Taking Risks

"Swim out to the ocean. Drown your thoughts out at sea and dip your hands in the water, the same deep water as me." - I Am Kloot

Another very long day. I didn't get in until 9pm. I worked a full day and then went to the salon to get a much needed hair color and cut. I told my stylist I wanted something different. So instead of bon fire, he gave me rocket fire. Rocket fire sounds more fun, don't you think? Rocket fire is definitely more red. I really loved it in the salon, but once I got home, I felt differently. This always happens, though. For one thing, I never like how my hair looks right after it's cut. I really start liking it about a week later. It just looks too polished right now, if that makes sense. I hope it's not fire red in the sunlight. I'm scared to wake up and look at it in the morning. LOL!

I got my pap smear results in the mail today, and it said my pap smear was atypical, but not precancerous. So, I have to go back in 6 months and have another pap smear. Great, I'm just thrilled about that! :-(

So, I'm wearing my new Hop, Skip, Jump skirt. I decided to pair it with the Ascending Roses Top, a black cardigan, and my Frye saddle-colored boots. I like the way this turned out. I felt very hip and youthful. I took my brown Frye's to the only place in town I found that does shoe repairs. Funny thing is, they send them off to another city to be worked on, so it will be at least a week before I get my boot back. How am I going to live without my Frye's for a week? Could this day get any worse?

I've been thinking alot about risk lately. It seems I'm the kind of person who likes the idea of risk, but never follows through. Like I said before, I majored in Business in college because it was the "safe" route. It wasn't my passion, but I decided not to take the risk and pursue my passion. I've regretted it ever since. It seems that the most risk I'm willing to take is changing my hair color. I really admire people who go after their dreams and don't let anything stand in their way. I wish I could be more like that, but as I get older it gets harder and harder. Having a family means your decisions not only effect you but other people - much harder to take risks under those circumstances.

The song of the day is by a band called I Am Kloot. It's called "The Same Deep Water As Me." This song is about taking a risk and asking someone else to take that risk with you. What a beautiful concept!
