Underbite

Happy Weekend, everyone!  The Holidays are upon us and family and friends are slowly trickling into town :)  Lindsey and Gus are home until after Christmas, which guarantees an entire week of family fun (I'll be sure to have my camera on me), and  I know some of my friends are coming in town as well, and I can't wait to see them either!


I was silly to think that my busy time ended after I finished my thesis, because now I have to get started on artwork for the Graduate Art Show.  However, that means I'll be working on artwork and will have work-in-progress to post occasionally; so that's exciting.  Wish me luck on getting done what I need to get done within the next two weeks!  In fact, today I'm making a scheduled to-do list... hmmmm, we shall see how many "do's" get crossed off.

So, what are your plans for the weekend/week?  Joey and I are going to my friend Kelly's Christmas Party tonight, which I'm pretty excited about.  It'll be nice to hang out with friends and relax and enjoy the season.  I'm making more hard cider for the occasion and need to round up some holiday attire for the festivities.

And, since I've been collecting links, but took a hiatus for a bit, here are some fun places to visit from around the Internet:

First off, if you haven't checked it out via links through facebook, then check out my friend Amy's blog, memphisupbeat.com, which is a collaborative effort made by she and a group of wonderful people from within the community who have made it their goal to highlight the positive teachers, students, events, programs, etc. that are happening within Memphis's public education system.  I was lucky enough to have Amy visit one of my classes.  Afterwards, she put up an amazing post about how the lesson unfolded.

This makes me want to get active...

This story had me rolling on the floor!  Thanks, Todd!

Homemade edible gift ideas...

I want to do this with my kids at school.  In fact, I want to do this by myself, as well!

Pretty, pretty!

I'm loving these posters!

Sheesh!!!

And, ladies, for those days when you need a little style inspiration, check this website out!

So, I am hoping that everyone's last month of the year is going well and that your staying warm and cozy.  I'm excited to have more time to work on projects as well as keep you up to date on them via Underbite.  So, with that said, I will see you soon!

So, my hair is getting to that point where I either need to cut it or grow it out long again.  Decisions, decisions...


I found this photograph of this lovely lady off of Snippet and Ink with a link to her engagement shoot and I'm digging her hair. I'm wondering if I could pull off a similar haircut/style.

I also like this one (below) for a short cut...



Then there is the thought of growing it out long again.  It was more maintenance than I would like, however, I've just recently found some fun hairstyles to do with long hair, such as the sock buns and sock bun curls, and this Frida Kahlo tutorial, so, I'm torn.  Also, I've had fun in the past playing with my hair:

I have a post that I'm working on that I haven't quite finished writing yet.  So, in order to keep "good" with my resolution to create a post every Wed. and Sun., I'm going to put a short and sweet daydream of the haircut I want after Joey and I get married.  Usually, by the time my hair gets this long, I've already gone and chopped it off, so the fact that I have to wait 6 more months to cut it is driving me insane.  I love having my hair short and I only grow it out every once in a while to remember the long haired feeling.  Well, I'm missing my short-haired normalcy and looking forward to the post-wedding haircut.  This is what I'm thinking and I simply cannot wait for that freeing feeling that comes after you've chopped your hair off!

Wedding plans are slowly starting to come together and I'm beginning to ponder the smaller details more often as the bigger details begin to fall into place.  (By the way... I'm going to be working on an actual "Information Packet" with Joey and I's plans thus far for anyone who is interested.  This will be complete with pictures of the dress and bridesmaids dresses, cake ideas, grooms and groomsmen attire, and much more fun eye candy.)  Anyway, back to what I was saying... I'm thinking about hair.  Usually, when I grow my hair to about this length, I chop it off completely because I prefer it to be short.  However, I realize that it would probably be best to keep it long for the wedding... so I'm going to harness my urge to take some scissors to my hair and instead focus on some pretty hairdo's.  Please, let me know what you think and which hairstyles are your favorites!
