Hair Today. Gone Tomorrow.

-
My biggest wish as I turned 33 this weekend was to part ways with my long, stringy locks. I am happy to say that my wish came true and I have never felt so free. My BFF Constantin did the honors and the second he cut that pony tail off-- Ahhh, instant relief. 

I was starting to think it was out to get me and I will not miss waking up in the middle of the night with it wrapped around my neck. I know people cut their hair all the time but I'm fairly certain I will never have hair this long again in my life so it feels like a minor momentous occasion worth documenting.

A couple of days before the big chop. I could almost  tuck it into my pants.
Nuts, maybe I should have waited until after I could  have put that on my resume.

However, I couldn't say good-bye without putting it to some good use first.

Sophisticated Sassy.

Long locks.

The side pony.

Why won't anyone go out with me?

Comb over curl.

Swoosh.

Ultimate Old man Comb over.
I realized as I was typing this post, you'd probably be expecting an after picture so here you go. Please forgive my appearance, I just worked out and I'm in my PJ's.


Oh wait, I do have one from my birthday:
Yes, that is an Oreo Blizzard ice cream cake and yes, I did gain 3 pounds in 24 hours.

    Mmmmmmmmm...... Oreo blizzard ice cream cake. (I'm a guy, so that is my takeaway from your post about your haircut)

so i heard about this thing going around the blog world where you go to 'google' and type in your name followed by the word 'needs', example: "Jaime Needs" and see what comes up...i decided i wanted to join the bandwagon because, well, it made me chuckle...plus, it's nice to know what all the other Jaime's of the world need; or at least what their friends writing about them think they need. now, without further adieu, here is my list (i especially like #6): 1. Jaime needs the swim of her life 2. Jaime needs to grow up and stop making those horrible faces 3. Jaime needs someone to talk to 4. Jaime needs a witness who saw the large UFO over Mexico City 5. Jaime needs some ice cream 6. Jaime needs your help growing all season long 7. Jaime needs a safe play area 8. Jaime needs to uncover the truth about Helena's death 9. Jaime needs a break 10. Jaime needs a blog 11. Jaime needs both her father and her grandfather

February 15, 2011: In the days of yore, my besties and I declared February 15th "Friend Day" so we could look forward to a back-up to Valentine's Day. Really, it came about when we were hanging out in my parent's basement on February 15th watching "Terminator 2" and I handed out some Christmas presents I had forgotten to give to some other acquaintances. Presents = a holiday and thus, "Friend Day" was born. The three of us don't often see each other any more (because Elissa had to go and move to Boston- ahem) so I don't have any recent pictures of the 3 of us together. Nevertheless, Happy Friend Day, Amy & Elissa!

I love it when you stumble across a great weekend, especially when you weren't planning for anything in particular. Brian woke me with a kiss on Saturday and whispered, "If we're going hiking, we should leave soon." I jumped out of bed and got ready while Brian cooked some eggs and then we headed west to hike up to Crater Lake. Here's what I look for in an optimal hike: your path should lead you up and the word 'alpine' should be involved. We indeed went up and were pleasantly greeted with great alpine meadows and lakes. This picture reminds me of the bigfoot sighting pictures. After our hike, we had dinner with my parents who stopped by to pick up their dog, Eefee, after their road trip to Pennsylvania. After they left, Brian suggested we go get some flowers for the flower beds in our front window. We were smarter this time and paid attention to the fact that our big tree blocks most sunlight and got plants that don't need full su...
