15 Random 2am thoughts

1. Realized I promised pictures of the house with all of our stuff in it.... I will get right on that! But like I said last time... I need to clean 1st lol
2. Wondering when the Thank you's will get to everyone. Any time now ...
3. I really need to make a recipe book of all the delicious new dinners I've been making. I've realized all my best stuff comes out when I guess-timate (wonder where I got that from lol)
4. I miss home. There I said it! You guys happy?! Haha I don't like to worry people so I try not to say it too often. I don't want you guys thinking I'm moping around all day! I am enjoying my time out here I just wish my friends and family could be here too!
5. More then excited that Rene and I are starting to talk/plan trips out of Turkey! My poor husband needs it, he's been working so much lately. 
6. Jobs here are weird... and that's all I'm going to say, maybe you can try and pry to get the scoop about my job.
7.  Who would have thought Bartending and working at a youth center would have so many common qualities.. All I need to do is tweak the language I use and BAM! With a few minor additives.. like screaming kids....
8. I really need to crack down and finish reading Girl with the Dragon Tattoo. Good book, just long, especially when I'm tired. 
9. I need to order more pictures to fill my picture frames so I can get them put up on our blank wall.
10. My AC is goofy. It's either hot or it's freezing... Eh I can always put a sweater on
11. Mmmmm What I would give for a Dion's turkey and provolone sub with green chile, no onions and ranch instead of greek :) Or I could settle for a Duke City pizza. :) 
12. I am glad I don't have to work tomorrow. It's going to be a busy summer at the youth center! At least I will be getting hours and can save up some vacation money!! 
13. I miss my puppies. 
14. It's amazing how good un-friending a FB group feels! 
15. I have met some truly amazing people since I've moved here. I am so happy I've been able to bond with some of you ladies and look forward to getting to know some of you more!

Jeans

Dear AE jeans,

I understand when I bought you my butt was bigger, this is why before I left the U.S of A I bought another pair of you to fit my unwelcomed tiny butt. At what point during your making did you, or your company, decided that it was a good idea to keep the butt the same size and only change the size of the waist and the thighs? I now look like I have a muffin top with a weird duck bill  looking thing going on in the back of my pants! You (all three of you!) and I will not be talking for sometime... enjoy my closet floor.

Once your friend,
Pamela

Hair

Since the last time I cut my hair really short I have been trying to grow my hair back out. Since it took me just about 20 years to find someone that cuts my hair amazingly and she lives in New Mexico I figured now would be the perfect time to let it REALLY grow out. Well I cannot remember the last time I have had my hair as long as I do now.

I can tell you this much I don't remember my hair being so heavy! haha I do remember being able to do a lot more with it when it was long but isn't that what everyone thinks about their hair at different lengths?? Any who with this humidity here I'm not sure how much longer I can keep my hair at this length...I won't lie I am afraid to get my hair cut out here. A friend of mine was getting her hair cut and the guy told her "Oh I've never gone to school for cutting hair." Keep in mind he told her this WHILE he was cutting her hair!! Eeep! I may just have to wait til I go back home and have Stacy cut my hair 

But I found some old pictures... Here is one when I went to Chicago,

 LOOK HOW LONG MY HAIR IS!?!?

 Keep in mind I have a pea coat on and a big ol' scarf because it was FREEZING in Chicago. 

I believe this was back in 2007...

This is how I want to cut my hair again... or do an a-line cut.... I guess I have time to decide considering I have no clue when we will get to go home to visit.

Hmmm.... Rene thinks I should cut my hair, but I think it's just because the ginger monsters have doubled in size since my hair is longer now. 

What is a ginger monster you may ask?? You know the hair that falls out of your head and it makes weird little knotted balls or sometimes you think they are bugs and they are really knots of your hair?? Well Rene calls them ginger monsters because they usually get caught up in all of his clothes when I do laundry. Actually they are usually everywhere haha.
