Strange Beauty Show

I just got back from my new hair salon. It's literally a block from my house, and it's awesome.

First of all, I love love my new haircut and color. She actually did what I asked, which is a new experience!

Secondly, for a cut and color it was $90. Better than the $200 I spent at the last place I went only to find that my color was indeed the burgundy I had been very clear about wanting to avoid.

Thirdly, the cut AND color took (drum roll) an hour and a half. Not the FOUR AND A HALF hours it took at my last salon. I am not joking. An hour of which was spent with dripping wet hair waiting for my stylist to finish dying someone else's hair at a rate of 1 hair per minute.

Fourthly, if that's a word, it was the most relaxed salon atmosphere. It's tiny, and it feels like you are a teenager again and you're hanging out in your friend's bedroom with records playing, and they're styling your hair. (If your friend is actually a professional stylist. Think Jessica Simpson/Ken Paves)

They also show art on the walls, and I found a piece I may be purchasing if I can convince Brendan that two white rabbits staring at each other with a cartoon bubble over their head is art belonging in our home and not way off the charts weird.

Love it.

Spring is officially here. You know how I know?

Bunny's back!

If you haven't seen this video yet...it truly is a fantastic demonstration of parenting.

Legs, pale and reticent, welcome back.

I wore a spring dress today and new spring shoes, that I was inspired to purchase as the last of the snow became dirty water.. And, I suddenly realize that I've forgotten what my legs look like.

Always a little pale and veiny, I also notice that in the flattering fluorescent light of my office, another word to describe them might be flocculent. I either missed a few spots around my knee...or it's the weakness of one small razor on a winter's worth of unnoticed growth. Yikes, or should I say, Baa.
