Ah, The Beauty of Blogging While, Er...Intoxicated

I'm working on another "Working it Out" post, but jeez...those take a lot of effort and sometimes I just want to chat with you.

So, tonight you get an "Elisa's been sipping the gin and is maybe, probably a little intoxicated" post. Which also means you get a list, because that's not too complicated.

1) I got my hair cut. Thank merciful Jesus.

I had this stupid idea to grow my hair out. I get that stupid idea every couple of years. But really? I'm just cuter with short hair. And the only reason I ever grow my hair out in the first place is to put it in a ponytail, and that's just no reason at all. So - chop chop and bye bye stupid long(ish) hair. I feel like my old sassy self again.

2) I took the dogs to the dog part tonight and Zorro got chased around by a wee little girl dog who was in heat. I tried to feel bad for him, but...mostly I just laughed.

3) On Friday we tried to go to the Farmer's Market in Old Town Clovis but they don't seem to want pets there (obviously no one in charge has ever met Zorro). We ended up having dinner with the doggers on the patio of a restaurant we like and the dogs were great. And also cute. And charming. And then some friends joined us for beer and the evening went from fun to perfect just that quick.

4) My doggers are both sleeping right now and I should be too.

5) I kind of feel like a grown up because my refrigerator was making a scary noise and I googled it and found out that it wasn't a scary noise at all - just a defrosty noise. I'm proud of myself for not just up and buying a new refrigerator (which was my first reaction to the scary noise).

6) I'm still not dieting. I'm eating tasty-ass food (seriously - TASTY ASS FOOD) and I've lost 10 lbs.

7) I also realized that I love strength training. There are few things as awesome as feeling your body get stronger. I love every second of every bicep curl I do. They're like magic.

8) Allie is laying close to me right now, dreaming. She dreams with her eyes open and her tongue sticking out. It's the cutest thing ever. Or at least I think so. Mike thinks it's creepy. :)

9) Speaking of Mike - he's traveling again. It makes me sad, but luckily this contract is only 4 days a week, so he leaves on Sunday and come home Thursday. It could be worse. I still miss him a lot though. And all of the time.

10) When are you coming to visit me? No, seriously, when?

xoxo,
E

I love your hair -- super cute! And congrats on eating good food and the weight loss! It's very inspiring!

I'm lovin on your new hair cut. I do the same thing...grow to cut. I'm craving a boy cut this summer, but I'm just a wee bit chicken to do it! I should remember my own mantra: it's just hair; it will grow back!

Your hair looks super cute! I'm wondering about the ponytail thing myself... what's the point of growing out your hair for a ponytail from it being short enough not to need one cause your hair's not smothering your neck? And not hanging in your face?

(And by "your" of course I mean "my")

I had been thinking about a visit sometime this year, but that's been shot out of the water. At this point I'm aiming for sometime after kid #1 and before kid #2 (you know, fingers crossed and all).

Tasty foods! Healthier! Yeah!

I love the new hair. I've been craving a cut too, but I think I may look better with the longer hair, I just don't know how to do it so I just pull it back all the time.

Would it be wierd to visit if we've never met in real life? Somehow, I think Oscar has got to meet Allie and Zorro some day . . .

I am definitely thinking of a short haircut. Yours is cute. Inspiration for good food and strength training....thanks!

Hey, we're heading out to CA in a little over a month, and I hope we can meet. I want to kiss the puppers (and maybe hug you; we'll see how hot it is that day).

I love your haircut; I finally had mine cut week before last after ignoring it far too long. I told the woman I wanted it short, but no one ever believes me. Finally, I said, "You cannot get it TOO short. It grows fast." and she did what I want.

I'm all in favor of blogging while intoxicated. It's fun, and I forget what I write, so it's almost like reading someone else's blog the next day. Then I delete what I wrote because it was so out there.

And blogging while intoxicated and after taking Ambien gets really interesting.

I am so with you about the hair thing! I find when my bangs get long enough to have bits in my eyes, I start to feel insane, like there are ants crawling on me or something. So I'll trim the bangs, but as they get longer again, it is time TIME TIME to get the full haircut. Short baby! Love it! I sometimes blog like that...

[Chris]

Your hair is most excellently cute! I'm giggling about the crazy girl dog wanting to jump Zorro's bones!

[not really Lois]

We should all get drunk on gin and get our hair cut - especially if that's the result. Super Duper!

Cute, cute hair!
