Updates: 2014 is Full of Changes

Since the Ultimate Blog Party is tomorrow, I'm going to go ahead and do my usual Friday confessions and update post today instead!

My So-Called Chaos: Personal
I confess.. I got a hair cut!  I was desperately wanting some change and so I thought I'd go short-but I was scared.  So, I pinned a bunch of cuts I thought were cute and showed them to my stylist, but told her to do what she thought was best.  I LOVE it.

I confess... I'm bummed that I can't get it to look like the stylist did.  I blow-dried and flat-ironed it and it didn't even come close!  It was all frizzy and dry looking.  Though it looks better today, it's all wavy!

I confess... The roommate got his official email the day before yesterday.  He is moving to Canada!  I'm so excited for him.  He's wanted out of Utah (and the country) for so very long and he's off to pursue his dreams of obtaining an MFA at a very prestigious french-speaking school in Edmonton.  It's a fantastic opportunity as they only take five students a year for it.  

Now I have to figure out what I'm going to do.  While I know that I'm going to miss him like crazy-I'm ready for this new change in life.  I'm definitely going to live alone for a while as I don't think I want another roommate... Actually the next person I live with will be someone I'm in a relationship with hopefully, but even that is a long way off.  Do I stay in the apartment I'm in now?  It's affordable and spacious-but the drive to work is pretty long and it doesn't even have a real door (seriously, they're made of cardboard) so I worry about living alone there... Do I move?  Moving is SUCH a hassle and I could shorten the drive (though I seriously love my location) and possibly find something even cheaper... What am I going to need to buy to replace when he takes his stuff?  All I know now is that I'd better start saving and living like I'm paying full rent-gotta curb my spending big time! 

In any case, I'm SUPER excited for Josh and for the new opportunities we'll both have!  I need to get my Passport going! 

My So-Called Chaos: The Roommate

I confess... We've been having friends over every Wednesday night to watch RuPaul's Drag Race.  Last night Julie came (we haven't seen her in forever) and brought her dog Ruby.  Ruby is a boozehound.  Or, a winoreimer.  She whines and whines when you have wine-she wants it so bad!

I confess... March was mostly rainy and gorgeous... But April has been cold and snowy so far.  Lame.

My So-Called Chaos: School Updates
I confess... I have a French test tonight and I haven't studied... Guess I know what I"ll be doing for my lunch break today.

I confess... I decided not to take Summer classes this year since Josh is moving and I want to help him move to Canada and not worry about missing classes.  But I did sign up for Fall semester and had to rearrange my work schedule for my French class.  I'm going to take French 2010, Math (ew), and Zumba.

My So-Called Chaos: Goodies
I confess... After seeing Jenna's review of St. George and questioning why I'd never worn it yet, I decided to put it on.  I can't even look away, look at this stunner!

I confess... I spent a lot of money recently.  My hair appointment was recently supposed to be Sunday but she was sick, so I went shoe shopping instead.  I found these adorable skully flats (my old ones are pretty worn) and these moccasins on sale at target!  Score!  I also picked up some new games and accessories for my 3DS.

I confess... I got what might be my last Julep box-gotta start saving.  I loved this one a lot though.  If you're interested in trying Julep out sign up through my affiliate link!  They have really high quality stuff-look how pretty!

My So-Called Chaos: Health Updates

I confess... I've been totally slacking on health.  BUT I am working on cooking more and my goal has been to buy one thing I've never cooked before each time I go shopping.  I've been on a squash kick.

My So-Called Chaos: Online Updates

I confess... The Ultimate Blog Party is tomorrow!

I confess... I'm thinking of a big birthday giveaway this month, what would you like to see?

My So-Called Chaos: Work Updates

I confess... Same old same old at work.  We went to Sushi with some coworkers last week and had a genius idea on the way back.  Our coworker Kyle (who did not join us) likes to surprise attack people by sending them a wav file that plays the Friday song when you open it.  It's cruel.  So we left him a little note to be funny:
