I'm still alive. Gypsies did not kidnap me and make me tell fortunes after the last post. I've been busy busy with some outside writing, and as I keep saying, Finland is just too normal! This season is flying by. A third of the season has come and gone. First time in a long time that I am not wishing the time to speed by.
But have some things saved up that might be somewhat interesting. Fresh start in November.
Have to tell you about the crazy Finnish/Swedish rivalry in pretty much everything. They are ruthless!
I had a really fun Halloween night out with the girls. Well, it was about as much Halloween as Europe gets! I'll have to share pics next week.
Remember this? Well, I didn't get surgery on my hair but they sure butchered the color. Oh how I love getting my hair done at a different place every year! It's like spinning a big wheel full of hair colors, and maybe landing on one that is not a crazy, fake shade. Lady luck was not with me this time.
And have I mentioned that we are somewhat stranded in Finland right now?? Our passports with the new, extremely-hard-to-get Finnish Visa has yet to arrive from Helsinki. Gulp.
Also, got this amazing and beautiful bracelet in the mail. 100% of the proceeds go to help the families affected.
Get yours here.
Blogger is telling me this is my 200th post. Yowzers! Ya'll have been around for a lot of 200 random ass, rambling posts?? You must really be bored online ;)
Everyone have a great and safe Halloween! I can't wait to see pictures. I'll be internet stalking today, and see you in November....which is 2 days away, lol.

"On Sept 7, 2011, 44 lives were lost in the worst tragedy in professional hockey history. A plane carrying crew members, hockey personnel, coaches and players of the Lokomotiv Yaroslavl hockey team went down, breaking the hearts of their loved ones near and far. In a united effort to show support for the grieving families, hockey wives and girlfriends from around the world have created this website in hopes to raise money for their dear friends"

I know the feeling on the hair thing. I can never get a person who speaks the same language as me. I always put my hair up anyway, so I suppose it doesn't matter. And I always color from a box...its just safer that way. Can't wait to see pics!
ReplyDeleteThat is a lot to look forward to in Nov. Can't wait for the hair surgery shots.
ReplyDeletehaha..oh yes Swedes (including myself) and Finns are not the best of friends..lol
ReplyDeletehappy halloween and many more post to come i am sure... hopefully some girl's night photos may surface... i want to see the halloween part of it, not the girl part of it... wink.
ReplyDeletethat was not meant to be weird or creepy, wow that just sounds like i am trying to cover me being weird and creepy.
have a great day!
jeremy
Feel free to stalk me.
ReplyDeleteGlad you had fun. :D That bracelet is cute!
Nice Bracelet and great to remember and help out families. Halloween is tomorrow. YIKES and I haven't gassed up my broom - gotta get that done today.
ReplyDeleteOK, Well, today is "tre" windy, like hurricane winds, rain, snow, snow and hail and more rain and more snow again. (Are we in Finland - NO ? ) We even heard thunder- crazy storm passing through - bad in some areas and thousands without electricity down in USA, where the stom hit real bad. That takes care of the weather.
1/3 gone - WOW, ltl tex, you will be back home before you know it, if the snow melts?
Have a great day
Can't wait to see your Halloween pics :-) Also well done on the 200 posts!!!!! Dedication right there!
ReplyDeleteTime flies when you're having fun...Crazy how you've hit that mark already, seems like you just got there. So glad you made it out for a Halloween extravaganza, if you can't have it--bring it. You easily could have said your hair was part of the costume :)
ReplyDeleteUgh, girl I am so bored online but keep stumbling on this texagerma--what-thing? haha! Happy Sunday!
A third of the way already?? Wow! I'm looking forward to the Halloween pics. Congrats on the 200th post!
ReplyDeleteAre you going to post the hair? I never even get my hair cut by a new person, I drive the 11 hours home or wait until christmas or something because I do not like my shit jacked. You don't really have a choice though. Once as I child I was given a mullet because the lady doing my hair did not understand english well, and ever since then, I've been very cautious about who touches my head.
ReplyDeleteOhhhhh stop it, I'm sure you're overreacting about your hair. Blonde is always in style...I mean as long as it's not that silverygoldish white blonde...which I know you would rock anyways ;) You can always be like me and have three inches of growth/hope it's passing as ombre but knowing it's not! What are these shenanigans about being stuck in Finland? Oh and I'm glad the gypsies didn't steal you - I was worried. xoxo love love love love love you to the moon and back and miss you oodles of poodles and bunches. Ok bye.
ReplyDeleteInteresting read! I caught this post from your title and glad that I found it! Keep up the great work with your blog and I look forward to reading your next post!
ReplyDeleteA third of my time here is gone too, I cannot believe it. Time FLIES. How's the team doing??
ReplyDeleteI posted a Halloween picture today from back in the day. And a song.
ReplyDeleteI hope you find someone good to do your hair...that has to be one of the hardest thing for a girl when she moves!!! I haven't had the nerve yet to get my hair cut. :/
ReplyDeleteOh man sorry to hear about your hair! I can't go somewhere in Europe. I just let my roots grow and grow for 8 months. Thank God for the Ombre look that's coming in. Mine isn't quite like that but that's what I'll call it if anyone asks!
ReplyDeleteHappy Halloween! Bet your hair isn't as bad as you think! And if it is... Call it part of your costume. haha. :) Happy 200 posts!!!
ReplyDeleteI am NEVER bored while here! Congrats on 200 posts!
ReplyDeleteTime is seriously FLYING- I feel like I was just reading that you had just arrived in Finland!
ReplyDeleteSo sad to read about the hockey plane going down- what a tragedy:-(
haha- I've had a few interesting experiences getting hair "surgery" when I was living in Madrid- it never quite came out how I wanted. They didn't really seem to get the concept of lowlights then, so I ended up with the same hair as all the spanish gals- Dark reddish purple haha. Live and learn.
ReplyDeleteI love ya'll. Thank you so much for always being amazing. I didn't expect one comment after being MIA, but ya'll always come through. Seriously, I enjoy each and every comment :) Makes me smile!!
ReplyDeleteI can't believe you've been there three months already!! Where did this year go? I am still really envious you're over there, I would SO love to spend more time there. How's the Finnish coming along?? ;)
ReplyDeleteI wanna see the hair... hehe. Mine is so terrible right now (see: facebook pictures...) I have decided to let it grow back out. The short cut was cute and all - but I miss having hair! And being able to just pull it up when I don't feel like fixing it! :) And I haven't been able to decide on a color lately - my stylist moved to California... I have these terrible roots with sun bleached ends. I'm so lost without Janine... LOL
ReplyDeleteIt's because of the hair ;) Soo glad you're still a member of the living! Hope you got to experience a fine Finnish Halloween.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure the hair will mellow out with a bit of time! Sometimes big hair changes also take a bit of time to accept and get used to. The first time I had blunt bangs cut, I was in total shock.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on post 200!!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the 200th! I just passed 1000... you'll be there before you know it! :-)
ReplyDeleteHappy 200th post my friend!!! Sorry I've been MIA, I've been a bad bloggy friend, glad to be back though :)
