New Hair

Today was haircut day. It was a low-key kind of appointment with the daughter of a childhood friend. Amanda's mom is also my husband's cousin, but that only makes things confusing to explain... Rather than go into the shop where she works, I met Amanda at home on her day off. Conversation was casual and relaxed. Very nice. I think I even liked the fact that there was no mirror staring back at me the entire haircut. That girl int he mirror can make me a little uneasy sometimes and she is my worst critic.

I like my new haircut. It still has plenty of length, and I can pull it back into a barrette if I want to. It's just slightly layered and my long bangs go off to the left side of my face. Pretty simple, but fresh and new. We'll see if I can make it look the same tomorrow morning.

I think I may have found myself a new hair stylist. The only problem is paying her. She says she always cuts hair free for family. I didn't intend to go away without paying her, but she did suggest that perhaps I could make her a pie, a chocolate pie. Sounds like a good deal to me, and just maybe I'll find a nice gift card to go along with it.
