I have been wanting a haircut for MONTHS, but I haven’t been in the mood to dedicate a portion of our little budget to my HAIR of all things. I would rather use the $20 on something more exciting, like a new dustpan or some sweet glass Pyrex bowls for our kitchen. This month, I managed to squeeze all 3 of those things into our budget!
I have had my eye on these beauties for a while. They are awesome. And so useful. I try to set a little dinero aside for kitchen improvements each month. One month all I could manage was a set of silicone whisks. But man I love those guys. Bit by bit, I am stocking my kitchen with lovely, quality supplies. Jeff thinks it’s funny how excited I get about new kitchen gadgets, big and small. I LOVE kitchen stuff! I can’t resist rejoicing about them each time I use them!
If you think I’m weird for getting so happy over some glass bowls, you’ll definitely think I’m crazy for loving this dust pan so much! We have had the same stupid, warped old dust pan for the past 3 years. I had to push down on the middle of it to get the dust to go in—not underneath—the dustpan! It finally cracked when Jay dropped it one too many times. YAY! I invested 4 whole dollars in this awesome tall dustpan. Since our vacuum only does carpets, we have to sweep our hard floors all the time. This dustpan really makes sweeping a breeze! Oh the small joys in life.
OK, I’ve put it off long enough. Here’s the “before” picture (pre-haircut, that is). It had been almost a whole year since my last hair cut!
Annnd the after-shot. The lady straightened it so it looks especially CHOPPED. It’s so nice to have less hair to handle! I walked a few blocks over to one of the 500 salons in this little town, sat in between two interesting women who were getting their hair painted, and endured half an hour of rather vapid conversation about lyposuction, laser treatments, and botox. And you wonder why it’s been almost a year since I had a haircut? Salon-talk is SO not me!
Freedom! for another year…
And now, for the REAL reason anyone reads this blog:
Irresistible sleeping baby Rose: droopy sleepy cheeks! She grew out of most of her size newborn clothes this week. Maybe that means she’s old enough to start sleeping more at night now? Last night she only woke up once between 10pm and 7am! That was NICE. Let’s keep it coming, Rose!
I had a fun little video of Jay, but it’s not working right now. So later, gator!

Shaina, you are hilarious. If I would have known you were wanting a haircut, but wanted to save the $$$ I would have secretly left you $20 in your mailbox! It looks great, though. How did I not notice it at church today??? I am seriously so blind! Also, I apologize for my weirdo comment in the mother's lounge today with you and Stephanie. I'm sure you remember the one, but if not, thank goodness.
Looks great Shaina! I also love your new glass bowls, I want some :)
LOL, this was such a cute post! And I'm right there with you! When you've gone for so long with the old, even the simplest of the new is beyond description of ultimate delight! And can I just say I love your gorgeous hair???! Very cute! I've been dying to get a haircut myself :)
