A new me

Do you ever have one of those days when you're willing to do something drastic just because.
Well, yesterday was one of those days!

I was standing in front of the mirror, starting to blowdry my hair, when the thought of bangs came to me. I haven't had bangs in years and I was tired of my hair....the samed tucked behind the ears look. So out came the scissors and off went 4 inches of hair. Other than the fact that I had bangs sticking out at a 45 degree angle, I felt quite liberated and I didn't even have to burn my bra.
I didn't have to go call my hairstylist and make an appointment. I just wacked them off. Boy it felt good.

Oh yeah and on Monday (it must be one of those weeks), I went down to the Clinique counter at Belk's and had a makeup remodeling (what am I, a kitchen?). My friend Jenni took Sammie for the day and so I had an hour to sit there and let someone else fawn over me for a while. Considering money seems to be tight, it was wonderful to go in and not have to pay to get pampered. Of course, I felt compelled to give the estitician a nice tip. And to top it all off, she gave me two samples of facial moisturiser, a sample mascara (which will last me 6 months) and a full size eyeliner. I was thoroughly satisfied.

So now, I feel completely redone.....a new hair style and a new way of doing my makeup. Paul is happy too because I'm now spending more time on my hair and makeup (I'm sure he often fondly remembers the time when I would not come out of the bathroom for over an hour and my hair resembled the bride of frankenstein. He would be thinking.....ahhhhh, those were the days.
