In the Melting Snow


"One of the advantages of being disorderly is that one is constantly making exciting discoveries."
A.A.Milne, English Author (1882-1956)













Sleepy Kitty

*YAWN*
In an effort to put my internal clock back on schedule before work on Monday I'm up bright and early with the birds...
...no easy task when my beauty sleep was disrupted by rowdy boys at 3am,
and by boys I mean full grown men fresh in from the pub playing video games.
*sigh*
At least it's the holidays.
Something tells me I will be needing a nap before any New Years festivities tonight!


**warning: the following pictures are pre-makeup & mid decaf instant coffee**
(what was I thinking?!) 





 
oh! Sun sun glorious SUN!
All is not lost!
Perhaps on my adventure to the bank today I'll make an effort to take some new pictures to post :P

It's my birthday!!! :D



I could not resist sharing this birthday song...



Last night seemed like a good time to dye my hair.
So 3 bottle of bleach, 2 bottles of dye and 5 hours later (oh gawd) I have new hair.
Thankfully it turned out fairly well and I like it :P
