Catching Up and a Blog Giveaway

I am off work today, because I was on call yesterday, and I'm spending the morning catching up on blogs. When I was in school I only let myself do this every so often, and only for a few blogs at a time. Now that I'm out of school there should be more time, but I still feel that I'm playing catch-up to some extent. So, it may take awhile yet before I get back to normal!

So, I was catching up and came to Karen's blog - Karen is a long-arm quilter and her blog has some lovely quilts featured - see it here: Little Pieces of My Life. Karen has had some health problems recently and has had a long road to recovery, but it looks like she's finally made it, and to celebrate she's hosting a giveaway. Please stop by to congratulate her on her recovery and to wish her continued good health going forward.



And, as I mentioned before, I have decided to work on simplifying my life. My children are grown, I have met my professional goals and now it's time to get some balance back! So, I went to the hairdresser and asked for wash-and-go hair. Short wash-and-go hair. I've thrown in a "before" picture for comparison.


I'm still getting used to the results, but overall I am pleased. There's so much movement to this cut that the messier it is, the better it looks. My hair actually looks better after I've had it under a scrub cap all day! I can't be unhappy about that!
I have a box full of hair products for the Princess to look through - she's a girly-girl and will be delighted to play, I am sure. And I have reclaimed a lot of space in the bathroom - maybe it's time for some redecorating in there!

Opps, Forgot mention I love your new short hairdo! I bet it will be so easy to keep up AND a timesaver.

Keep Stitching,
Karen

Karen, I'm just so glad you're feeling better! Nobody should have to go through that, and I am so sorry for all you've had to deal with.

Good Morning Terri,

I love the new do! I wish I had the courage to cut mine short but I have always been disappointed with the results... plus my husband would probably have a fit if I came home with it short. lol Someday!

Enjoy your day. I have class tonight but plan on catching up with a few things around here.

Take Care,
Debbie

Love the haircut! It looks perfect with your very pretty face. :)

I wish I could post pictures of myself online. I don't because I know people from highschool look at my blog. I don't want them to see how much weight I've gained.

Anyways, I love the cute hair.

Seeing your new "do" makes me think I need to go back to short hair again. It's just so easy to take care of.

Nice do! It really is a wash-n-go style. I do not have the guts to go that short but I sure do need to visit my hairdresser soon. It looks good on such a pretty face.

Connie said...

Your new haircut looks great, Terri! That will be a breeze to take care of too. :D

Robin Beck said...

I seriously need to get my hair cut like that! It looks really good on you!

I'm where you are in life... A few days ago I organized my night stand, today I attacked the walk in closet. I'm getting rid of so much and simplifying my life too. It just makes me feel better all around.

Have fun Terri,

Robin~♥
