Happy Halloween!

I was, well, it's obvious. Argh, mateys.

Today I'm extremely frustrated that I'm mentally ill. Every step is hard. I had a great time at a baby shower, but now, sadly, I'm back to my real life, and I don't even want to eat candy (EEK!). I got a haircut as well - long overdue. You'd think these things would improve my mood, but no. It's not external, it's internal. The fight is on the inside - the fight is me fighting me. Stalemate, of course. I feel both stagnant and exhausted in this fight. Pushing as hard as we both can (me and me), and getting nowhere.

Back to the shower - girls are WAY more fun than boys! I wish I could tell my teenage boy-crazed self that. Not that I had so many boys, but I sure wished I did. We ate and ate (at least I did), and talked and talked, and LAUGHED SUPER HARD! I'm totally counting that as my workout.

We'll miss you Jamie! Stupid, lucky Seattle.

Your hair looks oh-so-porkupin-ey and cute! Not the same. Sometimes it's less spikey, less sassy! I like it. About the M.I., you can always seek refuge around the corner in the house of the girl who dreams of hatchets and cigarettes! While she's just as crazy, I've heard she makes good cookies!

Your hair is SO cute!

I love your hair. It's so you!

And the shower was great fun. I think we should have one once a month - whether there is a baby involved or not!

Cute hair (always)! and...oh crap! I knew I forgot something important today...the shower!! ARGH! Bummed that you are forced to fight your MI every day. If you are looking for a new hideout I have a large pile of clean clothes that you can bury yourself in (open invite). Oh, MI or not keep telling yourself that you look good...because girl, YOU DO!

Ditto, Ditto, Ditto on the hair... I so love it.... and the picture you posted is fabulous!!! You are lookin' gorgeous!!! I am talkin' about the one to the right... the pirate one is cute, wink wink, but I really like the one showing off the adorable new haircut and your to die for eyes!!! The shower was a blast.. I love how Sarah hit the nail on head about how no one wanted to leave and go back to what they had to do... basically back to life, ugh! It was great to laugh so hard that it counts as exercise!

Looks like I missed out on a great shower and a first-hand look at your new haircut. It's darling AND classy...

it was SO fun to chat with you at my shower...but it made me SO sad that we haven't gotten to know each other much better over this past year. anyway, i will miss you all and will definitely become a regular on your blog.

and to piggy back what everyone else has said about your hair--i think my compliment wins...tatum WILL have your hair when her bangs finally decide to grow out!
