Hi friends! I have just been in SUCH a wonderful mood lately with the biggest smile plastered across my face, and I'm going to just keep riding this wave for as long as I possibly can!
Last week, I went on a little vacation to Florida! I needed an escape, just a little break from life after going through a pretty rough last six months of treatment.. and I really wanted to do something fun before my big surgery that is coming up August 27th. My partner and I got a little condo in Kissimmee for a few days and we spent two days, from sun up 'till sun down, at Universal Studios and Islands of Adventure. Even though it was SO DAMN HOT OUT and we got rained on a couple times (like some SERIOUS rain too, we were absolutely drenched) We had an absolute blast!! We kept ourselves cool with frozen mixed drinks we grabbed from a stand at City Walk that were extreeemely strong. I was borderline drunk after two frozen margaritas! We rode every single ride, many of them twice! I was pretty darn impressed with myself that I lasted that long in the heat, considering I'm on a ton of meds right now as well as Zoladex treatment in preparation for my upcoming surgery, all of which can cause pretty extreme fatigue as well as a whole list of other unpleasant side effects, but I actually did great! After each long day, we went back to our room, ordered a shit load of garlic knots and pizza for delivery, and just pigged out in our gigantic, comfy bed that had about 10 pillows (which I was STOKED about, I sleep with about 6 pillows every night, and love having an abundance of pillows) with the air turned to down to about 60 degrees to freeze us out after sweating all day, and snuggled up under all the layers of thick, cozy comforters. It was seriously HEAVEN!!
A couple days after going to the parks, we made our way towards the Gulf of Mexico to stay with my partner's dad who lives there. He surprised us and took us to The Everglades to go on an airboat ride! It was SO COOL! Have any of you ever been on an airboat before? I absolutely loved it. That was one of my favorite parts of our trip.
I had the best time, this trip really couldn't have gone any better! Even though I had a blast, I could not wait to get home to my pups after being away from them for a week! I'm so used to having them by my side just about 24/7, it was a lot harder for me than I anticipated to be away from them for that long, and I missed them sooo damn much! I decided that from now on, when we go on vacation, we're driving so we can take them with us!!! Haha!
In other news!!!....
I did a little something!!! I ditched the brightly colored hair and went black and I absolutely LOVE LOVE LOOOVE IT!!!! I have been wanting to do this for SO LONG, but I was afraid of making the commitment, and also afraid it would make me look washed out/sick (Because I actually AM sick and can look pretty pale sometimes. I ran into that problem with a few colors I did last year and didn't like at ALL how unhealthy it made me look- I am extreeemely self-conscious about looking "sick"). BUT, I finally just said "fuck it!" and went for it. Honestly, I couldn't be happier! I don't think it washes me out at all, in fact, quite the opposite! I feel like it really makes my skin tone (and my freckled nose) really stand out, as well as brings out my natural glow. I'm so so so happy that I finally just did it!! I definitely think the raven hair is here to stay for quite some time. What do you think of me with black hair?!
