phew! what a quarter. i am very pleased with myself, because i am done, and i stuck with the plan i made, and i required no extensions (despite issues that had come up with my project throughout the quarter), and all went according to plan. that is not, historically, zuska-esque behavior. i am traditionally a Procrastinator. i do not make plans and then adhere to them. i make plans and then adjust and re-adjust and re-re-adjust them. but not this time. but now i need to get over myself. good job, me, at age 33, you finally grew up.

and now i have a week to rest, and then i start at That Place that i'm so excited about on Monday the 28th. woo hoo!!

Busy weekend. birthday parties and harry potter movies and hair cuts.

two hair cuts, to be exact. i'm chopping my hair. right now, my hair is very long. and this quarter, it was made known to me that people who did not know me personally last year, but now do, thought of me as "the girl with the hair." just because of how long it is - it is otherwise nothing remarkable. i'm starting to feel - now that i'm entering the more professional scenes - that it's obscenely long.

and Thing One's hair is resembling her mama's quite a bit. too long. and hers is now long enough that it's getting hard for her to brush (because her arms are kind of short, since she's 9).

so we're going on sunday, and together, chopping our hair. just to shoulder length. i think we'll continue to be pretty matching in hair length.

i'm kind of sad, but resigned. i do like having long hair, but i like it for my own reasons and my own tastes - i don't want to be known by my hair. eww.

if either of you are cutting off enough, consider donating your hair to a charity -- Locks of Love is one, though by no means the only one.

Congrats on being done!

I think such things merit a hair cut. And a fun thing to do with the little one.

I wish I had kiddos to take to the Harry Potter movie. I had fun, but the kids around me were *so* excited; it would have been great share. Alas, no one around me has little ones right now.
