I have a lot to do today and I am hoping to sneak a hair trimming (just a trim for today) somewhere along the way. I am the worst about planning ahead for haircuts. I normally just get a but up my butt to do it and then try to find someone to do it. I used to be really loyal to one stylist and then she left the salon that I went to and, since then, I haven't found anyone that I absolutely love. It has been 1 year and 5 months since I got it trimmed. Let's just say I am loving on my hippie side. Well, and I'm going to donate it. I grew up with extremely long hair and, when I went to college, I chopped it to just at my shoulders. I have played with super short cuts before and now I am at a longer length than high school. I am not quite ready to chop it off, but I am getting there. It does, however, need a trimming!
This was taken about a month ago and it is a little longer than this now. I want to have the guts to do a pixie cut, but I don't know if I can do it...I fear I will look like a 14 year old boy and from the look of those shoulders (YIKES, my shoulders are wide) I probably will. This was a straightened day, which I rarely do. My hair is actually very wavy.
Anyway, it dawned on me last night that we never talked about the "kiss" conversation. The boys started asking the illustrator when he first kissed a girl and I had to go hear this story. Granted, I already know the story, in fact, I've met ever girl he dated and am friends with one of them (by the way she is incredible at making cakes and cupcakes...I genius in flavor combinations and super cute to boot). Anyway, I wanted to know how he explained this one. It's a wonder either of us ever found each other since we both are so shy, especially when it comes to the flirting thing. I won't spill the beans on him, but I found it interesting that the boys were asking this. I can't believe my kids are getting old enough to question this stuff. Don't worry, we have a great relationship with them and we talk about everything, so they got the details. It made me think about how lucky I am to have my kids feel like they can talk with us about anything. Trust me, they are still kids and try to get away with things, but at least they know they can always come to us. Since I consider you all my friends, if you have kids or ever want to have kids, always be there for them...no matter what. Like I told my kids, I won't always agree with your decisions, but I will be there for you no matter what. There is nothing worse than feeling like you don't have anyone to catch you if you fall.
Wow, that came out of no where...sorry. I guess I needed to say my peace on that.
Well, it's Friday! How about we do something fun! How about a give away? Well, later today, I will be posting it. That's not a teaser...I just haven't typed up my review yet.
I will leave you with my new favorite pancake flavor combination...
Sauteed apples with raisins...
pure maple syrup...
and peanut butter!
This was an amazing flavor combination...
I was sad when it was over!
Have you ever donated your hair before? Tony jokes that I am donating it to merkins (which grosses me out-if you don't know what it is, I'll let you google it, I refuse to link to it). No, I am donating it to Locks of Love.
Did you speak openly about kissing with your parents? I would never have asked mine about their first kiss. I was way too shy. Labels: about me, breakfast, main course, quick bread |
Wow, Your hair is gorgeous!! I've never had my hair that long before. I can see how it'd be hard to cut it. You'll look gorgeous with any length of hair :)
