Hair Issues...

About a month ago Justin and I were out grocery shopping and I decided to pick up a bottle of hair dye to get the left over blonde from the summer back to it's natural color. Justin convinced me to get a darker color because he saw a picture of me in high school with dark hair and thought it would look "hot"... so I did. I thought it would turn out close to his color but nope! It's Almost black!!! I was almost in tears as I blow dried it. It's faded a little but still, I just cant get used to it. So on Friday, I'm going to get it fixed. I can't wait!

American Idol...

Tonight was the American Idol kick off. Pretty funny stuff. It's so odd to me that some of these people think they are actually talented... or do they?? I always wonder which of these people are just a little desperate for their five minutes of fame and which have liars for friends. One chick even went to the extreme of wearing a bikini to the audition! That girl was nuts. Ryan thought so too hands down. I guess it is worth the hour of entertainment it provides us every week. Justin laughs his head off. Thank you weirdos. There were however a couple of AI wannabe's that I think were there for the right reasons and had some working vocal chords. One girl, I think her name is Adrianna, competed with my sister in the Miss California competition a few years ago. She sounded really good. Especially for being so young. I actually tried out this season in Salt Lake but didn't make it through. I wonder which category I fall under!

And he's out...

Its about 11pm on Friday night and I'm wide awake. Justin is out cold in bed with the movie "Elf" playing on the tube. Since I'm not tired, I thought Id play around on the computer for a bit (after going through mail, emptying trash, folding laundry, etc...) We went out to dinner and saw a movie a little earlier and I guess that was as much as the guy could handle after working all day. 

Since we got married there have been quite a few nights like this. I quit my job before the big day thinking that I'd start teaching again, but as it turns out... there are lots of music teachers in the area and students aren't as easy to find as I thought they would be. So Justin is making most the dough and I've sorta become a house wife. At first I loved it. It was nuts to wake up in the morning and be able to sit down and eat breakfast and read for a bit, go to the gym, just whatever. I started practicing every day and everything seemed great! But after a while I found myself counting down the minutes till he got home. I started feeling lonely during the day and for the first time in a long time I felt bored. I used to daydream at work about what it would be like to be bored. Now I find myself missing work! What's wrong with me??!! I told Justin the other day I wanted a baby just so there was someone around to talk to, lol. He said that was a dumb reason to have a baby and I suppose he is right.  I need to get more involved in the community I think. Start writing again, pick up some of my hobbies and interests I set aside when I entered the grown up world.

Normally this wouldn't bother me. When we were dating/engaged, i worked full time and later than he did so he had time to take a nap until I got off work and we could relax together. Now, I can't wait for him to get home every day and by then I'm ready to go out and talk, talk ,talk and he is ready to rest. But don't get me wrong. I always have things to do. Just not like I used to. I think I'm just having a hard time adjusting to all the change. Its hard to find a balance but I guess I should feel lucky I'm married to someone that takes care of me. :)
