Well, for the most part. my beloved and i bickered a bit on saturday - but our plans kept us in different places, so there was not a toxicity to build up too much, and we made up before sleeping, and he (as he does every night) scratched my back for 1/2 hour while we chatted in the dark ....

Thing One and I *loved* Harry Potter. she is a very exuberant girl. We took the T home, and she was chattering on and on about all the differences between the movie and the book. She was highly affronted about many differences (i.e., that hte dragon broke its chain; that the Beetle wasn't there - and worst of all .... where were the Blast Ended Skrewts??!!). People on the train were rather entranced by her analysis of the movie -- and she was clueless. Ah, my Thing One. She is often clueless about the social environs around her.

Thing Two had two birthday parties to go to. She had a great time.

Haircuts!!! They went great! I love mine. My hair went from 1/2 way between the bra strap and the waist to flirting with the shoulders. 10+ inches came off, which means Locks of Love is getting My Hair. What's left is now flippy and light and bouncy - rather than heavy and drab.

Thing One - her length was as long as mine (also closer to 12 inches than 10 ... therefore donated!), and now it is much shorter, and frames her face in a lovely way. And her hair looks healthy and strong and silky around her wonderful face!!! (Did I ever mention that she looks a LOT like me?)

Thing Two was not scheduled to participate in the festivities. Due to her own refusal. Thing One and I were in the chairs while Thing Two sat watching her family's transformation with huge eyes. Then she said perhaps a trim? Then she said, well, perhaps a cut like Mommy's? Then she got in the chair, and her hair was just shy of the 10 inch minimum for donation, and she finally gave in - okay, do the extra 1/2 inch!! And now - she looks fantastic! She had very long blond, but slightly thin and drab hair. Now she has very perky flippy beautiful blond hair!
Now my Beloved is introducing the girly-q's to some Buster Keaton and Charlie Chaplin (which they LOVE!!!) and I'm off to shower so I can try my own hand at making my new hair presentable.

Since this is a week "off" for me ... I have the very ambitious goal to give the cold weather the finger and start some regular Exercise. I plan to go for a bit of a run/walk/jog in the a.m. tomorrow, as the beginning of a new routine. Since school won't be keeping me up until all hours, I should be able to rise and shine early enough to get some exercise in. Tomorrow's day One. Please wish me luck. I miss the very thin and svelt zuska. I deserve a new body-image to go with the new hair-image.

Wow you have long hair! Mine is just at the bra strap, the longest it's been in my life. I'm not sure if I want to cut it, but then, newly cut hair feels so good. Still trying to convince my daughter to cut her hair. I love a good cut on young girls, the way it frames the face. :)
