my birthday is coming up. and it’s a big one! 30 years around the sun! on momentous years such as this, i like to celebrate those in my life and who have helped me get to where i am today.

this year, i’m sending little notes doing just that. so i’ve got a bunch of blank note cards and a several books of stamps. i’ve been emailing and facebooking asking friends and family to please update me with their mailing address (something i’ve been meaning to anyway. bonus!). i initially wanted to send out as many cards as my new age, but i’ve surpassed that number already. hopefully, my thanks will be well received by all my loved ones.

several years ago, i had a friend begin to teach me how to drive his little manual car. i was starting to get the hang it. but that was then, and this is now. and now i can’t drive a manual. need to relearn it all.

so i finally made it into a salon with the help of several friends. we made it one great girls-out-getting-our-hair-did trip. this was my first time in a serious salon, so i wasn’t sure what to expect. i had a very nice stylist Piper, who really helped figure out a cut. she easily lopped of my ponytail at 14inches. i’m sure she could have squeezed two more inches, but i understand she wanted to give her some room to work with. i am quite pleased with the results. now i wonder if i can maintain it.

but my hair is in its ziplock bag with the filled out form. it’s ready to be mailed out. i am super stoked to get it in the mail.
