my FINAL, final exam...

April 25th

I walked into my last final beaming! I only studied 30 mins....but I didn't care. I was done, it is over. I hated almost every minute of graduate school (this semester was a tad better) and I was just minutes away from being done. Don't get me wrong, I'm glad I did it....but I am OFFICIALLY done!! With straight A's and all!! yipee!!

My roommate, Annie and I went straight to Mandalay Bay's pool for a little R&R. Then our other roomie, Ashlee and our friend, Marcie joined us and we stayed the night at the South Point Hotel. Collin Raye was performing that night, so we ate some dinner went to the concert and then went to a movie afterwards.

We got up the next morning and worked out so we could go to the breakfast buffet. Lounged around, and then went to my first ever spa day! And omigosh!!! I am addicted!! It was the most fabulous things EVER! It is a definite must for anyone out there....worth absolutely EVERY penny!!

We got there and went right to the steam room, then to the shoulder/neck massage shower, then to the hot tub, then back to the steamer, then lounged and read, then took a scented shower, then lounged, then got a body treatment, here's mine:

"Baja and Beyond--From the Rain Forest, honeybees collect the raw materials to produce Propolis which is naturally high in antioxidants, extremely healing and is deeply moisturizing. In this innovative treatment, this magical elixir is applied to your skin, you are wrapped to enhance absorption then warm Coconut Milk is poured over your entire body and gently massaged in for astonishing healing and moisturizing results. Add a body scrub enhancement and make this an 80 minute treatment."

Then lounged.....etc.

Bliss! Pure Bliss!

the best thank-you card ever, and I mean EVER!

April 23rd

I received this from a patient who just loved me! Our personalities really meshed and I had a lot of fun with her. After the baby came out she was so appreciative and kept telling me how she "couldn't have done it without me"....and then gave me this gift card....

Did I mention that English was her second language?

I will keep this card FOREVER!

kelli's day!!

April 22nd

It's Kelli's birthday! I thought about it all day and never called or texted...I HATE it when that happens!! Kelli makes me laugh...HARD! She is one of those act tough on the outside ladies who is the sweetest, most compassionate lovable angel on the inside! Kelli is an essential dynamic to "The Girls" a group of 10 or 11 of us Arizona girls who have remained friends through Merry Miss, Young Women, College, Marriages, Divorces, and re-marriages....oh, and single-villes! She is kindof the glue! She entertains us when we need it and calms us when we need that too! She is a phenomenal woman with stunning children! And she listens to my advice, even when I tell her to jump out of a moving car...how can I not LOVE her?!?! :)

Happy Birthday, Stealth!

treen's birthday!

April 19th

Oh, how I love my Katrina!! She is one of those friends that no matter how long it has been since we last talked, we can pick up right where we left off and keep going. We seem to have such an understanding of each other even though we are so different! Oh, I just love her. She is constantly teaching me in little things she does or says.

Here's just a FEW lessons I have learned from her.....

1. How to look at the world and find unexpected beauty.



2. To never take for granted the small, simple things in life.



3. To boldy follow your dreams and not let anything stop you.



4. She taught me I can "pull off anything" in the fashion world! She taught me to have fun with my clothes and wear it well!
   


5. She taught me so much about people and their core values.



6. She's the inspiration for indigo/magenta....my blog name!



7. Loving and caring for your body the natural way.



8. And to be who you are, without apologies!
   

Happy Birthday, Lady!! Thanks for the unspoken lessons!!

adventures of janie day...

April 16th

So I always let my hairdresser (Janie) do whatever she wants. It's fun for her and always an adventure for me. I would say almost every time I don't like it when I leave, but I ALWAYS end up loving it. This cut was quite and adventure! I love my spikes, we all know this, but this one was pretty extreme. I didn't take a picture soon enough to show the dramatic effects of the cut, but it has definitely taken some getting used to. Overall, people don't love it....I love the strong opinions I get on my hair! I've heard "light socket" "lesbian" and makes me look "old". There are a few out there who genuinely like it.



It isn't my favorite, but it's different, so that makes it fun....and let's be honest, it'll grow. So I'm just embracing it and acting confident...that's always what makes it cute anyway!

(sorry about the extra chin....that just came out of nowhere! :) )
