Hmm... unless of course your'e a PhD student happily avoiding work the day before a meeting with your advisor...
Nevertheless!! It's been a busy week and a break was definitely required!
There's just something about the spring weather we've been having that inspired me to bring a little more color in my life... While the hot pink nail polish on my toes was an excellent start, it just wasn't quite enough...
So on a whim, I decided to add a little red to my hair! :) And the best part?? Katie and I convinced Kate to give it a shot, too!! (If you know Kate, and the fact that she has never before colored her hair, you will understand how thrilling this is... AND we didn't even have to make a decision matrix, venn diagram, or any other kind of statistical pros vs. cons tool!)

She was super nervous....
Ok so - the results:
I LOVE LOVE LOVE the way Kate's turned out!!! (And by the reactions I got at dance practice tonight, sounds like mine came out pretty good, too!) She's still really skeptical though but I'm hoping it's just the initial shock...
All of the excitement triggered a quick before-bedtime craft, as well.
With the ballroom competition coming up this weekend, I realized that I didn't really have any *bling* for my hair... But I DID have some rhinestones, little clips, and a hot glue gun!

The engineer in me had to come up with a way to maximize bling, while optimizing practical utility of the clipping abilities, and avoiding the whole gluing-it-closed issue...
I decided to just glue one edge of the rhinestone to the very top of only half of the clip - I contemplated each side of the clips but decided that it would probably be a little too hidden by my hair.

While the rhinestones may not have ended up completely centered and the glue-job might not be the prettiest, it definitely got the job done (and is secure enough that the stones won't fall off), and I'm sure no one will even notice from a distance!
