[and now... the rest of the story]

Okay, so maybe Dustyn shaving his hair into a mohawk was a little out of character.
Maybe, just maybe there is a little more to the story.
Maybe there is a reason he went from this:

to this:

But honesty, I really do not mind this:

at. all.
I most definitely think I have one handsome husband.

So it all started with Dustyn's school doing Giving it Back.
The students do various activities and fundraisers to raise money for a family in the community that has gone through a difficult time or two and would benefit from the help a little extra money. (you can read more about this years family here.) It is an awesome program and the students really get a lot out of it.

Before they start the fundraising, the faculty and student council members pledge certain things in order to motivate the students to raise more money.
One male teacher pierces his ear.

At least one teachers is duct taped to the wall.

There is a limbo competition.

An elixir of death.

 And many various other activities.

All in all it is a lot of fun.

Dustyn decided to change things up and do something different this year. I jokingly said you should bic your head. The decision was made and he made his pledge. For $5000.00 he would be the new Mr. Clean.

A few weeks later, Katie and I were talking about how hot this guy is:

Swoon.

So I teased Dustyn... maybe you should get a mohawk.

He agreed.

I was scared. Very scared.

So the day came.

I was nervous. I mean... my 33 year old husband was going to actually really have a mohawk. Are you serious? I just might be married the the geek of the west here soon. Could he really pull it off? I won't lie. I surely didn't think so.

Well...

He so can.

I am so bummed that it will be gone soon.


Sad, sad day.
(there is always summer, right?)

And sadly for the rest of the week he has it (he said he'd keep it for an entire week if they raised over $100 at the assembly), he can't spike it for school. Sad.

And he's so much hotter than any dude in a high school singing club.
with or without the mohawk.

Dude, my husband totally rawks the mohawk.
and just in case you wanna see a few more photos:

and that my friends, is the rest of the story.

My Day... in the name of boredom.

My beautiful view everyday!

Happy to be sweating!

Oh... maybe not. 

Anything to keep cool.

But apparently nothing works.

Who knows.

Don't dare wear my ring, but who doesn't love a wal-mart temporary replacement?

I'm lame. Oh... and bored.

My best friend.

I loves it.

Mmm.... my grandpa and grandpa brought me a drink today. So nice!

I try and try to give out pass-along cards, sadly no one wants them.
This is me pouting.

More random thoughts be me.

~Tonight I was in charge of Personal Progress in Young Womens.   It went pretty well.  I have a hard time coming up with activities to pass off goals.  I'm pretty much a crappy Personal Progress Leader.  By the way - if anyone was wondering. . . Personal Progress is a program in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints (aka Mormons) for the Young Women (ages 12-18).  It helps them learn valuable life lessons and keeps them thinking about their spirituality in hopes that when the time comes to make a decision they will have guidelines in place to help them make the best decision.  

~It seems like there is always someone turning around right in front of our house.  It kinda weird.  I don't know if it is the widest part on the street or what.  But it is right where everyone chooses to either turn around or park and look at their map (I guess).  Weird.  

~Verizon is irritating me.  :P  I am so ready to cancel our plan.  So ready.  We bought new phones.  Dustyn's broke within a week.  We called and they were going to send a replacement.   We got the replacement and they had sent it for my number.  My phone sucks and I don't really like it (it is SOOOO slow and freezes all the time), so I didn't really want another one.  :)  Anyways we call Verizon to see if they could change the phone to Dustyn's number and of course they said they couldn't.  (Which turns out is a lie).  So they tell us to send it back.  But the phone is out of stock.  Well they upgraded him to a Palm of some type.  Well that is great.  But now they are not sending it to him.  They just want him to use another phone.  No one will call us back.  We asked to not be charged all the plan fees for Dustyn's phone for the month (yes, he has been without a phone for almost a month) and they thought they were SO nice and gave us a $10.00 credit.  Oh.  Thanks.  Lame.  It's all just a huge mess.  If there were another good service provider around here, I'd switch.  But of course, there's not.  

~Seems like everyone around here is getting cold.  Even me.  Grrr....  I can't be sick yet.  I mean I still have another week of summer left.  Hello?  

~I can not find anywhere in my living room to hang the picture that Dustyn got me for my birthday.  I want it in my living room, but I don't know where.  For now it's sitting on my mantle and might be there for some time.  

~Our house has been so hot lately.  Luckily tonight it has cooled off a lot.  It did rain a little bit so that helped a lot.  I don't know if I can handle another summer without central air or a swamp cooler.  Guess I better start saving up.  

