A New Haircut

I got a haircut today...

This may not seem like much of a big deal to anyone else. After all, people get their hair cut all the time. Usually it isn't that big of a deal for me, either. However, for the last year, I have pretty much been wearing my hair in a ponytail due to my job and not really loving the way my hair has looked. I don't really like having to look for a new stylist because I don't trust that they won't ruin my hair (I have had too many horrible haircuts).

Anyway, Joe made me a hair appointment last night for this morning at 11. We had received a coupon in the mail for a free cut and style at the salon at Macy's so I decided I would try it out seeing as how I needed a haircut desperately and free is always good:) I hadn't found a stylist here in Louisville yet that I loved so I didn't feel like I was betraying anyone by trying someone new. I found a picture of a hairstyle that I liked (and Joe liked) and was all set to go.

Today I showed up a few minutes late at the salon due to my alarm being turned all the way down this morning (I guess that is what happens when you haven't used it in a year) but the girl was real nice about it. She was younger, which I was happy about, as the older ones tend to give me 80s bangs and girl versions of the mullet. She was real friendly, but didn't talk my ear off, and did a wonderful job on my hair. Needless to say, I think I will be going back to her to get my hair cut the next time I need it done. I only wish Riley's new haircut looked as amazing as mine. Joe trimmed his head this past weekend and he looks like his head shrunk. Oh well.

Now that I have an amazing haircut, I want to have amazing nails, brows, clothes...it put me in a shopping and pampering mood. I don't know how excited Joe would be to hear that. I was good though and spent no money, although I DO need new clothes since none of mine fit anymore. The joys of weight loss:) I love when I can tell them that I actually need clothes. hehe.
