I've tried to be understanding.....but it does get on my nerves. Well she'll have plenty of time with her friends this weekend.

We're attending a weekend long campout/pig roast/BBQ/PARTY at friends and I plan on sneaking home for a couple hours of peace on Sunday afternoon!!!

Brown is not exactly one of my fave colors and I don't wear it often, and when I do I pair either with pink or gold/copper.

I'm sure you are looking forward next week to get the routine in full gear.

Watching this hurricane I keep thinking of the first week of school last year ....we had so much rain that they closed schools for 2 days after only 2 days........and that was before Isabel closed them for a few more days later in the month.

i didn't think mine was so different, but i got a lot of compliments on the different cut and color when i was at the various kids schools this past week. this is since going to the new person. it is a little shorter and a bit lighter than it was.

well it affirmed my decision to leave my beloved conservative hairdresser, which was very hard for me to do. i had just gotten so dissatisfied with what he was doing as far as cutting my hair. i guess it is possible to get into a rut with anyone. sometimes you need a fresh eye to look at you and see what they think.
