holey moley...

The backyard of the new house I moved into just 2 weeks ago either has an infestation of a cracked out mole the size of a small car or.... Bandit has taken up digging. My mom and sister warned me that he was a digger, but at my old place, the worst trouble he got into was eating my flipflop... and I didn't even really like them anyway, so he did me a favor. Anyway, I thought he'd grown out of the whole digging thing. Wrong!! Now that he's an outdoor dog during the day, he's taken to entertaining himself in this extremely annoying fashion... I wish I had a picture of what he looked like on Friday. Covered, head to toe, with dried mud. Today he wasn't nearly as bad, although he dug twice as many holes... At least he doesn't fight me anymore when I tell him to get in the tub. He just hops right in. But I promise to take a picture next time, because as much as I hate filling in the holes and bathing the pup every night, he's so proud of himself and his holey accomplishments that I just can't help but laugh. The only thing I can say about the situation now is I'm thankful grass seed is cheap. :)

Speaking of the new house, the decor isn't finished, neither are we fully unpacked, so once the roommie and I have it all spiffed up for the holidays, I'll take some pictures and post. Don't give up on me. I get around to it eventually...

In other new, I am now a brunette of sorts. Well the color is more a dark reddish purple with some black thrown in. Every fall I always do something really drastic and then go back to normal in the spring. With the shorter days and the chillier weather, I get bored really fast. So... I cut and dye my hair to keep me entertained. I think this is the best I've done in a long time. :) And sometimes I forget that it looks so different, because obviously I've gotten used to it, so when people start to stare and look at me weird, it just makes my day.

The before:

And the after: (I even wore the same WSU zipup for dramatic effect)

Waaaaay different, but I like it. We even had to dye my eyebrows a little because it looked like I didn't have any! I texted my mom after getting it done and she totally freaked. :) Speaking of family, I'm getting really excited to come home for Christmas. I'm taking an entire week off, and luckily enough, so is my sister. So I'm excited to get some quality hang time with everyone at home. And I'm staying with my bestie and going to my first ever Seahawks game, so it's going to be a fun week. All that's left is a safe, speedy, on-schedule flight from WW to Seattle on the 19th. That's all I ask, is that I actually make it to Seattle on time. So far the forecast looks promising (no snow or fog, reasonable temps), so I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

Only two more weeks!!! Whoot whoot!
