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.

Dude, 2022 was Intense

I can’t believe it’s already May. Pretend it's still January and I'm on top of things. 😬 Every January I do a reflection post on the previous year, but this time around I just couldn’t fathom wrapping 2022 up in a succinct little package of ‘here is what I learned and how I grew’. Instead, I felt more inclined to map out the timeline of our second adoption and how I learned and grew throughout that process. So, this is the story about our big life event that occurred early spring 2022, when we met Bennet. It’s going to be long because I want to preserve the details for myself, before my mom-brain confiscates them and hides them in some back-brain drawer that I’ll never find again, the same place it stored my ability to remember what I did or said 14 minutes ago. Here’s the TLDR (“Too Long Didn’t Read”) synopsis for those who don’t care about details: after 1 year and 3 months of process, we were chosen to parent a second child in March 2022… and then things went sideways for a

Jaime Needs...

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.

February 16, 2011: I call this one "Life is not fair". I have been summonsed twice since living in Westminster so when I saw this in the mailbox my heart sunk...until I saw BRIAN'S name on it! Yay! When he came home I was all giddy when I showed it to him and said, "It's about time!" Turns out his court date is March 28th and we'll be in Vegas for my 30th birthday. How does he always get off so easy?! Life is not fair in this house. Humph.
