Dear Blog,




Here is my new haircut. I really couldn't stand my long hair anymore so this is what happened. I told the girl that I wanted to donate. She said I needed 10 inches and I said okay take what you need. So she did and then KEPT CUTTING. I think she cut another two inches off. Oh well, at least it grows back. Its taken a little while but its grown on me...no pun intended, no actually I think I meant the pun. :) Anyway here are some pictures.

Dear Blog,

Well so much for getting a blog written once a month since being married. I almost did on last month but decided I was too tired. Oh well here I am now....

Maybe that's why I have blogged anything cause there really isn't much going on here. James finished his student teaching and school in December. With straight A's, I might add. I think we are both really glad that that part of our life is over. Now James spends his time looking for a job, studying for the Praxsis* and being a wonderful stay at home husband by doing the little bit of cleaning and laundry. For his birthday and Christmas last year I got him software for improving his typing skills and a software to create music. He loves to write poems and music and so he has also been tinkering with both of those, now that I finally put them on the computer. :)

*For those of you who do not know what the Praxsis is, it is the test James has to pass to get his teaching certificate. In my mind it's kinda like the LSAT except for teachers.

Well as for me nothing much has changed. I'm still working at Staples. I did find out that because I work at staples I get 21% off my Verizon bill and 25% off accessories. Which is totally awesome! I also got a new AIO (All In One) Printer, Copier, Scanner, Fax. This is because I got a totally awesome deal and because I needed a new scanner because when I moved into our (James' and I's) apartment I lost the power cord to the scanner I had. Not exactly sure how that happened but oh well. As a result I finally got something I wanted for a long time and at a super saving too! The AIO was originally 149.99 on sale for 99.99 then since it was on the end of the fiscal year for staples they had out a 15% off entire purchase so that knocked it down to 85.00 and I had a rewards check for $45 which made my end price $40! Heck Yeah. I also got a software called Print Artist (kinda like print-shop but better) that was on clearance for $14.90 that had a $20 rebate on it. We shall see if I'll get the rebate back not sure, but I sent out for it anyway. If I get the rebate for $20 I've made $5.10! But I wouldn't care if they only sent me the price I paid! I've also been having tons of fun with that! I love it. I think even if I don't get the rebate for the software it was totally worth the $14.90 I paid.

We did get our tax refund back and it was AWWEESOME! Thank goodness for that. We can pay off some debt get a few extra things and actually have a good amount in savings! Thank you Uncle Sam.

I really want to get a family blog going. No I'm not pregnant but I've been wanting one since we got married cause this one is supposed to be my opinions or whatever but I think it would be fun for us to have a different one. James actually has one to but he made it for school and hasn't used it in over a year. Oh well. Stay tuned...

Well I should get to eating breakfast. I'm starting to feel a little sick. Thank you my few blog followers. I hope I entertain you in some way! Until next time!
