But I think I'm liking it....It is a bit longer, for a short cut, than I wanted... so it just means I'll be going back in for a re-trim a bit sooner than I expected. but for now, it works.
How was your holidays? I loved all the winter fun comments on the last post. They helped me get into the mood for the cold months a little bit more, and I am ready. Right now, I am in my husband's fleece bathrobe, I have mulling spices simmering on the stove (yummy yum yum!) and all is calm, all is bright.
Our Thanksgiving was marvelous. We stayed at home, lounged around, I got a GREAT nap, and we did our own small, half-fake Thanksgiving dinner. (by fake, I mean-- Boxed stuffing, jar o' gravy, boxed potatoes, turkey breast instead of the whole bird)... And both halves, fake and un-fake, were DELICIOUS. I was super proud of my sweet potato casserole and my apple crisp. And we all three loved the pace of a gentle, small, just-us gathering. It could not have been any better.
Now, December hits. And with it, the ever-present frenzy to get things done, no matter how good my intentions are to be more prepared ahead of time. I have about nine more photo sessions to finish editing, and then I can work on MY stuff-- the things for my family, my son, my friends... Things that involve cooking, baking, sewing, gluing, assembling, etc. etc... the fun stuff.
In fact, tomorrow, I'll introduce you to a new friend of mine. He is small, and not very fancy, but I already love him. And I am hoping Noah will love him too...But that will be tomorrow.
Today, I have work to do, and a baby that is finally napping. So I am off... in my newly-short hair-still-looking-scary-from-sleep... in my husband's bathrobe... Ready to clean a bit, edit a bit, decorate a bit.... GET DOWN TO WORK.
Happy Monday!
I like it a lot. Hot mama!
ReplyDeleteYep, the new cut is super cute. I'm glad your Thanksgiving was nice. I wish mine was as low key. I feel like my last week was a total blur. Oh well, tis the season right! I'm looking forward to finding out about your new "friend!"
ReplyDeleteI have a hunch who this new friend might be, but I'll just leave it at that. Merry December!
ReplyDeleteum. . . I like the hair, first. And I'm glad you've settled into it. And that's SUCH a good call. Just go back a little earlier for a trim when it hits the awkward stage that haircuts inevitably do. And now I am TOTALLY curious about your new friend. . .
ReplyDeleteLike I said, the hair cut is totally cute!
ReplyDeleteAnd is this the friend that I offended the other day when I said he wasn't proportioned correctly? ;)
I like it. It is hard to get used to a new cut sometimes. I totally missed the post about you going to NKOTB! I totally wanted to go. My sisters all went in Salt Lake, and I am bummed. How fun. Good luck shopping, and decorating. By the way, are you losing weight?
ReplyDeleteKirsti- Totally that friend. He MIGHT forgive you.
ReplyDeleteBrit- I WISH! I think, though, it is just my selective photo choosing that always manages to make me look better than I do in real life. I seem to be holding steady, weight-wise. Oh well... Better than gaining, I suppose!! Thank you, though, for the compliment!
I love it! Can't wait to see what you are making :D
ReplyDeleteWhen newly married and nowhere to go, we would do a 'half-baked' Thanksgiving dinner. I thought it was great.
ReplyDeleteEm, I'm proud of you for making your cozy dinner. Remember at the beginning? You have come so far! You are an amazing wife and mother.
ReplyDeleteLove the haircut...saucy, just like the mama.
ReplyDeleteI love the hair cut. You are so chic and cute!
