It's Monday ...

... and it's my birthday. As I get older birthdays become a bit more depressing. Not depressing because I'm getting older, but just less exciting. I can remember my birthdays while I was growing up were so exciting. As soon as the New Year rolled around, I would count down the days until my birthday. When it finally came the whole day was filled with excitement, cupcakes in the classroom, and my mom would have the house decorated with streamers and balloons when I came home from school.

I guess I shouldn't use the word "depressing." Because I'm not depressed about my birthday. I guess I'm more forgetful. I'll have to remind myself that it's my birthday during the day, which is a little sad. This doesn't mean that I don't want presents. Really, presents are awesome!

Other things happening with me:
I finally cut my hair. I cut it a lot. Like, almost 17", a lot. It's the shortest I've ever had my hair, ever. I can't even pull it back. I'll post before and after pictures in a bit.

The "natural" way of life I posted about before is going well. I've discovered that just being conscious about what I'm putting in my body and into the environment makes a difference. I know you were all wanting a favorites list of my natural products, but I still have a lot of stuff to try before I feel like I can say something is my favorite. So that post will be delayed.

Things are going great with the new job, it's been busy, hence the lack of posting. But I love it. It's been a long time coming.

So, that is all.

Happy Birthday! I can't wait to see your hair. I'm pretty sure I've never seen it short, not even in pictures.

Happy Birthday! You're right about adult birthdays being a little less exciting, but I hope you have fun on your day anyway!

Happy birthday, again! :)

Did you donate your 17" of hair?

That is un unreal amount of hair to cut all at once. You are brave.
