This whole weekend I have been on a quest to get a St. Paddy’s Day banner/flag to hang outside my house. I don’t know why. I’m not even Irish! They had them at Michael’s, but they don’t have them in stock. So, I went over to Serendipity (expensive,very cute gift store over on Davis Island). Of course, THEIR flags were twice as much!!! Decided to go INTO Serendipity. (bad choice). They are stocked with Webkins, and my teacher’s brain snapped into spending overdrive. Remembered how Cori had a monkey webkin in her classroom, and she lets one student from her class take it home with them over the weekend. Then, they write in the “webkins” journal what they did. (actually, it’s supposed to be the webkin itself writing in the journal. And also, being a monkey, it fits with our African theme. Crap. Gonna have to buy a webkin AND a flag now.

Hair costing a fortune...
20 months ago
SO I have decided to try going to the Aveda Institute to get my hair done by the students there. That should cut the cost of highlights, cut and style in half. Trivial, I know, but important to me just the same. I may get rid of cable as well, TV sucks anyway. I need to seriously cut down on my spending…
Does this count?

Yesterday, with very little fore-thought, I chopped about 6-7 inches off my hair. It was almost boob length, and now it’s just above my collar bone. It just felt long, dry, and dead to me. In any case, it really feels like I’ve “lightened my load”. Oh! and it’s very bright, too…light blonde highlights with red streaks mixed in and my natural dark brown. I feel so refreshed! :)
