Not Much Going On Lately

Wish I could say there was! I've been doing a lot of thinking about my future career as a hair stylist lately. I still definitely want to! I've just been trying to figure out how to make it happen. Well I know how, it's just a matter of finances. But man am I excited! I think about it all the time! It's just such a good feeling knowing what I want to do in life. Just making it happen financially is the hard part.

I just can't stop thinking about it. I imagine I will be so happy. How could I not be? I'm basically waiting for a certain thing to happen financially, but it's kind of personal so I'm not going to get into it.

At first, I really thought I was just going to go to a technical school. I even started sending transcripts to a school. It's cheaper and you supposedly learn the same material. But after talking to two girls who have a lot more knowledge about the subject than I do (they're both enrolled and close to graduating from a "high end school"), I quickly learned that going to a higher end school is the way to go. It's expensive, but worth it. They both told me that so many girls who went to a technical school ended up there, because they weren't learning what they should be and weren't passing the boards. So after a lot of convincing (from me to my husband) he agreed reluctantly it was probably the best route to take. But right now, we aren't making enough to make monthly payments on a loan. Our one year anniversary is coming up soon (next week) and we're going to a cabin to celebrate! After that, I'd really, really like to start looking for a new job. I'm not exactly sure how it's going to work out going to school and working, but I'm going to have to! Even if it's only a few days a week.

Anyway, just thought I'd make a small update. Just been living life besides that! I've got to start blogging more! I miss it!

Outdoors

I really want to go camping again this Friday. I brought it up to Daniel earlier in the week, but he didn't really say anything. I want to get out and clear my mind. It's getting all murky with consumerism and I don't like it. I just want to chill out by a fire, be surrounded by trees and soak in the cool breeze. When we went camping last time it had just rained for two days straight before, and we couldn't keep the fire going, so it was kind of disappointing. But since then we've bought firestarters and a really bright propane powered lantern. So I think we'll be good next time around.

Just Writing

 

I'm not even sure what I want to write about. I'm so sleepy right now, but it's not even 9. My life really hasn't been very interesting lately. We went to look for Halloween costumes today which was fun. I got most of the things I need for my costume. I want to be a girlier version of the black plague doctors. I bought a hat, hooded cape (hat goes on top of cape), and long black gloves. I still need to buy the mask. I looked at both of the halloween stores by us, but they both had the same one. It's black but has a lame gold design on it. I saw on the website for one of the halloween stores, they have the same mask, but in solid black. They said if you buy it online, they'll ship it to the store for free. So I think I'll do that. But I'm going to wear either a black skirt/shirt or dress with black tights, and these black heeled oxfords. I think it'll be really cute, and slightly dark. But just the cape, gloves, and hat looked really good together when I tried it on. Maybe I'll wear some red lipstick too or something.

I'm really excited because I ordered some Lush stuff online! I know it'll take a while to get here, but that's ok. Most of the stuff I got is available online only. And one of the items I bought online (that you can also get in store) is just to get the black pot it comes in as opposed to the clear plastic one they put it in in store. It's a facial cleanser called "Let the Good Times Roll." Then I got like 4 perfume samples (still had to pay for those), 3 bath bombs, and a small body wash.
