My Hair Game

Like most girls, I have tried and tried and tried to grow out my hair... a few times I actually succeeded and a few times I failed ... miserably.

Last year, I made a commitment to grow out my hair and vowed to only cut it after I graduated with my Master's degree ... well, May (2013) came and went and I decided to keep my hair. Annnnnd now, I have decided that I made it this far I might as well keep going so I can donate it to a non-profit that can use it to make wigs.

My hair has been highlighted, dyed and damaged in any way imaginable ... so I found this non-profit organization that accepts hair that has been chemically treated ... as long as it is healthy they accept it.  Children With Hair Loss is an organization that gives hair replacement options to children diagnosed with diseases and families who may not be able to afford wigs for their children.

Soooo ... encouraged by Sports Illustrated's recent exposition of my beloved OSU Cowboys, I have decided to do a five part series on my hair, entailed "My Hair Game." This exposé will uncover the truths behind my hair growth including the "drugs" I took (meaning vitamins) , the money the products took and will ultimately finish with the "fallout" section (which in this scenario will relate to the actual hair cut when I decide its time!)

Stay tuned for the first of this five part series to be published soon. By the end of my series, I hope to have encouraged you to grow your hair out too for children with cancer. It is simple and easy to do and is something that can completely change a child's outlook on the world.

And, be sure to "like" Children With Hair Loss" on Facebook and follow "CHWL_org" on twitter.

H54F-- Better Late Than Never Edition

 If you tend to side with the thought "better late than never," then we can definitely be friends. Because, this post is exactly that. This week there were some exciting things go one, so I had to share!

1. I finally made time to go pick up my cap, gown and hood for graduation. It was divine, even if my hood and tassel is an ugly tan. As long as it results in Master Brenna, then I am fine with it. Check out the tan tassel here. You won't be disappointed!

2. I got a question right in my jurisprudence class. So, I chalk that up was a win.

3. I have been sick since Tuesday, so I have been treating my cold and sore throat with Braum's chocolate shakes for each meal. I think I could really excel at an ice cream diet 24/7 or be a doctor. I can see either one being a hit.

4. It's SPRING BREAK! Hallelujah! Only 55 days until my time at SWOSU is over! :))

5. I started off spring break right with a little shopping in OKC with my BFF Karolyn! We are all set for our summer road trips with friends!

High Five For Friday!

This week highlights are rather exciting. Prepare yourself!

1. I finally got to go home last weekend for the first time in almost six weeks. Since I had missed Valentine's day, I got my card from my cute grandparents while I was there. My grandma told me to buy something good with my present. So, I did what any good granddaughter would do. I followed orders and purchased earrings. Thanks Pops and Grandma! If you are feeling adventurous you can see them here.

2. Monday morning at my weekly "start the week off right" coffee stop, the man in from of me purchased my coffee! I have never had that happen to me before! I was overwhelmed and flustered and didn't even think about paying for the person's coffee behind me! However, tomorrow on my way to the city, I am planning to stop for coffee and do the same. So excited about this!

3. My mom accidentally packed my brothers work keys in with my stuff this week when I was home. Therefore, brother bear came to visit me. And, he drove my jeep. Double win.

4. I visited my first laundry mat this week. It was rather exciting. You can see the photos from the inside here. It was fun.

5. I know I have been talking about this for a while, but today is finally the day! MIRANDA LAMBERT concert TONIGHT! I am so excited to spend some time with two of my favorite glitter pals and Miranda, of course. Oh, and Lee Brice and Dirks Bentley! Be prepared for an update next week!

 Hope you all had a wonderful week, too!

Don't Stop Believing

Sometimes you just need to believe and that is what this week was all about for me. Graduation is coming and I have no idea what I am going to be doing so thats where Mark 5:36 comes in. It pretty much says it all. So, I needed a friendly reminder of this verse so I decided to make a cover photo and iPhone background for myself and because I love sharing ... here they are! 

Peace and Love, 

H54F

I am barely not going to make the "Friday" mark, but I am determined to finish this.

1. This week started out with two snow days from work and school. What more could a girl ask for? See {Snow Day Fun} for evidence of all the fun!

2. Because of all the snow, my night class was also canceled on Wednesday night. Hooray! However, I still had to take a test online (but, I made an A) and I got to go to church too! Win-Win. Wednesday night was the season premier for Duck Dynasty ... naturally everyone wore camo.  It was awesome.

3. Thursday night was the blood rivalry basketball game against NWOSU. We won. Enough said.

4. Today, I realized that its only one week until the MIRANDA LAMBERT concert with two of my very best friends. I am so excited I can barely contain all my excitement!

5. HOME! Today, I got to come home for the first time in almost a month and a half. Cant wait to sleep in and hang out with my familia for a couple of days and hopefully see some home town friends too!
