I decided about two weeks ago that I needed to do something different. I needed a change. There are so many things I'd love to change right now. I'd like to change my job to a 1.0 position in one school, I'd like to be living in a house that offers room to move around and more than one floor to escape to, I'd like to spend some time in a warmer climate and just relax (Vegas!!!), I'd like to be able to get more sleep and not wake up 5 times a night, I'd like to look in the mirror and not be afraid of "swimsuit season," and I'd like to chop my hair off and not feel like it is always in my way. Well, many changes are beyond my control...except for the last two. So first of all, I've been hitting the gym pretty hard. I hurt like hell afterward, but that tells me that I'm doing something right. I haven't checked the scale yet to see how things have changed in the past could weeks, but I will eventually. That, in turn, has helped me sleep better at night. Two solutions down! The other that was under my control was my hair. I went in last week Thursday and said I wanted a bob about shoulder length. I was pretty nervous, considering my hair hasn't been above my shoulders since I was in diapers. But I have to say, that I'm happy with the results. For those of you wondering: yes, I can still wear it in a ponytail and pig tails. The day this woman can't put her hair in pig tails will be a sad, sad day.
