Celebratory Pampering

I really, really needed a haircut.



But I'd been putting it off until I got the first draft of the proposal done. And so, this morning, I went out for my every 8-12-week routine of a haircut and an eyebrow wax. The cut is nothing new or exciting - just 2" or so off of the same cut I've had since January. The eyebrows, I'm not too happy with... she made them a lot thinner than I usually like, and brought in the outer ends a LOT. They looked really really uneven, too, but now that I've washed more of the waxing goop out of them, it's not as obvious.

And I bought new shoes. The black heels that I bought six or so years ago finally bit it - they were fabric and the fabric is now wearing off. Not attractive. So I got these to replace them. Pointy-toed sling-backs! Stacy would be so proud. The heels are super-low (compared to what I've been wearing lately), too.

I also tried on the FABULOUS black croc mary janes but the heels were way too high and skinny for me.

New layout, and miscellanea

I was getting bored with the old layout, so I'm trying something new... Jury's still out on whether or not I actually like it.

I'm generally not a Lysol-type-gal (I believe that germs in small quantities are GOOD FOR US) but DAMN does their mildew remover work. Our upstairs shower is all sparkly now. Yay. Next project: patching up some grout that appears to be cracked. This means that we will be showering/bathing downstairs tomorrow. We'll deal.

Now I'm going to go sit on the porch in the sunshine and read (academic stuff, even!). Go, me.
