Is This a Good Look for Me?

Last Tuesday afternoon I took the hair-type leap and cut all my hair off. I was pretty nervous, but my hair was very long due to the fact that I have not had time to get a haircut in forever, and I did not mean to grow it out. Because I did not really mean for it to get so long, I was not as nervous as I guess I could have been, but it was still like letting go of a security net. And my neck is cold now. Now that it is done I really like it and I got to work 15 minutes early on Wednesday because it took so much less time to style it. I have been told I look more grown up but in a "good" way, whatever that means. Soooooo....you likey??



David also got his hair cut last weekend, THANK GOD!!!!! He starts his job on Monday and we are going shopping in Austin with my sister tomorrow for her school clothes and David work clothes, or big boy clothes, as my sister calls them. I worked the last three days of this past week, but I start full time officially on Monday too. The new flavor exhibit will be done on Friday, and I am very excited that yesterday we moved the Apple computer from downstairs up to my desk. Now I work on a Mac both at home and at work, which is exciting for me. Starting my new job has gotten me to thinking lately about how I have changed over these past few months. Even though I am only 22, I am and have always been mature for my age. I am married and a college graduate, and honestly I love to just stay at home and knit and play on the computer or watch TV. I love what I do all day, and at night I just love to be with Dave and DJ and do things I dreamt of having time to do when I was in school, like my laundry. I think it is also different for me than it is for my more going-out-type friends because I have basically tried to make our apartment a home instead of just some place we sleep at night. I feel like I am developing really rewarding and important relationships with the people I work with and their families, and I would honestly rather be at game night that at happy hour. However, this is not going over too well with my friends, who expect me to still go out and party. That is fine sometimes, but I can't see doing that regularly anymore. I love my friends because they are amazing and help me remember not to be an old married lady, but I kind of am an old married lady, so what can you do??

In other news DJ will be starting dog training classes next saturday, and I had to go today when they tell the owners what to expect. I expect that DJ will do whatever the hell she wants to, so I am really just doing it to keep mom company. Updates on how that is going soon to come. ~Mary Beth
