decisions made

So i am freaking sick of my light brown highlights in my front.

reasons why:
1. It looks like sh*t!!
2. i have to keep retouching it every 2 weeks! SH*T!!
3. the bleach burned off some of my hair so i have these freaking frizzles in the front it looks like crazy baby hair.
4. i HATE it. I have NOOO idea what i was thinking when i decided to highlight it... it was 2am and i was sick of my hair and felt like i needed a change.

so this is my attempt to dye it back to black, which DID turn out great, it looked like i never tried to highlight it in the first place.

one night extravaganze SHORT post

so my friend Jody got a crazy great deal and was able to get 6 rooms at the radisson hotel so she gave em to us to enjoy! so this is a really short post because i forgot to get all details and crap. but thus here so far

our suites had their own living rooms and lil dining room area

introducing Aaron and Jody. Destined to get married i hope. Help me ask the
Lord to have them get married, i wanna be a bridesmaid hehehe

the radisson suite hotel beds. They're sleep number beds!! we were looking around
the bed because there was a hose sticking out of it, then we realized that they were
sleep number beds... which im not too much of a fan... it just inflates and/or deflates with air
which actually made my back ache the next morning because. so imagine sleeping on a air mattress.
But the pillows were SUPER cozy!!! i wanted to take them home but controlled myself.

from left to right: Christie, Yuki, Jody and ME!

we waited around a bit and then got super hungry and ended up at:

85 degrees! best bakery EVER!!! they have a LARGE variety of baked goods from exotic to normal like
from squid ink bread to cheese bread, and they are all freaking awesome.

After that we were still hungry so we headed to eat korean bbq which i was so occupied with eating that i didnt get a chance to document but it was DELISH!!!

After we were done eating, we just came back and played cards and showered cause we all reeked of meat
