IPhone Users Beware!


Jake (4 yrs) has had a love affair with our IPhones since we purchased them a few months ago.  There are lots of free kids games you can download from the many applications available.  I started noticing that he was pretty obsessed with playing them pretty early on.  Jake has an obsessive personality like his daddy which is definitely not a bad thing.  It makes for a pretty smart individual, but it can be bad in certain areas.  This is why I am hesitant to get a gaming system i.e. the Wii or a Leapster for our home.  I know we can have "screen time", and all that business, I just don't know if I am up for the battle.  Anyway, we have noticed that some of the games on the iphone have ads that come along with them.  We have been watching Jake very closely while he is playing, but the other day a questionnaire came up that asked "Are you a flirt, yes or no?"!  Really!  It's a kids game.  Needless to say, there will be no more playing games on our phones.  No telling what will come up when we aren't looking.  CRAZY that we have to think about that while our child is playing a matching game!  The handheld leapster is looking a lot better right about now.  But, it's going to take a lot of convincing for me!

MY LOVELY HAIR!


A couple of weeks ago I went to get my hair colored like I do every couple of months.  Well, let me just say it was not what I was expecting this time.  My friend Meredith does my hair, and she is really good at it I might add.  But, I had been complaining that my hair has been turning gold couple of weeks after I have it done.  Yes, I am a complainer when it comes to my hair.  Sometimes, I feel like my hair is the only thing I have left.  I am getting wrinkles, some cellulite, and I still have a slight cupcake over my jeans even though my baby is 2 1/2 so my hair is my staple.  I know that is so stupid and blah, blah, blah, but I can be dramatic that way.  Anyway, so Meredith decided to try something different this time to cut the brassy look I was getting after a couple of weeks.  Well, this is what it turned out like....RED/PINK!!!  Oh my, it was hilarious!  She stripped a lot of it out, but it was still there.  So, instead of doing another highlight over it and breaking my hair off, I decided to opt with brown for a few weeks.  Yes, I said it BROWN!  I haven't had brown hair since I was pregnant with Jake and was so psycho that I wouldn't color it.  All that being said, it really hasn't been bad.  I still have a few highlights in it, and it has lightened up quite a bit after washing it.  But, I will be going back blonde in a few days.  Brown hair, it has been fun  but I will be leaving you again!  I don't think I will go back to my really blonde days, but blonde is where I will stay!  I know this is crazy and so superficial, but sometimes a girl just gets that way about certain things.  My thing is my hair.  Don't hate me for it!!!
