Bye Bye Gray Hairs

You read that right... GRAY hairs! I am only 24 for crying out loud. I thought this wasn't supposed to happen until your 30-40's. Somewhere down the line, I got the lovely gene of going gray early. And I'm talkin early! Like middle school early. I do have friends who can testify to spending 10-15 minutes in the bathroom with me pulling out my gray hairs between the ages of twelve to fifteen. Lucky me.

For those that don't believe me (because I get a lot of those) I took some pictures for evidence.

Today I went and got them all colored. :)

After:

A little darker and richer color. While we were at it I had my husband practice his photography skills and take some shots of my outfit. I was pleasantly surprised, he did a pretty good job. 

He told me to make my mirror face. Does anyone else have one of these? Every time Alex watches me put on my make up he makes fun of me because I purse my lips. I never noticed before.

 Most of his pictures did turn out good, aside from the following.

 "Really? You're taking a picture in front of the utility meters?"

That is him capturing me being attacked by a fly. Exactly what I wanted pictures of. Haha, Thanks babe.

O.M.G.

Yesterday when I came home from work this was waiting for me on my doorstep...

My husband in his slippers to the right.

Yep, I ordered the Ugg boots I wanted!! It is like christmas all over again! They were a little over my budget so I am just going to justify and say, they are an early birthday present and a late Christmas present, and I'm paying for part of them out of my own personal spending money (yeah, we have a budget for that).

Now you know how I've said that I am not a photographer? Well my husband really isn't one, like really really. This is our conversation while he was taking pictures of my boots (a lot of pictures at different angles like he is a professional).

Me: "Umm, babe? What are you doing?"

Alex: "I'm taking pictures"

Me: "Ok... But why are you kneeling down?" 

Alex: "I thought's how photographers did it?"

Me: "Ok. Well if you are going to take pictures on the floor at least make sure nothing ugly is in the background."

Alex: "It's fine. (a few seconds later) Oh wait... this one has a sock in it."

The picture above actually has a different sock in it that he failed to notice also. I think I was stepping on the first sock and it was clearly a focal point in the picture. I suppose it was somewhat my fault, but I wasn't necessarily modeling at this point, mostly just enamored with my shoes, so can you really blame me?

There you have it, my new boots :)

I'm still not totally set on keeping them, they were a little expensive, and I'm not sure I love them enough for the price that they were. We'll see. Maybe I will return them and get an awesome camera so I couldn't take bad pictures even if I wanted to. Or maybe I will get a Ninja (the blender). Or maybe I will wear them and realize that I love them. :)

Also as part of my goals for 2012, which I need to write a post about, one of my goals is to do more link up parties so these are the ones I'm linking up to.

Feel free to link up too! I'm going to try to do this every week.
