hair
So once again talking about my name brought about another whole post: my hair. Here it goes: The fact that I'm a redhead has always (ok probably not always, maybe the last ten years) made me feel 'different' or 'unique' I guess, because it isn't something that you necessarily see everyday. Also, because I grew up with just my mom and little sister who have dark tan skin and brown hair. Because I was fair and they were not I was always teased that I must have been adopted. Seriously, I remember coming home from elementary school devastated when someone told me that I probably was adopted. So I went to my mom, "Just tell me I'm adopted! I know its true! I'm adopted! I can handle the truth!" and of course she wouldn't say it lol. I also got the name calling of 'carrot top' (It was in first grade and I was so sad when someone told me thats what their brother said redheads were) along with the friendly ones of 'red' 'licorice' etc. If someone can't/doesn't want to remember my name they just call me red. It works. If any of you know me well, you know I'm extremely proud to be a redhead :)I've come to love and embrace it, rather than lay out hoping I'll tan like my mom and sister. I've always equated it to how some girls bawl their eyes out when their long hair is cut off; I would bawl if my hair was dyed a different color. I've also heard several times that I fit the description of a 'typical redhead': bold personality, bad temper (I'm not necessarily quick to anger but quick to ALL my emotions), no matter what type of personality having scads of it, etc.
I apologize if I'm bragging, I don't mean to. The train of thought that started about a week ago just had to be completed! Here's a link to a breif history of redheads I thought it was pretty interesting:

I will be back with updates on my bedroom next time. I must get a camera cord and a printer cord so I can upload pictures!
And just to leave you with something wonderful. I absolutely love this quote. Because really, love is supposed to be amazing, not something you endure or are "meh" about. :D And I am just pretty freaking happy right now thinking about this. So I hope it made you a little warm and fuzzy too :)
Love,
Kxoxo
