I very much miss my hair.

The goodness of this day cannot be overstated

In honor of Aretha, we had to have a huge bow.

It's hot in this old church.

Today was a good rehearsal day.

Happy Birthday to our Goose!

She requested a birthday tea at our favorite tea spot, Sweet Peas Tea Room in Battle Ground, Washington. All the birthday stops were pulled out in her honor.

mmmm, tea goodies

Horrible Haircut Hilda

I took Carter to a soccer tournament in Renton, Washington, this weekend. It was hot, humid and disgusting outside, and my hair was driving me absolutely bonkers.

So I went to some walk-in place, and a lovely young woman chopped my hair off for me.

It didn't look a thing like the picture I showed her. I HATE how short it is now.

But the hair color is gone, so that's something.

Now comes the fun of growing it out. Lucky me :)

...at our favorite river spot, Lewisville Regional Park.

And I am a happy lady.

Happy Sunday, you glorious people

Went shopping today.

I hate shopping so much that by the time I was finished, I was giving every cashier who asked a fake email address or phone number.

Unrelated: I still have my high school boyfriend's phone number memorized.

No Rain by Blind Melon

You have no idea how much you're holding inside until your kid starts singing along with this song on the radio and you ask her, "Have you ever seen the video for this?" and she says "No" and you start describing it to her and end up with your voice squeaking like a mouse and water leaking on your face

This gorgeous kid is off to the prom

Have fun, Mr. C!

The joys of growing out the gray...

It's a real laugh riot.

The phrase "if hairs be wires" comes to mind.
