Killer things that happened this week?
- My awesome friends nominated me for some kickass bloggy awards (Most Inspiring?! Blogger to Follow? Yeah, I might have teared up a little bit. THANK YOU).
- I dyed my hair “back to its natural color” only to realize that I’m NO LONGER A NATURAL BLONDE. This is an even tougher identity crisis than that time I changed my area code from 651 to 612.
- I had some really awesome and inspiring conversations with lots of people (ok, more than just those three, but seriously – crazy brainstorming things happening here).
- Jamie and I caught up via video iChat once I figured out HOW.
- I did a LOT of yoga.
- I had a great dinner and catch-up night with my sister.
- I met some of my old CM girlfriends for a great dinner, wine, gossip and girl talk night at Spill the Wine.
- My yoga friends decided that happy effective yogis hang out and practice and play together, and we’re now cooking up some sort of yogatini party. Green Tea-nis! (All invited, bruises inevitable)
- I remembered my shiny new Macbook comes with Photo Booth and decided to take pictures of my new hair color, my yoga clothes (I love my lulus!), and pretending to be a pop art superhero.
You’re welcome.
Kissy Face!
Black and White – Makes me look all sweet and innocent. Let’s just all pretend that my bangs aren’t too short (they’re too short).
Just being the superhero that I am. (Or cartoon. This one is open to interpretation).
Happy Weekend, Friends.
Things are about to get wild.

Wild, they will be.
You're amazing, lady! It really has been a good week for you! And I'm happy you found where PhotoBooth was on your computer because these photos are too cute!
Awww, I miss my Photobooth. I need to purchase a new Macbook ASAP.
Also, your darker hair is inspiring me to go back to my roots too — I love it!
Thank you! I bought mine refurbished, and think that was a great decision.
As for the hair… mine's just slightly darker than my natural color (light
brown, apparently) and I had her give it a red tint for pizazz, but I'm
still not used to seeing myself in the mirror and not be super blonde!
You can do it (and then post pictures)!
I miss my little blonde girl.
LY!!!
You're so cute it hurts, seriously.
You need to reign it in or your readers are going to mobilize and start doing yoga on your front lawn just for the love of you. You've been warned!
I like you on cough syrup highs.
Actually, the idea of leading you
With my reddish brown hair and bangs
folks through sun salutations and crescent lunge series would make my life.
And thank you for the compliments.
though, I kind of feel like I'm channeling you. Which makes me feel so very
lovely.
Yeah, apparently I'm naturally somewhere between dirty blonde and light
brown. (I'm holding onto dirty blonde; the stylist laughed at me).
thanks for making me smile this morning. =)
Ha, glad to hear it
Happy Friday!
I'm really loving the darker hair!
P.S. With posts like these, can you blame us for nominating you?!
Hahaha, it's post like these that make me wonder WHY, but I still thank you
And I think I'll dig the darker hair too, when the
so, so much either way
bangs grow out a bit.
Sounds like a great week! Here's to an even better weekend! And you look adorable like always. Your bangs are not too short and even if you think they are they'll grow out fast.
You had me at yogatini. That sounds pretty awesome. Coming to visit you IMMEDIATELY. Love the last photo of you. Super Doni to the rescue =) (which is true, you've come to my rescue recently and I thank you wholeheartedly for that)
COME VISIT ME! Seriously. Absolutely.
Wild, they will be.

The hair is so different! But very cute
I dig the new hair color! I have my natural 'dirty blonde' color right now, well, except for the purple tips… but I'm having a really big itch to go dark brown. The fact that you look awesome with darker hair is not helping!!

So, I didn't read through the other comments, because I want to think I thought of this on my own and made this observation -
But you look a lot happier now. Not that you never looked happy before – I saw pictures of you in Vegas, and I even posed with you in NYC, but you had an almost… hesitant look on your face, like you weren't completely there. Looking back, I could almost see your mind wandering, and thinking of other things.
But now, you look truly happy – centered – in the moment.
And I love that.

so cute you are with the new hair color! and I completely understand where you're coming from when it comes to dealing with the change in area code. My old area code change when I used to live in new jersey was borderline-tragic.
Yeah, I had an emotional reaction for sure. I grew up in a suburb of St.
Paul, then lived in St. Paul for a little while before I moved to
Minneapolis. I switched area codes when I switched from T-Mobile to AT&T
(for my iPhone!) last summer and have been 612 – Minneapolis – ever since.
I'm cool w/ it now, but still reminisce about the good ol' 651 days.

I was at a conference a couple weekends ago and I met Dave Romanelli – a big yoga enthusiast from L.A. He has a new book out called “Livin' in the Moment – Getting Tp Ecstasy through Wine, Chocolate and Music.” I totally thought of you when I met the guy and bought his book! If you haven't already looked into it, you definitely should – it's fantastic!!
