this summer. I think I’m really going to try to learn how to do tight curls. I want the natural curl look without going natural. I love that hairstyle on me but I haven’t figured out how to keep it up. Hopefully this summer I’ll learn! I can’t wait!!!

I am so tired! I feel like I’ve been doing a lot lately which is weird since I’m not in school and I’m not working. I have been a busy bee nonetheless. I’m just getting back in town today. Yesterday was different. Very different. I’ve never experienced anything like that before in my life and I’ll leave it at that. I feel like there’s so much that I need to do and I need to focus on that. I have so many sites just hanging out there. I have no idea what to do with them. I have a purpose for them all, I’m just too lazy to put a move on it. I need to start using my time wisely. I want to get all of this stuff done before school starts.

I’m still on that dreaded apartment search. It can be fun and exciting as well as depressing and discouraging. You get your mind set on something and then all of a sudden your dreams come crashing down on you. That’s how I feel right now. I’m still trying to find something that I qualify for but the hardest part is not having a job. Hopefully things will turn around soon.

I’ve been thinking about trying to get fit for a while now. I know I will not instantly drop to a size 2 and that’s not what I want. I want to be in shape and have a healthy body. I have the type of body that can get very muscular with a lot of exercise so I’m going to try to do everything in moderation so I don’t end up looking like a body builder. I’ve been apartment hunting and I’ve been looking for a place that offers a fitness center so I don’t have to worry about paying for a gym membership and not going. My mom also has these appetite suppressant smoothies that taste really good! I’m thinking about buying the powder to make those. That allows you to skip one meal a day while still feeling full and getting all of your nutrients. The best time for me to drink it would probably be around breakfast since I’ll still be home to make it, but I never eat breakfast anyway so I don’t know if that will even matter.

I’m started to slack on blogging again. I guess it comes and goes. I went from blogging every other day to once a week. I have some updates that I should add. I was blogging all the time during the American Idol tryouts and now I haven’t been up to it. I’ve been tired and busy with school. It seems like I have so much do and everything is crashing down on me. I have a Spanish exam every other week starting Tuesday. I’m going to be beat because everything I do from this point on will make or break me.

Well, I’m going to make something for dinner (most like Italian) and then start studying Spanish. I’m dedicating tonight, tomorrow and as much of Tuesday as I can to studying Spanish. Wish me luck!

And as for Idol, I’ll most likely do a mega-Idol post sometime this week. Keep an eye out for that.

This post isn’t going to be about daylight savings time although that did occur a few hours ago. But I must say it is a clever title…but it wasn’t intentional. Anywho…

I’ve been monitor shopping like crazy. I use monitor shopping as one would use window shopping. I get behind my monitor and look at all the things I want…and I even put some of those things in a shopping cart but I don’t check out. I like shopping online. It’s convenient and you save a lot of money. You also get to check out different stores and compare prices and that’s so much easier to do with Firefox tabs than trying to run all over town checking on prices. And yes, I know someone who does that.

I plan on saving up as much money possible over the next few months. I plan on taking a vacation soon so of course I’ll spend money on that but I don’t plan on going crazy with it. I’m trying to save up in order to buy a lot of nice things for my apartment. I’m going to make a registry and hope for the best.

So far it looks like I can get everything I want for a grand total of $300. Looking at my shopping cart that’s a great deal. I say that because I feel like I have everything. Just to give you a rundown…I have a 16 piece dinnerware set, shower curtain & hooks, bath run, shower caddy, knife & utensils set, wok, 2 hampers, butter dish, salt & pepper shakers, 18 piece glassware set, wood chopping board, colander and measuring spoons.

I already have pots & pans, a microwave, toaster oven, toaster, blender, cocoa maker, George Foreman Grill, all types of baking dishes, deep fryer and a mixer. By me having all of the electric appliances already that’s going to help me out a lot in the long run because I wont have to buy that stuff again. I think the only other thing I need to factor into my budget is paint and other little things I can buy from the DIY store.

The theme for my house is going to be brown. I’m so in love with that color…it’s crazy. I don’t want to do too much to the point where I’m sick of it. I’m trying to decide if I’ll paint the majority of the place brown (bedroom, living room, bathroom) or if I want different colors throughout. I’m sold on having my living room brown. A really light brown. As for the bathroom I’m not entirely sure. I think I have an idea from the site that I’m buying all my stuff from…I hope it works! I know blue goes with brown…but what about purple? I originally wanted a lavender type color but I might have luck with a deeper purple.

I’m rambling…but I can’t wait to do this! I’m definitely going to take before and after pics so stay tuned!!

I’m on a roll! I’m sorry if my voice sounds a little scratchy. I think I’m losing it or coming down with a cold. Either way…here’s another “How-To” for you to enjoy! Please take note that I forgot to mention PayPal in my podcast and this is another great way to protect your credit! I’ll be adding a way for you to subscribe to my podcasts soon. Who knows…maybe you’ll want to listen to some of this stuff while you’re on your way to work/class or just lounging around the house

So you want to know how to play games/send messages to your friend on you Wii? Do you also wanna rock out with them on Guitar Hero III? Well here’s how:

Bare with me! I’m trying to get these together. I don’t have a mic so my way of doing this is kind of funny. In this first SD-Cast I will be telling you how to find someone in a non-stalkerish kind of way.

I have my reviews for Idol. I have to post them. I’ve been a little busy with school this week so I’m behind on some things. Until I get around to that I just wanted to leave you with this:

My wonderful girlfriend and I had been dating for over a year, and so we decided to get married. There was only one little thing bothering me. It was her beautiful younger sister.
My prospective sister-in-law was twenty-two, wore very tight miniskirts, and generally was bra-less. One day ‘little’ sister called and asked me to come over to check the wedding invitations. She was alone when I arrived, and she whispered to me that she had feelings and desires for me that she couldn’t overcome.

She told me that she wanted to make love to me just once before I got married and committed my life to her sister.
Well, I was in total shock, and couldn’t say a word. She said, ‘I’m going upstairs to my bedroom, and if you want one last wild fling, just come up and get me.’ I was stunned and frozen in shock as I watched her go up the stairs. When she reached the top she pulled off her panties and threw them down the stairs at me.

I stood there for a moment, then turned and made a beeline straight to the front door. I opened the door, and ran straight towards my car. Lo and behold, my entire future family was standing outside, all clapping!

With tears in his eyes, my future father-in-law hugged me and said, ‘We are so happy that you have passed our little test… we couldn’t ask for a better man for our daughter. Welcome to the family!’

And the moral of this story is:

Always keep your condoms in your car.
