$15

This past Saturday I was able to escape the house all by myself for a couple of hours. I hadn't really planned on being gone long. The plan was to go to a used baby clothes sale at the DECC and then come home. Well, I did go to the sale but afterwards I got a tiny bit of 'me' time as well.

See back in May my family had a garage sale and from the money Josh and I made we put aside a small amount for clothes for me because I literally left most of my clothes in Korea when we left. Why did I do this? Well because when you only bring X amount of shirts to a place you end up wearing them over and over again and by the time we left they were all very worn and half didn't fit me anymore because I lost a little bit of weight, so therefore they got left behind. Also I just had a baby so any clothes that did fit me before don't really fit me now. I'm not over exaggerating, seriously, I have 5 shirts that I wear out in public, two of which I've had for years and years and one has holes in it that I always hope nobody notices. Any other shirts I wear around the house, mostly old maternity shirt, and hope that nobody knocks on my door and sees me (which someone did today and I was extremely embarrassed! lol!)  :) Anyway, just trying to give you an idea as to why we put this money aside for me. So then my birthday came along and a little more money got added to our little pool for me.

Then came along my kids growing and my husband needed clothes for work and that whole pool disappeared. Well, almost! I had spent $20 of the pool on a pair of pants and a sweater for me and after I went to the sale at the DECC and got Gabriel some 3T clothes (which he will be in soon... SAD! My baby is getting big!) I ended up with $15 left. I also had a gift card for Caribou Coffee from my birthday. So first, I went to Caribou Coffee in Canal Park and got myself a small turtle mocha and a blueberry muffin... HEAVEN!

I was about to go home and my head was hurting from my pony tail because I wear it up in one every single day because the last time I got my hair cut (sorry mom) it ended up being really crooked... so therefore, wearing my hair down is just not an option:) Then a thought came to me 'Kayla, you have $15 left, go get your hair fixed! You've been walking around with this bad haircut for 5 months, it's time to get it fixed!' and so I did! Believe me, I was so flippin' excited to get my $15 hair cut! LOL! I know, I'm nuts and that's ok! My hair dresser took her time and made sure my hair was even and what I wanted and Great Clips isn't exactly known for that. I half expected my hair to still be crooked when I walked out, I was just hoping for not as crooked as before:) But I spent over an hour in that chair and enjoyed every minute of it! My hair dressers exact words were 'well, I figured you've been walking around with a bad hair cut for that long you deserve one that is perfect'. Now, my hair isn't anything special, I really just got a trim and some layers but whatever, I don't care, I'm still excited about it and now I can wear my hair down if I want too!
