I have been so tempted to take the scissors to my hair for the last few days as I tried to find time for a haircut…
today I managed to fit the time in…
felt so much lighter after the cut…
the hairdresser took quite a bit off, so I shouldn’t have that urge for ages, lol…
on my way home I spotted this happy camper, even if they were stuck in the grass;-)…

I was brushing my hair recently and thinking of my grandma…
she was a force to be reckoned with… she worked all her life and struggled with health issues for a good portion of that time… she played the piano like a pro and spent the last years of her life homebound and making regular calls to shut ins to keep them connected;-)…
this was her brush, which I use every now and then… she wore her hair about an inch long and brushed straight up;-)…

my hair goes along fine and then all of a sudden it has grown like crazy…
Wednesday night it hit that it is too long phase and I marched into the bathroom and started cutting…
for years I cut it myself and then it got more difficult to get the back shaped properly so I started going to get it done…
now I usually go to Ultracuts but I also chop it off every now and then, lol…
it isn’t that big a deal as it is curly so hides any huge mistakes;-)…
came out fine this time…

I had a very busy day on Thursday…
so I didn’t have time to get a trim because my hair had apparently gone wild overnight…
instead I dug out my sharp scissors and cut my own hair…
think it came out okay, lol… although, as always, I can’t really see the back;-)…

big girl pants, charcoal, daughter, first footing, gift, hair, moments, scent, shampoo, sliver, widow
a year ago my daughter sent some gifts for a friend to drop off to me on January 1st…
amongst the items was a bar of charcoal hair shampoo… I have really enjoyed it and it is now a sliver, lol…
apparently the company may have closed, and the shampoo doesn’t appear to be available…
I went online and found something that might work, ordered it and it arrived last week…
not sure if it is going to work… it has a fairly strong smell so I have set it out on the window ledge in the bathroom and will see if the smell dissipates…
then I will try it on my hair and see how it goes…

I last had my hair trimmed in November, when Hilda the gardener, who is also a professional hairstylist, came to give me a cut at home…
for the last few days I’ve been struggling with it… that all of a sudden too long phase…
this morning I did some of my own trimming…
certainly no purple these days, and I do miss it…
came out nicely, lol… and feels so much better…

well, I guess all those years of cutting my own hair paid off…
came out great;-)… and there is still a tiny bit of purple in it…

had a lovely evening…
headed to Polo Park with a young friend after work…
stopped at Ricki’s and found a jacket, and a purple plaid jean (kind of) shirt… on Saturday I had picked up two cute tops as well… both with purple flowers on them…
then we had supper at Moxie’s…
wandered through a few stores and headed home…
got my hair purpled yesterday so I will be all matched up when I wear the new clothes, lol…

yesterday I went and had my hair purpled…
spent the entire appointment chatting with my stylist ‘s two year old… such fun to visit with little people…
hair came out nice too…
today I went for a pedicure… last night my daughter suggested I step out of the box and go with something other than purple, lol…
so I chose mauve;-)… also had the paraffin treatment…
all prettied up;-)…
