So, thank you for being so supportive of my hair. I know I am being silly. It's just hair and it grows, but it made me feel ugly and stupid. Thank you for putting up with me.

any better? I tried to smile. The back is kinda weird, too!!!

How did this happen

I am trying to laugh about this, but I really want to cry! REALLY! I HATE MY HAIR. I am thankful to have hair at all, but I look terrible. I specifically asked her to leave the long pieces in front and she DIDN'T! She put color on it and it was a boring drab red with highlights that looked gray and then she fluffed my bangs!!!!! WHAT!? REALLY? I am not a fluffy bang person!!!!! So, after crying in my mini van I followed my sisters advice and put some bright red on it. That made me feel a little better and I tried to style it better myself, but it's just horrible. I was just trying to get a cute hairdo and instead I have a "passabel" hairstyle. Like maybe I can "pass" for someone who does not have a stupid haircut!! The picture are after I tried to sttle it. I know the picture probably would have been better had I smiled, but there is no way right now!

Sexy Back

I am not sure how the girl who did my hair today translated me saying " I want a textured, feminine, non "momish", pixie haircut that does not make me look like a boy" into this
BUT SHE DID!

I probably shouldn't share this, but what the hey?

So, I have been crazy crafting this week. My house literally looks like a Hobby Lobby blew up in my house! My kitchen table alone is a nightmare. That is the picture above. I probablky shouldn't share how messy I am, but it's not really a secret. Joe and "B" are having to climb over stacks of paper and random stuff. But, they are awesome and knos this makes me happy , so they are choosing to ignore the mess. I started makeing glass jewelry and wall hangings, I am part of a TM Valentine's Day card exchage, and part of another homemade card exchange, part of an ALtered Book club with our first mail date on Tuesday, I think that's it. Oh, i took a crotchet class this week, too. AND I have worked this week. Hopefully, I will have some very cool stuff to post about later when I'm done.

this might only be funny to me

i was at McDonalds the other day. The manager was working the counter and handed my nuggets to me. I asked him for some Polanysian sauce, forgetting that's Chick fil's sauce. He looked at me really strange and I said "oh, I forgot where I was, I mean Sweet and Sour sauce" He smiled and said "no problem its neat to hear what they call it in a different countires" hmmmmmmm........I didn't realize Chick Fil A was a country.

A long time ago I worked at UPS loading trucks. It was a really really hard job. I went to work at 3am and got off at 9am and it was always cold. I remember I started on my birthday and there was a huge storm when I drove in. As I was getting led to my hub I heard guys making bets on how long I would last. Red Flag should have gone up then. I lasted three months. What did me in was we had a conveyer belt that the packages came down on and if it got clogged we would have to stop the belt and I would climb up the belt and unclog it. I can't remember exactly what happened, but I fell or tripped or someone turned on the belt. Either way I remember thinking if I got hurt and was laying on the floor, I'm not sure anyone would help me. I was sure they would just step over me. I quit after that. Everyone was just rude and it was a hard place to work.
So fast forward to this past Saturday night. It started snowing here in dahlonega right after I went into work. I know to people outside of Georgia, it's not a big deal, but it was exciting stuff at work. Dahlonega is a mountain town and the roads are windy and steep. The guy that works the sound's wife got in an accident on her way home because the roads were icy. I started to get a little nervous leaving work. I tried to call Hoe thinking he could come get me in his truck, but he didn't answer. As i walked out the door the floor manager made me take her number in case I needed help and made me promise to call her as soon as I got home and then the owner suggested I come sleep at her house. Such little things, but it's nice to know that people care. The roads were slick and policemen were standing on the roads slowing people down. I made it all the way to our road with no problems. But, the street leading to our drive is VERY steep and straight up. It was solid white. I made it half way up before I started sliding sideways. I tried to back down, but I started sliding sideways the other way and couldn't see behind me. I sat there for a couple of minutes not knowing what to do and calling Joe over and over. He never answered. I finally decided to just put the emergency brake and hazard lights on and get out and walk the rest of the way. It's no that far, but it was cold and creepy. and of corse, I scared myself and ended up running the last steps home. I burst through the door to find Joe asleep on the couch. He jumped up and looked at me half frozen. I said I got the car stuck and he asked how. I just opened the door and pointed. He stepped in the doorway and said "hey it's snowing" REALLY! In Joe's defense he had worked hard all day and he walked down and got my car and checked on my goats.

Did anyone else see that?

Seriously, Joe and I laughed so hard!! Did anyone else see Ryan Seacrest TRY to high five a blind guy? WOW!

Stinkers

So, it has been 4 days, AT LEAST, since I have talked to Kelli, Brenna, or Mom! I have emailed you people, I have a new phone and do not have your numbers. Sure that sounds silly, but I didn't memorize the numbers because they were in my phone and no I didn't learn from last time I had to change phones and lost my numbers, I did not write them down. Also, in my defense as far as not having Mom's number, I was with Mom and her cell rang and she didn't recognize the number so I answered it for her, it was Dad at home. She got a new number, too. SO CALL ME!

Crappy New Years pictures

So, remember how I lost my camera? Well, I found it. But, not before having to use a disposable one for New Years. I REALLY appreciate my digital camera. The pictures came out HORRIBLE. Everyone's eyes look weird and all the pictures are so dark you can't hardly see what it is. We had such a nice New Years. We went up to the TAG property and met some caving friends. We had a potluck and had a ton of yummy food and we played Scrabble (I won, woohoo) and did puzzles and just talked. There were dairy free cakes there, too. You have no idea what a big deal that is in my famiy for Bella to have a dairy free cake that I didn't make. I always pack something she can have like oreos or moon pies, but to just show up and there be a cake that is dairy free. Bella was VERY pleased. Anyway, the next day we went hiking at Cloudland Canyon with Joe's sister and her husband. We just had the best time. i was so bummed about the pcitures because the day was just gorgeous, but my 1970 looking pictures are all I have so enjoy.

Hello, My name is Erin and I'm an addict!

LOL, has anyone else seen the same movie 10 times....in the theatre? Joe said he is scared for when the Dvd comes out. But, he feeds my addiction. He took me to see it last night. IT was playing at the Holly theatre. The Holly is an old stage theatre in Dahlonega. They usually do stage productions, but they put up a screen on the stage and Joe and I sat on the front row. It was neat and felt VERY small town. You could see the stage background through the movie screen. It was this shimmery glitter stuff. lol, it kinda helped in one scene.
