Beaches, Glasses, Haircuts

Random topic I know but there are just a few of the things on my mind. It's May 16, 2014. Normally, I'd be wearing shorts, tank-tops with flip-flops or some other sandal. Here, I've had to unpack my coats. I was wearing Uggs with leggings and coat last week. One of the hardest things has been learning to cope with the differences in weather. Winter was fine because it was winter. I expected it to be cold and rainy, now though, it is SUMMER! I want summer dresses and summer shoes. I want SUN! We've had a few good days of weather here and I was able to wear some summer-ish type clothes but nothing like I would have been wearing back home. I don't particularly like clothes especially winter clothes. So, I look forward to my summer wardrobe, which isn't anything special but I feel alive in summer. And on that note, I'm taking the family to the beach tomorrow! The water will likely be way too cold to get in but we are going anyway! I want some sun and fun. I'm packing a picnic and we are going do for fun. I can't wait.

Glasses.. there's been a revolution in glasses. The big, square, oversized frames. I think it's kind of cool that glasses are now so "in". I succumbed to the trend. I haven't had new glasses in 7 years! Yes, SEVEN! I still have my others and love them but rarely wear them, I'm a contact kind of girl until I can get LASIK. Anyway, I was able to pick out a new pair of glass for FREE with my contact order. That's pretty awesome. They aren't a brand name or anything, but who cares?! Now I just have to get used to wearing them.

Hair, every woman's most hated and loved topic. My hair has been giving me fits since I moved here. The water is hard, which in most cases would make it do what I want, but it makes mine feel like straw. I text my husband this morning saying I wanted to cut my hair. See, I've dyed it 3 times since we've been here! Tried to keep the blonde, that didn't work, went brunette and it was OK, then did something different and went red which is great now but only been a week. I love hair but I love when hair works right. So, this morning after my shower I decided to try something new. Nothing outstanding but I dried it differently than normal and low and behold if it didn't look fantastic! I laughed at myself. The hair gods were with me saying "DO NOT CUT!" So I listened and will live another day with long hair.
