Poodle Love

So today is the 8th day in a row without sun. WITHOUT SUN! Jeez we aren't in London (or Costa Rica for that matter right Matt?) Who can live like that? It is quite depressing. Not only has there NOT BEEN sun but the rain and snow has seized each day, making it wet and soupy outside every dark and dreary hour. Since I have gotten my hair cut short I have had to straighten it every morning even though I have a mess of natural curls. Over the last week or so I have straightened it in the morning and after wading through the water that is our sidewalk and tracking across the parking lot to work, my hair looks like Cyndi Lauper on a mall tour. So today for the first time I embraced the curls and went "all natural" to work. There is no sense in fighting the elements once again! Now I feel slightly similar to Jennifer Grey in Dirty Dancing (pre-nose job and straight hair.) I guess I am just embracing the inner-poodle.


Speaking of poodles. Matt and I have decided (as soon as we are homeowners) to buy a Standard Poodle puppy. I have always loved curly haired, goofy dogs and now is the perfect opportunity (we found a breeder near St. Louis that we have been in contact with). I think it all started with Piper (Adam and Amber Lewis' Dog). My parents also have a shitzu-poodle mix and he is just awesome! Don't worry though we aren't going to cut it like a poodle. We will give it an all over cut which is MUCH cuter. Matt doesn't want a froo-froo dog and I don't blame him.
