Never satisfied....

So yesterday I made an emotional and somewhat irrational because it was impulsive decision.
I cut 14" off my hair.

That wasn't exactly my intention -- though I wasn't opposed to it happening either.


I just wanted a change. A better style. My hair was so long, and too long to wear down so I wanted to change. And knowing that I couldn't get into a stylist that I wanted to get to on such short notice, I went with a new stylist near the store. Great cut - but not what I asked for.


What I presented them with was this: If I was to keep my hair on the longer side and only take off a few inches - I wanted it all layered in the back - and layered around my face like I always do. If I was to go dramatically shorter - I wanted an above the shoulder bob cut, which would be something very fun and different.


What I got....was a shorter version of what I already had, just below my shoulder and all angled into my face. To say I don't love it - is probably an understatement. I mean, it's a nice cut - my angles are smoking, but the back is blunt and I feel like it's all disporpotioned. I almost feel like a Bichon Frise dog, with the round hair cut. I'm sure it's fine but the bottom line is that I didn't get what I was looking for.


I was every hair stylists dream yesterday: a blank canvas, just waiting to be created into a masterpiece. And it's a little disappointing that I walked out with just a very short version of what I walked in with.



It is, what it is. And it will grow -- rather quickly, actually.
And then....I can try again.

Wow, feeling pretty darn stupid right about now....

Or blonde.

So, I always thought central vaccum was a system that you flipped a switch and somehow, all the dust in the house would be gone. And the funny thing is, anytime I said a house we looked at would have central vac, the response I'd get would be along the lines of "oh, that would be great - so much less dust!". That's what I thought too!

Clearly, I thought central vaccum was this magical thing that kept my house sterile.
Well....

I decided to look up on Google for some information on how it works - and saw a video that showed me that yes Rebecca, you still have to vacuum your house. I just don't have to carry the whole damn Kirby from room to room anymore....I can just carry the hose attachment.

Which is really very sweet.
But not quite so magical.....
