New Hair 2.0
Posted by Colleen on Feb 27, 2010 in Announcement, Picture Post
I’ll interrupt all these London posts to announce that I got my hair cut again on Wednesday night. I really like it so far. I want to have longer hair for the wedding so I can have an up-do, so I wanted to cut it shorter now and start fresh with the growing out process. It makes sense in my head…
Be Still My Geeking Heart
Guess where I went today?
Squeeeeee! Platform 9 3/4 from Harry Potter! After the changing of the Guard (kinda interesting but kinda boring, I don’t know) and Westminster Abbey (really, really awesome), we went up to King’s Cross Station and tried to go to Hogwarts, ha. Yay!
P.S. Ignore my sneakers; after the first two days of walking around in boots, my feed, legs and knees rebelled so now it’s sneakers for this girl lol
Dear British Friends…

Yellow & Red for V-Day
Posted by Colleen on Feb 14, 2010 in Jay Glatfelter, Picture Post
The Jeremiahs 1 & 2 (aka Jay and Katelyn’s boyfriend Jer) sent us each flowers for Valentines’ Day since they’re still in the States. Aww, yay :) Here are mine:
Happy Valentines’ Day everyone! And if you’re not the type to care about V-Day, Happy Sunday!
Yesterday we went to the National Gallery and today we are going to start at Portabello Market (I keep singing Bedknobs and Broomsticks), followed maybe by Abbey Roll and a trip to the Apple Store or some kind of electronics store for me to buy an international adapter for my Macbook cause I totally forgot one…
Almost time for LA X
So Jay & Clif left today for Hawaii. They met up with Jack & Jay’s mom in LA(coughspacecough)X and everyone just set sail (flight) for Honolulu Airport. They won’t land until 3:45am EST but that’s okay because I have to wait until midnight EST to record ChuckCast with special guest host Ralph!
Anyways. I already am almost packed for Hawaii even though I have to work so I don’t get to go until Thursday. All that’s left to pack are my jacket, some bras, and my sneakers. Then I am good to go! I even sent Jay with all my toiletries, like mousse, a toothbrush, and contact solution. I wasn’t playing around. I’m prepared this time. Only 4 pairs of shoes: flats, sandals, sneakers, and dress scandals. Again, I mean business.
It’s been one of those really stressful weeks, starting last Wednesday. However, I swam a mile today for the first time! When I started swimming on November 1, I wasn’t very strong and barely made it to a quarter of a mile but I had a goal to swim one mile by the time I went to Hawaii and tonight, I finally did it! I’m very proud of myself and even had a beer to celebrate (we gave up beer for the month of January in order to try to lose weight for Hawaii).
Ahh, that’s it for now. More later and from Hawaii later this week.
Also, I want this:

Once More With (My) Style
This one is more along the lines of how I would style it verses yesterday’s picture of how the hairdresser styled it. I had asked her for “around the shoulders with layers” and she put her own flair in it. I was on and off about it last night to be honest but I love it now that I have control of it.
Okay now back to trying on dresses for Hawaii in 19 DAYS while cleaning and dancing around to Lady Gaga (STFU Amanda my pookie).
New Year, New Hair.

I decided to change things up a little in 2010 and got a new haircut. It’s kinda like a grown-up haircut. Please excuse how exhausted I look in the picture. I have been sick with a bad cold all week long.
Precious You Are
While Jay was recording two back-to-back Married Man Podcasts this afternoon, Zoe and I had some bonding/naptime:
Now, she’s sitting on my back doing her best Little Mermaid impression I guess:
Jay’s jealous that she likes me better than him tonight 
Trick or Not Treat
Posted by Colleen on Nov 2, 2009 in Good times, Halloween, Jay Glatfelter, Picture Post, Ramble/Ponder/Rant
Halloween was a bit of a letdown in terms of Trick or Treaters. We had none! Despite all of our excitement - including our jack-o-lantern sitting lit outside the door - no one came by asking for candy. I was really disappointed, actually, because we bought a lot of candy and we had lots of fun things to hand out and I was really looking forward to it. We went outside several times to look out at the apartment complex and see if we could entice anyone to come our way, but nada. I don’t get it! It was a Saturday too! Don’t kids want to get free candy anymore?!
That out of the way, we found that dressing up ourselves was too expensive but I did manage to get Zoe into costume for about 45 seconds:
The hat came off about 15 seconds after the picture was taken. Then she ran off to hide and later on, I found the bandana in my closet, stuffed into my shoe. I think she looks adorable. And Strider was always some form of a cowboy for Halloween, so it was my own little tribute <3 because I still miss the hell out of that dog 
So we started off Halloween by joining a gym. This was fueled by several things. First, when clocks move back in the U.S. (today), then it gets dark by 5:30pm. I’d pick working out outside any day of the week, but I effing HATE the cold and don’t feel safe running or walking outside in the dark. Also, I’ve seen this season’s NuNews. I used to do some form of physical exercise (usually running) a good 5-6 days a week. I haven’t in a year. All you have to do is compare the thumbnails from the summer and now (but please don’t lol) and there’s a change. Yeah, I’m not “fat” but I’m not in shape and I used to be so I’d like to get back in shape. Yeah, I Tweeted 2 months ago that according to the scale at my doctor’s office, I’ve gained 7lbs since June, but since everything fit, I didn’t really care. But the “wake-up call” was right before we filmed this week’s NuNews. I bought new jeans 3 weeks ago and they fit fine and then when I put them and an orange shirt on (for Halloween), it looked awful. Even Jay (very kindly and gently) acknowledged that I needed to change. So I acted like the melodramatic girl I am & cried on the floor of my closet for a couple minutes before putting on the black dress that I am wearing in the video. The best part of this story is that I was going to wear the black dress from the start but changed my mind last minute and could have probably avoided all the crying-before-filming by not being so indecisive. Anyway, I know I’m not “fat” so please don’t leave a comment reassuring me that I’m not. I’d just like to get back into shape. That’s all.
Anyway, we didn’t end up going out last night despite having plans to do so and this was because we were having the best time drinking at home and watching this marathon of “I Didn’t Know I Was Pregnant” on TLC (thank you “Jon and Kate Plus 8″ for self-imploding and allowing other shows to have some air play). Then once the game got started, we realized we were having enough fun together to not go out in the rain. Ah well, next year I’m totally going to plan a party for Halloween and invite people over with mandatory costumes.
Finally, here’s our jack-o-lantern on display last night. We thought it’d entice the kiddies, but we never even heard any come around. The last one was taken about an hour ago after I successfully didn’t burn the apartment down by baking pumpkin seeds. They’re pretty frickin’ good if I do say so myself.
