Girlfriends and New Hair

It isn't often these days that I'm able to spend time with my girlfriends. With work, school, marriage and cats there are few hours left in the week for da girls. I was fortunate enough to be able to pin one of them down today - Leah, who has become a very dear friend of mine these past few months. (Access Leah's blog through my links section). We had coffee at Metropolis in Edgewater, went to an incredible bookstore called Left of Center, which is right next door to Metropolis, and went shopping in Andersonville. I officially started my Christmas shopping, and bought for my sister-in-law who is expecting. Among the places we went in Andersonville were Surrender, Paper Trail, and Alamo Shoes. My did we have fun!!! Nothin' like shoe shopping in Andersonville on a Saturday with a good girlfriend!

I was also able to show off my new haircut - a short blonde shag that hangs down past my eyebrows. My stylist, Billy, gave me a very cute cut. I've been dying to get my curls chopped because frankly a curly blonde bob just isn't ME anymore. I LOVE my short hair!!! I think it suits me perfectly, and makes clothes look better on me somehow. I think most curly heads would agree - you either ARE your curls, or you choose to NOT be your curls. They are so dominating! I'm choosing to be more face than hair, and furthermore, more personality and authenticity than a wanna-be girly girl.63333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333 - That 6 and those threes were just contributed by my darling Harrison, the cat.

Now I'm drinking ginger tea, listening to the rain and VH1 Classic Rock on TV. Ahhh. What a nice weekend!
