I wish I had something coherent to say, but I just used up the last of my brain power writing about eating over on my other blog about my diet, The Amazing Shrinking Mom. I also posted a few pictures, one taken this morning so you can see my new shorter hair.
Speaking of my new hair . . . the other day, my colorist was here to banish my roots with her magic highlights. She kept remarking about my new short hair: “That hair cut makes your face look so thin!” I never bothered to mention that my weight loss of 36 pounds (so far) might have something to do with the appearance of my thinner face. She really thought it was all because of my miracle haircut!
This afternoon, my husband was supposed to take the boys to a birthday party in Seattle. (Tukwila, if you want to be picky.) Then, alas, he remembered that a church leadership meeting was scheduled for tonight, so not only did I have to take the boys, I also had to bring my daughter. (The party took place at one of those super-loud places where you buy tokens and play miniature golf and ride in go-karts and more!)
Everyone had fun (I will post a photo-booth strip of pictures tomorrow as proof!), but we were there from 5 p.m. until 9 p.m.! Add travel time to that and you will understand why my brain is liquefied and why I have nothing to say here. Don’t you just hate when the weekend vanishes before you get around to cleaning out the storage room? Yeah, me, too.

I’ll check out your new look.
And then I’m headed for bed. Up early tomorrow to herd kids off to school.

Oh Mel, that hair is adorable, especially with the combatting of “cocker spaniel curls”.
I’m glad that you had fun with the family at the party, but I completely get the fried brains bit. Mine us usually fried because someone made me share the skeet ball. I just love that game…

You know, your post reminds of something someone said to me the other day. In the past I’d often go get a haircut and people would ask if I’d lost some weight (not a chance). Just last week someone asked me if I’d cut my hair. Yeah, about 13 lbs of it!

I find it most bothersome when it is over just as I am realizing it is the weekend.

Hi Mel!! You look fabulous! The new haircut makes you look years younger…and if I’ve forgotten to say it – YOU look very beautiful 🙂
Infact the photo has this ethereal quality about it…but you can make out very clearly indeed the weight loss. Looking good!
