Fringe

I have been on the look out for a new hairdresser.  This task is not easy.  I have already tried one hairdresser just before Xmas, & was not overly impressed.  Today, during Ashie’s nap, I zipped down the street to try another one.  Much happier.

Sitting here…..

Just thinking about all the thoughts in my mind that I need to harness and put down into words!

Some things to update…..my hair is now brown again.  I don’t know why on earth I ever decide to dye it blonde as inevitably the novelty wears off in 2 weeks.  I just get bored with it being so plain old brown and boring.  But anyway, now I’m back to being brown and it doesn’t feel boring at all!

Today I bought some new shirts.  This is the first purchase of new clothes I have made in a very long time.  I can’t remember the exact date but I did complete the challenge I set.  No new clothes for spring or summer.  Unfortunately, this whole ethical fashion challenge has kind of backfired.  Instead of feeling empowered and enthused about trying to support green, ethical fashion, I find myself feeling completely deprived, longing for something brand new, I don’t care where the clothing comes from and how it was made- oh my gosh just let me feel fashionable again. I am sick of feeling/ looking quirky.  I just want some new classic clothes so I can feel halfway normal again.  Oh it’s so funny that the complete opposite has happened to what I expected.  My heart is just bleeding to spend money.  My capitalistic, consumer-driven desire is on fire.

In other news…call me crazy but I want a dog.  Yes, I know.  What has happened to me.  It’s like I’ve become possessed or something.  But I do miss having a dog around.  I don’t actually miss Jasper as he caused us so much stress and tension but surely not all dogs are like Jasper, right?  Some people seem to really love and adore their doggies, and these dogs add to their owners lives, not suck the life out of their owners like Jasper did!  Sooo…..we’ll see what happens.  Obviously any decision we make in this regard will not be made lightly.

Allright, that’s enough from me.  I am taking my crazy self off to bed to prepare for tomorrow’s lesson.  You heard me, I am a teacher who plans in bed.  Ha.
