Who do you think you are?

Lately I've been thinking about the many roles that a person plays on any given day. I am looking out at my students as they work in groups. I look at them and see them working toward a common goal. I am grateful that I understand them, probably better than they think. I know that they have plenty of other responsibilites besides this class. I know that many of them are trying to figure out who they are. Many of them are in relationships or wish they were in one. Some are married. Some have things figured out. Some are lost. Some understand the material and will succeed in this class. Some do not. It's likely that most of them really don't care much either way.

This got me thinking of the roles that I play, the different masks that I wear. And this is where the list starts:
Daughter
Sister
Wife
Doggy Mom
Nursery leader
Member of LDS church
Friend (hopefully)
Cook
Laundress
Housekeeper
Homemaker
Blogger
Foodie
Confidant
BYUI grad
USC masters student
Teacher
Comedian (at least to my students; I like to perform for them)
Seamstress (aspiring)
Photographer (aspiring)
Crafter
Card maker
Writer
Texter
Reader
Moper (sometimes it just sneaks up on me)
Make-up artist (I wish)
Fashion follower
Fast walker
Cuddler
Driver
Purse carrier (this is still new to me)
Novice golfer
Exerciser
Talker
Listener (I try to be)
English nerd
Glasses-wearer

and now get ready for this one...

A BLONDE!

I'll post some photos soon. Also, it's sort of an inbetween stage where I have a ton of highlights. I'm going full-out blonde in July!

If you think I've lost my mind, let me just say: This is something that I have wanted to do for over a year. I decided that "going blonde" was something I wanted to do before I die. That being said, I think it's more appropriate to go blonde as a twentysomething than any other "something." So if you don't have anything nice to say, then just don't say anything at all!
