hair

So yet again, I am bored with my hair. I am considering dying my hair, blonde with a little black. I wish I could go a little more "crazy" but I don't think Northwestern is ok with colored hair. So I kinda wanna do my hair like Christina Aguilera, as pictured maybe just not so drastic. Also kinda like the random hair model picture. What do you think?

friday five

This was on my friend Kristine's blog, so I'll do it too, thanks Kristine!

**How’s your car running? Good
**How’s your blood pressure? Well last time I had it checked was 7 weeks after Hailey was born, and it was good.
**How’s work (or school)? School is good. I took a test today though, I'm not so sure I did so good on that one.
**How’s 2007 so far? Interesting
**How’s your hair? Eh, I'm never really completely satisfied with my hair, at least I haven't been for a while. I only really love it after I get it done at a salon, but I don't have an extra hundred bucks lying around.

frustration

There is something in my life that has been bothering me, a lot. That's as far as I'm going to go into it. I'm not sure what to do about it, but, if you have any ideas, it would be great if you could let me know.

23...I think

I have only 23 credits to complete until I graduate! (if my calcuations are correct) I have to take only a 2 credit Bible class, a PE class, 19th & 20th art history, graphic design 1 and 2, aesthetics, my internship, and an upper level art course. I can see the light at the end of the tunnel!! Sort of. Because of certain classes only being offered in the spring or fall, it is still going to take me longer than I would like to complete my 23 credits. But yay, I'm really almost done! That also means I'll be able to take lighter loads during semesters, which will be nice so I'll be able to focus more on Hailey. Here's to moving on with life!

Spring break

So most people get super excited about spring break because they have these awesome travel plans. Not I. No exciting plans. So...wanna hang out? Call me!

Update

I thought I'd update you all on Hailey. We took her in for her 6 month appointment on March 1st and she is a big kid! She weighed in at 19 pounds and is 28 inches tall, off the charts in both categories! She is also now sitting up on her own, with few tips backwards, sideways and forwards, but there is nothing like concrete learning! (We do put pillows around her or sit behind her) She also loves her jumper (thing that hangs from the door frame and she jumps in it) and thinks she is constantly in it (ask me about that later). Her hair hasn't fallen out, it has just kept growing and is now past her eyes. I need to find a way to keep that out of her hair without using barettes because they don't work because her hair is so fine. I don't want to cut it though, because I think little girls are cuter when they don't have bangs. I dunno, maybe a headband? We'll see. Anyways, she's growing and is adorable as ever!

theology

So, I'm taking Christian Theology and we're currently discussing the doctrine of predestination. Before taking this class I did not believe in predestination, well, if only in the Evangelical Arminian sense, as in, we are predestined only to the fact that God posseses the foreknowledge of our faith, or non-faith. But the professor is bringing up reformational/Prodestant predestination which says that God elects those to be saved and those to be damned not based on foreknowlege or merit, simply by choosing (in a VERY small nutshell). This I am struggling with big time. It goes against what I have believed in, or what I have believed God to be. I would also consider myself a Universalist to a degree in that I would like to believe that all God's decrees and actions are equal to all human kind. That Jesus came to the earth and died for all. But, reformational predestination is saying that Jesus only came to die for those predestined to live eternally with God (there is a verse in 1 or 2 John to support this). That I also struggle with. Why would God create someone only to damn them to Hell? This is something I must wrestle with, in the meantime, if you feel so inclined, leave a comment and tell me what you think.

woodcut

So, I bet you're wondering how you can kill 7 hours of your life. I have the answer. Large, extravagant woodcuts. I did mine in only 7 hours. Look at it.

In all reality, it was a pain to do, a literal physical pain. My neck hurts and so do my fingers and it took a LONG time to finish. But it looks kinda cool.
