Ridiculous longhair problem

I bought 3 onesies at Black Friday last year and I love them!
This one, one that has since sold out but is the blue version of this green one, and the one in the picture which is this one.
I had caught on to that it said "2 way zipper goes all way around the hood" on the model descriptions, but it still turned out to be a pain in the ass. Maybe if you wear your hair loose it's not a problem, but for me it gets stuck a lot.
It kind of defeats the purpose of "Bumming around at home" if I have to put my hair up.
But I still love them! Next time I will purposely look for models without the full length zipper.

Big bun day

I'm having a day where my bun just felt massive.
I mean, my buns are always big, but for some reason it felt huge today.
Anyone ever have that happen to you?

Maybe it was because I poked the stick through at more space between than usual?  I guess that would theoretically widen the bun?
I was genuinely disappointed you couldn't see my bun sticking out when seen straight from the front.

Another one bites the dust

Here's a ridiculous longhaired problem: Your hair has a tendency to murder things.

Mostly elastics. But also combs.

My shed hairs have a tendency to cling onto the hair still on my head, so when I put down my comb to resume putting my hair up, I have enough "slack" that I don't even notice. One motion, and it pulls on the shed hair, which pulls the comb off the counter....

Victim: My favorite since 2014, the Hercules Sägemann hard rubber combs.

Scary, me?

I just started off the new year by scaring hubby half to death.
No idea why...

Maybe it's the sheet mask that was supposed to be a cute panda, but really looks more like some sort of weird clown?
Maybe that I had to adjust the mouth a lot to fit my face which obscured the intended panda print even more?
Or maybe it was the silicone mask on top of it that blurred the features even more?

Such a mystery.

(And now I want to buy more printed sheet masks just to terrorize hubby. I'm a jerk)

Hello 2019!

2018 was awesome.

Seriously awesome.
Totally and completely overwhelming at times, but still awesome.

Some career options fell into place for me. I even had an unexpected freelance option fall into my lap!

Even though I haven´t done much work for the firm (Like, maybe 100 hours in total?), it´s a very good name to be able to drop.

I even went back to university to follow a course for a semester!
It's not something I can actually "do" anything with, but it looks amazing on my CV and it gave me a lot of experiences with studying and working at the same time that I can use for the next round.
This was totally a bonus objective for 2018.

I made a clear and simple plan for 2018 and I followed through.

My general life priority list for 2018 was
1. Work #1 (You just don't get many opportunities like this one in life!)

#NailedIt #Awesome #Girlboss #Lifeonfleek #Etc #Tired_stereotypical_nonsence #Yougetthepoint

2. Work #2 (I would like to squeeze a bit of this one into my schedule too) 

#NailedIt #Awesome #Girlboss #Lifeonfleek #Etc #Tired_stereotypical_nonsence #Yougetthepoint

3. Sleep (So basic, but so important!) 

Ehhhh....... Yea.... No.... I think I spent most of 2018 being sleep deprived as hell, so this one was a total fail. 

4. Self care (Stress management and quality of life and all that...) 

This was actually less of a fail. I think I managed to take pretty good care of myself, except that I just haven´t slept enough.

5. Be a good wife (Maybe we could arrange a date night once a week or something. I just know I will end up neglecting hubby with this schedule) 

#NailedIt #Awesome #Girlboss #Lifeonfleek #Etc #Tired_stereotypical_nonsence #Yougetthepoint

In all seriousness here, I think I did pretty good. Even though I was away for work so much, I managed to plan and prioritize the time we had together and we did a lot of fun things this year.

6. Blog (Guess this could be put in as a sub-section under #4?) 

I don´t think I did too bad? What do you guys say?

Economy
1. Pay off debt (Both hubby and I have student loans) 

I no longer have any student loans. Mr. Igor has a little bit left, but he is okay with paying it off bit by bit and I don´t push the issue.

2. Renovate

This one will be pushed to 2019...

3. Save up money in stocks and pension. 

My pension could use a little more work, but my stock portfolio is happy and healthy!

4. Travel. 

Our "big" trip was to Tenerife, which was awesome even though they confiscated my Ron Quattro in the airport. But we also went to Læsø, Denmark and saw a lot of things in Skåne, Sweden. We actually made really good use of our small amount of free time together.

So. Onto 2019!

In 2019 I am going back to university for more. This time to follow two "real" courses that results in  diplomas.

I am super excited about this! This is something I have wanted to for years, but when you can count on one hand how many weeks of 2018 you were under 36 work hours, it seems impossible.

This year I have decided to just go for it. See if I can make it work. Plan around school hours. Shuffle work around to fit my plans better.

First step is a small course of just 10 ECTS points this spring, but I will commit two a 60 ECTS points, two year degree starting this autumn.

My general life priority list will be:

1. Work #1 (You just don't get many opportunities like this one in life!)
2. Going back to university for more!
3. Work #2 (I would like to squeeze a bit of this one into my schedule too. It looks so good on my CV)
4. Sleep (I failed the crap out of this one last year, so maybe I should move it up higher?)
5. Self care (Stress management and quality of life and all that...)
6. Work #3 (I would like to squeeze in a few hours here and there. Luckily it's not that heavy on the workload and actually kind of fun)
7. Be a good wife (Maybe we could arrange a date night once a week or something like we did this year. I just know I will end up neglecting hubby with this schedule)
8. Blog

My economic priority list will be:

1. Save up money in stocks and pension
2. Renovate
3. Travel
4. Get rid of Mr. Igor's student loan (This is his own business and I don´t meddle, but it would be nice to get rid of)

Today's hair

Double Royal buns. Cute!

Today's hair

Double braided Chinese buns.

Today's hair

Four little braids again. I liked that one!

Merry Christmas everyone!

Since we were going to my parents' place for Christmas, we haven't really bothered with decorations or a Christmas three for ourselves. 

Good thing the 3D Christmas calendar from Rituals could double as a one!

But we all prefer the real thing...

Merry Christmas!

17 years

So today it has been 17 years since I shaved my head.
Wow.
Next year it will be half my life ago. (Now that´s a thought that makes me feel old!!!)
Unfortunately I got stuck at work, so I can´t find the energy to take a length shot today.
I´ll try to get it done soon.
