Can I hear a "whoop whoop" for dark auburn? That's my new color. I don't know yet if I like it as it's quite darker than my old red color but it is red still. And I also have shorter bangs this time. I'm trying them out. Like a test drive. Just a little bit of little bangs for a little while. We will see. If I come back from TCX and still think my hair is too dark, then Jen (my stylist ... not Jenn Edwards) said she'd put highlights in for free. So tomorrow is Christmas Eve which is scary to think about. I can't believe it's almost Christmas already. Although it feels like I've been out of school forever. Maybe that's because it's been two weeks since I was in class. But I am excited about next semester, mostly because I am excited about my new prayer room (former closet). That's right, I am resurrecting one of my favorite parts of summer project: a 24/7-ish prayer room. I just need someplace where I can go to get away to pray and do my God time and so viola! My extra closet is no longer my kitchen! Dana even asked if she can come in and use it and I was like "but of course". I'm really excited to decorate it. I already have some stuff and school and I am squirrelling away stuff here at home to steal back with me to school. I found a map of the world the other day .... where was that ... oh yeah, in a national geographic book. Seriously, my room may become the "map room" since I already have a bunch of maps up. I'm such a geek. My family is crazy, have I mentioned that recently? Because they are ... nuff said. you know you love me ;) especially as a redhead
