Changes
Maybe it’s the cold weather (Oh man has it been cold here!), or all the other change that’s happening in our lives (moving soon, plus lots of other things I’ll share in the coming weeks), but I felt like yesterday was a good day for a hair cut! Not just any hair cut though, a bit of a more radical hair cut.
The hair dresser was hesitant to say the least when I told her that I wanted my hair in an angle- shoulder length one side, and the length it is now at the other (nearly at the bottom of my back). She tried to show me other hair styles, but to be frank, they were all ‘normal’ hair cuts. And I’ve had boring long hair for a while now. I wanted something interesting. Something different.
After convincing her that radical hair was not new to me, she agreed to cut. 60-odd dollars, and over an hour later I had been pampered with hair washing, major cuttage, and a straightening. Thankfully when Luke got home, he loved it. I hadn’t actually told him I was getting a hair cut (it was very impulse), let alone chopping off half the hair he adore so much…
It is hard to believe that on the short side my hair is 100% natural. O. M. G. It has literaly been about 11 years since I have seen my natural hair colour like this. You can see in the second picture that it gradually gets lighter. I’ve had the whole spectrum of colours before, dark brown (nearly black), to red, to blonde with white streaks at our wedding. So if you have a colour suggestion, I’m probably up for it (unless it’s orange- doesn’t suit my skin tone)!

Feedback and Changes
Today I got some feedback from Nadiah saying that she was having some problems leaving comments and subscribing to this blog’s feed. I am so thankful that she let me know, and I’ve spent the night (hopefully!) fixing the problems!
Problem One: The RSS Feed
Some of you may have noticed a few weeks ago I added the domain http://lifesvisualjournal.com to this blog. This was after a change in name quite a few months ago. Because I hadn’t completed the entire URL change-over some problems have occured. I am SO sorry about this.
To solve this problem I have completed moved this blog over to the new URL: http://lifesvisualjournal.com, so all the permalinks have been changed. You can still access this blog through http://taliacarbis.com until I change that to a more general homepage.
So if you have this blog bookmarked etc. then please update the link and the RSS feed. 
Problem Two: The Comments
The second problem Nadiah had was with leaving comments. I know that Debbie has let me know that she’s had problems commenting before, so I thought it was definintely time to fix things. I have installed Disqus, a commenting system, which should make things easier for you all to comment.
You (hopefully!) have a few options to either leave a comment like you normally do, sign in with disqus and track your comments, or log in with facebook, twitter and other things. Now, this hasn’t been tested so if you could leave a comment on one of the entires for me (and let me know how you went/logged in) that would be fantastic.
If you don’t want to leave a comment you can also just ‘like’ the post- similar to facebook, but not connected.
Phew
So hopefully (wow, I think I have said that way too many times this post!), the problems are fixed! If you do experience any more difficulties then please just send me an email and I will do my best to fix it.

Does this mean I want one?
Lets get a few things straight. I don’t particularly want to write this, but think it will be helpful in the process of getting over… this. So here I go trying to explain my life away…
Who I was Two Weeks Ago:
- Slightly stressed at my job, but generally excited about where we’re going and what we’re doing.
- Somewhat of a ‘career woman’- wanting to make a difference in my industry, and achieve some sort of recognition for it.
- Happy with our (read: Luke, Pepper and I) plan for the next few years.
- Excited about planning a holiday for the end of next year- Italy.
- Wanting to have a baby, but happy to wait for the year or so until we start.
- Feeling steady on my feet with God, House, Work, Life.
- Struggling with the fact that even though I want a baby, I don’t want to leave work (I know TECHNICALLY this doesn’t have to be, but for me, it does).
- Enjoying going off to the Goldy and what not without much of a bother/plan
Then my good friend Sarah called (I was her bridesmaid last year) and told me she was pregnant. And I was… jealous. I didn’t meant to be, and I didn’t want to be. Like I said above, I’m HAPPY with how things are- with our plans and our future and my work.
So what does this mean? Every time I read her facebook status about morning sickness, or being pregnant, or anything about it my head caves in, my chest pangs, and I remember that so many people I know are popping them out- people who got married at the same time, or before us. Does this mean that I WANT a tiny person to grow inside of me and then cause me unbelievable pain, all before they start to cry and poop and make me wake up before 7am?!
To top it off I’ve had the inevitable question asked “When’s it your turn?”, more then usual, which actually doesn’t help one bit, and makes me think that maybe our plan needs revising (though we all know that with Luke as my husband, if this time frame gets revised it is only going to go in one direction- further away).
So I’m writing this in the hopes that the ugly green monster will go away, now that I’ve showed the whole entire world who he his, and why he’s here. And I guess I should remember this feeling, because in two years time, when I am up the duff, someone else might be feeling this way about me…
