3 day week (Thank goodness)

I would like to start off by saying thank goodness this is a three day week. Even though I had Monday off due to Veterans day, I feel like this week has just drug on forever. I have field day photos on Wednesday so I decided to re dye my hair to color correct it and make my roots and end of my hair match, got the dye, and then got groceries. How come when your going to get one or two things i'm bombarded by annoying overly helpful employees but when I go shopping by myself and pile one of those hand held baskets full holding down the gallon of milk with my chin not a single employee flexes a muscle in my direction to assist me. At least Roxanne was there to carry my pen and list. I know some of you are thinking I would have gone with you and pushed a cart, but honestly I would like store employees to do their job and help me I don't want to be a burden on someone who isn't getting paid to help. I tend to be a slow shopper because I always end up buying things that are not on my list. Anyway back to my story.....
So after my grocery adventure, I had to carry all of the stuff to my front door (my least favorite part). rested for a bit then decided to use the hair dye I had bought. So Sunday after getting to see my parents on Saturday and as my mom would say I got put back together, I dyed my hair. The box said medium to dark brown, I figured this was ok because when it faded my natural root color may actually match the rest of my hair. However....The box lied.....and now my hair is BLACK! NO Joke. yay me. So much to my dismay I have been washing it with the cheapest shampoo I can buy trying to get the color to tone down. I had mixed reactions today, someone said they loved it, someone else said I can't believe you died your hair that color, and someone else was like I guess it looks OK . Gee people thanks for making me feel awesome I feel bad enough that I know my hair stands out like a sore thumb. And need I remind you I have pictures on Wednesday. Yay me! so although I am disappointed with my hair, it is growing on me. Hopefully the pictures don't turn out too horrible. My saying for the week this too shall fade.
On a plus side Im looking forward to my horse lesson on Thursday because last week was amazing. My mare was actually in a good mood because.....she was given a friend in her pasture.....Horses are so weird Have a great week everyone! Happy Tuesday.

Highlights of my week

This last week was crazy, I had so much stuff going on I felt looking back- how did I even manage to get all of that done in that amount of time? I applied for a job with a complete Job portfolio, which hopefully I will get when I graduate. Gave two back to back presentations for a professor and college about Roxanne, our bond and Canine Companions for Independence. Gave My dog a bath on Thursday so hopefully she would be clean for the Fresno State FFA Cotton Contest on Saturday. Got a hair cut, and the Hair stylist was afraid of my dog, I've confronted this a lot. On Halloween I only got four trick or treaters. All four were afraid that I had a dog in the house. I had to toss them there candy. I don't know where this hysteria is coming from. On a happy note, a family came up to me in the parking lot and I helped this disabled gentlemen apply for a CCI Service dog on his laptop right there by my car! I LOVE it!
I am happy to say through all the crazy errands and trying on 12 pair of khaki pants my week ended awesome. I found khakis I can tolerate (no one likes them anyway) hosted with my committee members the Cotton Contest and we had no issues, except for the caterer forgetting the ranch dressing. At an ag event that is like gold. So needless to say we had some upset kids in blue corduroy. The event Started for me about 3 in the morning and was at breakfast by 6am, school by 7 and the day continued until about 3 in the afternoon.
Sunday I attempted to complete Homework some of it was so confusing, im bringing it to class to ask because I hate when you try to do something, do it wrong and then end up learning it the wrong way. I cleaned the house the best I can, among all the dog hair.
And now onto Monday! Have a great week, and always thank you for reading!
