Chop Chop

I cut off all of my hair yesterday. Well, not all of it, but I did take off nine inches and am now left with the shortest hair style I've had since I was a baby. I've always been interested in having short hair and now that I have it, I have to admit, I'm a little devastated. I have always liked my hair; it's been the one constant that, whenever I'm feeling crappy about how the rest of me looks, my hair would be good. And now it's gone. I now have to decide if I want to go shorter to a true pixie cut, or just admit that I was wrong and figure out how to grow my hair out with a tiny bit of grace. And buy lots of hats. I'm trying not to get too done about it, but I am still really sad. It's only been 24 hours so I'm giving myself a few more days to see if I can figure out how to make it work. But until then, I'm just going to wallow in my sadness.

Backseat Driver

This just made me really happy today. I wish I could have been a backseat driver for the trip.

The Year to GSD

So, this is my 2016 resolution. It's my year to get the things done that I've been saying "Someday I'm going to...." about. Such as, "some day I'm going to swap my jeans and purses so I can reach my jeans better" (happening this weekend, by the way) or "Someday I'm going to start recording the little things that make me happy so when I find myself in a funk I can look at the list". This blog is for that purpose. I used to blog when we lived away from family to keep them in the loop. It was great for about two years and then life happened and the blog stopped happening. It's been a solid 5-6 years since I last touched that blog. I'm starting this one just for me. Sure, there will be entries on the things we're doing. And, my family that is now 1,000+ miles way would probably like to read a record of what we are up to on a daily basis, but that's not what this is for. It's a way to record the little and big things that make me happy. So, let's do this!
