Avoiding the Hurricane

Morning/afternoon.

Tropical Storm/Hurricane Isaac has for all intents and purposes avoided Tampa thus far.  It's back to being  sunny and sticky outside. I think it's heading towards Louisiana next, on the anniversary of Hurricane Katrina. Can't New Orleans catch a break? I hope it misses the coast entirely.

I have officially begun my homework, it is a weird process getting back into things. I have spent the last 1.5+ years working with amazing Social Workers at Big Sister and on some level their level of passion and dedication to helping people really illuminated my career path. I can't wait to be their colleagues (again... this time with a degree).

I did dye my hair the other day, and I thought before and after shots would be weird to take, which they were so I avoided taking a before.

The picture on the left is the fill in for the before, obviously it's really windy so you can't see the whole thing, but you can see the epic roots going on. The one on the right, I just took, haven't yet brushed my hair but you get the picture. What I have learned about dying hair is its all about maintenance, and the jury is still out if its really worth it to me. Being able to do it by myself for a fraction of the cost is helping though!

Justin and I are headed to the store and we are taking Nala will us for the ride to the store. Here is a preview.

Talk to you soon!
