Haircut and Guitars

Since I'm turning 31 in a few days, we decided it was time for a new hairdo. I've gotten in my same rut again. With the exception of a couple years having it short, I've pretty much had the same type hairstyle since high school. It has gotten curlier for sure (each pregnancy it curled more). Some times I do straighten it with a blow dryer and a brush, but most days I let it curl and I pull it up the sides (I can't stand for it to fall in my face all the time looking down at kids). So I hunted on the Internet for a good salon. I found one in north Arlington and called for an appointment. Surprisingly they could get me in the next day. I gave this lady full reign. She was really good and asked alot about my hair and my routine. I told her we could do whatever she thought would look best. She ended up doing lots of layers and surprisingly more bangs. She styled it straight with a flat iron since the curls were flat from all the combing but said that curling should even be easier with all the weight and thickness gone. At this salon they also touch up your makeup for you before you go. I had to go straight from the salon to pick up Ryland from school. (I was a little bit late) He didn't recognize me. He said it was more the face than the hair. (I hardly ever wear lipstick or gloss of any kind). It was fun though. I really liked the lady and appreciated her telling me what she was doing and why. I might have to go back there when it's time for another cut.

After - we'll see how it goes after I wash it and attempt the curls.

This evening one of Leland's former students came by for supper. He is in a band and living here in the metroplex. It was good to see him again. He was always one of Ryland's favorites. He played the drums in high school and Ry loved to watch him at the football games. Ryland won a guitar at Six Flags last weekend so he pulled it out when Cody got his out. Ryland loved it. Cody asked Ry about school and who his best friend was. Ryland responded "you Cody." He's just so cute.
