"Well I’ll tell you, it’s about something that’s bigger than me or any single act of legislation. This is about a matter that should be at the highest importance to every American...my hair."
Name that quote.
Anyway, this chapter is of the utmost importance. It is something that all women...and men...deal with on a daily basis. Something that can compliment you, something that is the ultimate accessory.
Your hair.
Now, I know. It seems a little weird to celebrate the TWO WEEK MARK!!!! with a lengthy discussion of my hair, but this two week mark is about change.
Ch-ch-changes.
I've had a lot going on lately, and it's all been oddly, really, really positive. Sometimes it's a little scary, because I almost am waiting for the bubble to burst and unhappiness to settle back in.
Quite frankly, I don't remember the last time I was this happy or at peace. Wait...maybe I do. Hee hee. More on that later.
Anyway, I've had a lot of changes going on. At work, we lost two co-workers to other branches and gained another teller, with whom I'd worked before and absolutely adored. Well, let me tell you, after all the drama from one of the tellers that left (this woman verbally abused me in front of customers on numerous occasions and was generally disruptive to the whole branch), this new teller is a breath of fresh air. She's positive and upbeat and she gives the branch a whole different vibe. I'm happier, I'm happier about doing what I do, and I'm back to loving it again. And that positive attitude has resulted in rewards from management, and referrals galore. When you have a positive attitude, that good karma you're putting out into the universe just comes back to you in spades and I am so blessed and grateful.
I attribute a lot of this to my being ready for change, wanting change, but also knowing that I could not change everything, and learning how to deal. And once I stopped praying to God to change my life and started praying to him to give me the strength to deal with it, that's when everything started turning for the better.
The work situation, the new car, some personal life changes that have been so beneficial.
And you know what? If this is any indication of what my thirties are going to be like, then I say BRING IT!!!! I love it, love it, love it. If I've gained some maturity, some wisdom, and I'm reaping some karmic rewards for it, then I feel extremely blessed, and dare I say, GLAD to be turning thirty.
Finally glad.
And ready for change.
Lots of changes.
The most superficial of which, but arguably one of the most important being...my hair.
You see, I've been wanting this particular hair style for a really, really, really long time. Pretty much ever since they started the Smallville series on televison and Allison Mack's character started sporting the style.
Then, once Twilight came out, and I saw Alice's style, it was a reinvention of this same cut, and ohhhhhhhhhh, how I wanted it again.
Normally I go to the same hairdresser, a lot less expensive than this fancy salon I've been to before. But the fancy salon, although very expensive, has an amazing hair stylist there. She always, always, always gives me an amazing haircut. And for this particular cut, I've made an appointment with her. Even though it's expensive. Even though the cost of upkeeping it will most likely shame me, but I just want to try it.
Just once. My hair grows so fast that even if I don't like it, it won't matter. It does make me a bit nervous. A new hairstyle right before the trip, right before I'm going to meet all these people for the very first time???
What am I thinking???
I don't really know, but I know that it's time. I'm bored of my same old style, and I want to try something new. Something new to go with my new attitude, to go with all the good things that have been happening.
Anyway, here's what I'm hoping for. Something like these.
I know it would be hard for you to vote for or against given that so few of you actually know what I look like.
But anyway, I felt the changing of the hair deserved an announcement. Cross your fingers and think of me at 530pm tomorrow.
Besides...it'll go so great with my tiara.

I'm trying to hold out until after the princess marathon in March either way. If I go I'm determined to wear a Belleish offit and need to have a nice pony tail going.
