Subtitle: Be prepared for all sorts of lameness.
My friend, Courtney, sent me a delish sounding recipe to start off my 52 New project. Unfortunately, the whole cooking in my mama’s kitchen thing doesn’t work out so well for me. Don’t ask. Let’s just say that Hamburger Helper has been burned. By me, let me clarify– my mother is still a culinary goddess.
So what to do new? What exciting thing is waiting to be tried? What will start this project off with a bang?
My hair is parted on the left.
I know what you’re thinking… setting the bar so high on week one will surely set me up for failure. I’ll just have to cross that bridge when I get to it.
In all honesty, parting on my left side wasn’t exactly planned. I may or may not be trying to cover up a spot I missed while touching up my roots on Saturday.
But, whatever.
Pictures? Almost. Turns out they looked exactly the same and I got confused as to which was before and which was after. Plus, I have a zit.
As a life-long right parter, I’ve had some difficulty adjusting. I think my nose may look bigger and more pointy (as if that were even possible). Also, it seems to create an almost vertigo-like sensation when I go to tuck my hair behind my right ear, as is my habit.
There are some ups too. My hair has a little more volume and it’s seems smidge shinier.
Am I conquer-the-world ready?
Um, no. But it’s only week one.
For my local peeps, the gals at BirminghamMommy and Birmingham Bargain Mom are joining in too. You can head over there to see what they’re up to this week. You can also leave your link on their posts so other local gals can see what your up to.
Also, if you’re on twitter, you can use the hastag #52newthings when you tweet about it.
Not all my peeps are local, so leave a link here too! I can’t wait to read what you’re doing. We all need some ideas and inspiration!
You are hilarious. I am a life long parter on the left. So much so, that I part my kids hair on the left too. No changing for me
When I saw your tweet I decided to copy you and use this as my resolution also!!!
So the first week I went to the Papa John Bowl festivities in Southside. I know Bham has had this bowl a couple of years but we have never taken advantage.
We had a blast!! They did a great job and I got to meet many nice people from S Carolina and U Conn!
Thanks for the 52 new things idea!!

Since I read that you were doing something like this as a New Year’s resolution, I have really been thinking about it. I’m going to try something new each week too. One thing that I’ve done new this week is actually read and comment on some of the blogs I “follow” rather than just look at the pictures. Ha. Thanks for inspiring me to do something new.
You are so wild & crazy!!! Love it!! Give me a week or two to come up with something & I’ll have to start linking up with you!!
And btw – I’m a ‘to the right’ kind of gal!
I’m a to the right girl too…because i think the right side of my forehead is slightly higher than the left, and so I part my hair to make it more even. i am weird, i know. anyway, i may do this 52 thing. i like the idea. but i need to go to bed right now, so…maybe tomorrow?
i could write a book about the perils of hair parts! anguish, i tell you!
Yay! I’m excited, I just entered my link!
