Well I’m on my 4th week of having no voice and I’m getting a little bit concerned. So I finally made an appointment with an ENT. It was supposed to be tomorrow, but snow is in the forecast, so I moved it to Thursday. Watch me have my voice by then. Wouldn’t that be something. I’d still go, though. I lose my voice twice a year and this time it’s been for over a month. I think I should probably have it checked out.
So it’s the first day of spring and it’s snowing like crazy here in Carroll County. It’s kind of ridiculous. They even sent us home early from work. Spring whaaaat?
Speaking of spring, this week is spring break. I can’t believe how quickly the semester is flying by. I’ve had 2 tests so far. The first one I got 100% on and the second one was last week, so I won’t get it back until next Thursday. I am very encouraged. It all makes sense to me (I think) and it’s “so far so good.” I registered for 2 summer classes, but I think I’ll drop one of them. They are 8 week courses, so I think 2 might be a little bit over-ambitious of me. I definitely plan on taking 2 classes in the fall, though. I’m still fairly bored at home. I need more to do. Plus I want to finish my degree sometime this lifetime, so I need to get a move on.
I’m going to get my hair done in the next few weeks. Thoughts? I want to try going grey again, but it didn’t last for very long :( I’m open to suggestions, so fire away!
This past weekend Skylar went to a skating birthday party. Those things terrify me. I did better this time, though. Last time I went to one I was borderline panic attack. It was awful. But the other parents didn’t skate this time, so I didn’t feel like a bad mom for not skating. Except I was. A bad mom, that is. Skylar wasn’t talking very nicely to one of her friends and I discreetly said something to her about it and she burst into tears and started sobbing. Then everyone was like, “what’s wrong with Skylar???” So the bad mom award goes to Brittany. It’s ok, though. One of the other moms said that means I’m doing the whole parent thing right. Whew.
Anyway, I hate skating parties. I’m always worried that someone is going to get hurt. I mean, Skylar is a straight up disaster on skates. I don’t know how we left in one piece. But she has a ball and loves every minute of it, so I guess that makes things worth it. Plus the music is super loud, which makes it difficult to carry on a conversation. Especially if you can’t talk above a whisper. Plus I just think skating rinks are sketchy. I never want to put my stuff down anywhere. Basically, I think everything about it plays into my social anxiety. BUT. Skylar wanted to go and I took her and we both actually had fun :) The cake was good, too. Karina knows how to put on a good party! So as long as I don’t have to be the one skating, I guess I don’t actually hate skating parties.
I know that this post was random. I even picked a random picture just for fun. I just wanted to catch ya’ll up on the day to day life of Brittany because I haven’t done that in a while. Things aren’t super exciting (besides my new car, of course), which I guess can be a good thing. It means there aren’t any fires that I’m putting out. Just an average life. I’ll take it!
Let me know what you think I should do hair wise and I’ll keep you posted on my voice. Good thing I’m not a vlogger!
Love ya!
Brittany

I’m afraid I don’t have any suggestions for your hair! I am glad you are going to the doctor for your voice. I used to lose mine at least once a year when the children were small. We always managed.
Brittany says
Oh no! I didn’t realize you lost yours, too! Maybe it’s hereditary ;-) We manage here, too. I just hope to have it back soon! A month is a long time!

On Saturday, I thought your hair looked lovely the way it is……and I told you so. The highlights look very nice.
Aunt Jeannie says
You’ve always been beautiful, no matter what color or style you choose for your hair!! I must admit, though………my favorite coloring (for anyone) has always been golden highlights added to a person’s natural hair color……….to me, that seems to really give radiance to the hair, and bring added beauty to the eyes and complexion. Good luck at the ENT doc when you go…….I used to lose my voice with bronchitis at least once a year, but I’ve escaped it in recent years…..still get “gravel voiced” with a bad cold, not voiceless! Love you……xo
Brittany says
Awe, thank you! Those are the kind of highlights I have right now. I think I’m going to keep it like this for a while. I’m glad to hear you’ve escaped losing your voice in recent years! Love you, too!
Brittany says
So sweet! I like the highlights, too. Just looking for something a little bit different is all.
