The Great Debate


About 5 weeks ago I got a new hair cut and color (thanks Anna and Julie!!!) and since then I've had a great debate going on in my head... curly or straight?  I guess I should consider myself lucky that I have the option of either/or and be satisfied with that.  I'm not. It's more of a curiosity rather than a choice of one over the other.  Regardless, I have been bouncing back and forth between the two a lot recently to figure out which one I like better.   Straight hair is so much work.  It means 20-30 minutes to blow dry and then taking a piping hot flat iron to it until it's bone straight.  When I go curly it's super easy just wash, product it up (moose is my form of choice) and let it air dry. Seems easy but I never can tell how big it's gonna get.  I run the risk of "big bar hair" as Jess and I call it. Since I can't make my own decision,  I was just wondering what other people thought. So?  Curly or straight?  In the infamous word of Cher Horowitz (for you pop culturally challenged she is the main character in Clueless played by Alicia Silverstone.  If you still don't know who she is... give me a call.  I have a really important movie you need to watch... but I digress), "I don't rely mirrors, that's why I always take Polaroids."  So using the handy dandy photo booth feature on my laptop, I submit two pictures for your consideration.  What do you think? Please help me satisfy my vanity.

Last Year

Sometimes I find myself trying to recall exactly what I was doing a week, a month, a year, a decade ago... I have to admit I can be fairly good at it.  I think there will be an argument among those present (Eric, Joanna, Jess... just let me have this one OK) but I think at this very moment we were sitting with one very lively 3 year old and one very resilient 6 month old in the Magic Kingdom.   Excitement filled the air as children and grown ups alike anxiously  awaited the arrival of Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty, Peter Pan, Aladdin, Donald, Daisy, Goofy... and of course Minnie and Mickey.   They aren't lying when they say it's a Magical Place that Disney World.
