I NEED a HAIRCUT ... BADLY!

I'm sure I am not the only woman who goes through this. You know when you get your hair cut (in late March) and it looks good for 6 weeks. Then you say you will hold out until the 10 week mark because those appointments are spendy. Then suddenly it is summer and you decide that maybe you would like to grow out your hair. It's hot anyway, so the updo ALMOST looks stylish.

THEN ...

School starts and things get busy. The hair goes from looking needy to a strangely good phase.

But then ...

One day you wake up and realize that there really is nothing you can do to make the hair look better. The hair is limp and the highlights are 3 inches off the root line.

WELL, that is me right now.

Checking the calendar and seeing that I had my hair cut and highlighted back on March 23rd is SHOCKING. It's been years since I let that amount of time go by. How did this happen? (I'm sure you can figure that one out)

So Friday I am scheduled, and I'm checking out a new place based on a recommendation. My 12 year old is looking online right now for some groovy hairstyles ... ones for MIDDLE AGED WOMEN. Nice, huh?

I should be back to looking better soon enough.

I can soooo relate to that! Father time just keeps on going, and before you know it you look in the mirror and think "I'm a mess!" I hope you find a good style for middle ages women:)

Just for fun, my niece went on this website where you insert a photo of yourself and try all these different hairstyles out to see which one will look good on you. It turned into a laugh fest. They were trying on "Elvis" hair styles, "Edward" from Twilight hairstyles and all kinds of other freaky things on me. I decided my hair looked best. I did, however, find a wonderful stylist and she is so affordable. I know I know...the two don't go together. Really a cut, color and style...$80.00...can't beat that. I used to pay $100.00 for the color alone and I never really liked it after it was done.
I don't know how old you are, but I know when I turned 40 my hair changed and not for the better. It's either too dry or too oily, coarse and unruly and won't hold a curl. So if $80.00 makes me feel better about myself then I'm good with it.
Do a before and after shot when you go to get your hair done.

Ok...I will pray that your Friday appointment works out. Everytime I have a hair appointment, a child gets sick, a homes cool meeting is scheduled or my husband has a night flight. I suppose it is Gods way of keeping us modest? Good luck and let us know how it goes!

Feeling every bit of 46 ... ugh!

When I was 45, I was feeling fabulous.   I was fit, energetic, and I thought I could easily pass for 40;) Age was just a number and I certainly didn't think I felt or looked my true age. Then February 11th came and I turned 46.   I have sciatica on my left side, my left knee is stiff, and I have plantar fasciitis in my right foot.   I've resorted to stretching all the time and popping the occasional anti-inflammatory.   There are dark circles under my eyes that I've had to start putting concealer on.   My hair is growing out from last years 45 year old short hair, but it's just in an awkward stage.  I can't decide if I want to cut it again or let it grow out.   I even thought of styling my hair differently by doing a different hair part.   That was a terrible idea because I was SHOCKED to see how much gray is now growing in the center of my scalp.  I also think my metabolism is slowing down because my mid section seems a little thicker ... ...

"The Loveliness of The Seashore"

What is the "Seashore" like? "Where the sky meets the sea ... The seashore is a place where the sea and the sky are the same smoky gray until ... the morning sun breaks through. The hot noonday sun feels warm as a big soft cat covering you. And it seems there is nothing in the world except the sound of the wind and the rising and falling of waves." Over at Dawn 's there are so many wonderful books suggested on her blog. Earlier this month I couldn't help but to peek at some of them ... thanks Dawn! *The above quote came from The Seashore Book . The ocean moves in and then moves out. This place where water, sky and earth meet is never the same. The tide comes in, the tide goes out, each wave that returns pushes against the incoming swell as it is pulled back into the endless depths and swallowed into the vastness of an unknown deep. Such is each day of our "daily" lives. I grew up enjoying the sights, sound, and the surf of the NY/Jersey "shor...

A scattered post ...

I throw myself into stuff all the time.  It can be anything from the start of a swim season, a new school year, the election, a vacation, an exercise routine etc.  I'm kind of in a phase where I really don't know what my focus should be.  I turned on the television and honestly, I have no idea what is on this fall season ... NO IDEA AT ALL .  If I watched television in the past few months, it was something kid related or Fox News. I NEED A NEW FOCUS. My current thoughts  ... reading a fictional, just for fun book stepping up my exercise routine thinking about our Christmas wish lists and shopping baking more ... I really am slacking in this area ways to save money so that we can get a new (second) washer and dryer for the upstairs (not a fancy kind because this would mostly be used by my oldest two children)... I actually have hookups. I wonder if a lot of people go through a sort of "lull" period this time of the year.  Surely it doesn't last long with the start ...