~Does anyone watch Big Brother.  I have been quite entertained in this season.  I still haven't picked out a favorite to win.  It changes weekly.  But I think if the house was smart, they would get rid of Memphis this week, otherwise he has a good chance to win it.  But Jessie does drive me crazy.  He seriously only thinks about himself.  And I am so tired of looking at his muscles.  Blah.  I wonder which it will be.  Oh and Michelle.  Was she mad or what?  She for sure does not like the Leotard as much as Jenn from Season 8.  Ha ha ha.  Speaking of season 8.  Michelle reminds me so much of Amber, except she cries a LOT less.  Keesha reminds me of Danielle in a way.  There are so many similar people in the two seasons.  I am totally loving it.  I loved season 8.  I know, I am easily entertained.

~I am so excited for the adoption conference.  Yay!  There are going to be some great workshops.  We are leaving Thursday afternoon.  If anyone wants to hang out Thursday night, we'll be around.  Email me and I will send you my phone number.  Of course Dustyn won't have a phone by then.  Grrr.....

~I finally found Breaking Dawn.  It was the last one on the shelf at our local Wal-Mart.  There weren't any last time we went.  I have heard a lot of mixed reviews about this book.  I am excited to read it to see what I think.  But I don't know when I will actually read it.  I might save it for when school starts so I have something to read while I am subbing.  I want to read a lot more books this year.  I read quite a few last year, but I stopped after the Twilight series.  I just couldn't find anything to capture my attention.  I hope to keep my library a little more busy this year.  

~I so need to scrub my kitchen floors.  I want to do it, but I am stalling because our house is so hot.  When I clean I get so so hot and sweat to death.  But it has to be done.  I just need to clean up the kitchen and the bathroom and my house will be clean for school to start.  I wanted to get everything caught up so that I wouldn't get behind when I started working more.  

~I can not believe school starts in two weeks from today.  Dustyn starts next week.  Of course we will be spending a lot of time at the school trying to get everything ready.  We have 20 something computers to get set up and posters to hang.  Plus a million other things!  :)  Time to get busy I guess.

~I so need to get to running/exercising.  Usually I lose weight during the summer.  I think I have gained 10 pounds in the past few weeks.  (I had been around the same weight for 2 years, until now.  :P) I don't even feel like I am eating too bad or too much, but apparently I am not doing something right.  I just wanna lose 30 pounds!  That would get me to my pre-marriage weight.  Wouldn't that be awesome?  :)  Now I just need to do it.  I have been getting some healthy recipes lately through a program that my Insurance Company does.  If you wanna see them, I have been posting them on the Anything Cooking blog.  I need to start riding my bike again!

~Well I think that is enough random thoughts for the moment.  Have a fabulous evening.  (Or afternoon for Heather.)

Sometimes I wonder . . .

Why I even bother. Golly.

Why on earth do I even try to do my hair in the summer?
Why on earth do I spend over an hour or two blow drying and straightening it, just to have it frizzy.
Why on earth do I make myself feel like I am in a sauna IN THE MIDDLE OF SUMMER!

It seems like when I do decide to straighten my hair (rarely these days) I end up spending two hours, and I am never happy with it. So why, oh why do I even try? And then add to the fact that as i am blow drying it and straightening it, I am sweating bullets. I mean dying. *I am currently sitting in front of the fan trying to get my scalp to dry. blah* By the time I get done with my hair, it's time for another shower.   So there is not even any chance I can consider using the hairdo for a second day.  Seriously.  

My hair use to straighten a lot easier.  Maybe I need a new Chi.  Or something.  Or a deep conditioning.

These are the questions I ask myself every time I decide that I like my hair straight. It may not look fabulous curly, but my day does go a little better. :P

Off to finish my mess of hair.  Why, oh why.  

It's TAX day!

Luckily we always get our taxes done like the first week in February, so today is just another day for us.  But last night we finally caved and went and spend some of our tax return.  Apparently our savings account is just too easy to get into!  But look at our new toys!!  Yay!!

Except ours is pewter, but I couldn't find a picture of the one we actually have - and I am not at home...

This will make my summer MUCH more enjoyable.  The fan we had previously quit working about 2+ years ago.  It's been hot.  This fan is super nice!  It reverses to circulate air in the winter and the summer!  And it has a remote.  Nice!  I hope this one last longer than the last.  We installed it last night.  On the lowest setting it works so well!  And is so quiet.  It's huge, it seemed a LOT smaller in Home Depot.  Ha ha.  I know, I am FAR too excited about a ceiling fan!  lol

We also got a screen door!  Yay!  It's just one that you can use when you need it and when you don't need it, it rolls back into the side.  I didn't want to put a big ugly screen on my door.  I like my black door too much.  In fact it is the only part I do like on the exterior of our house!  :)

So that is our excitement on tax day! 

 (I won't tell you about the other financially smart decision we made yesterday.  Ha ha.  We are allowed to play a little, right?)  ;)
