A day in the life: hair edition

Here is my pathetic attempt at a self-portrait to capture my new haircut. She actually cut and styled it to be a sleek and straight bob, which I think looks adorable. But the truth of the matter is, with a million house remodeling projects, a busy 1 and a half-year-old, and a garden to tend to, it most often looks like this.


This is my hair when I let it air-dry, and while it may not be as cute as a sleek bob, I think it still looks quite nice and I'm thrilled to have a cut that I can wear out in public having done nothing to it and not feel deeply ashamed of myself. 

I should add that the curtains you can see a glimpse of to my left (your left? my right?) are from Target and have transformed our bedroom. I love them! I stare adoringly at them each night before I fall asleep. 

I took many shots of myself because, for some reason, angling the camera to focus on my face while aimed at a mirror is perplexing to me. I leave such deep mathematical matters to my husband. This shot in particular cracked me up though:



Lucy was playing "night night" with the kitten while I indulged in my narcissistic moment, and it's just a perfect example of the type of chaos that I love about my life right now: bed unmade, child romping around attempting to get bedtime kisses from the cat who just devoured half a mouse and left the other half on our doorstep for later. It stands to reason I should have a hairstyle to match!

Christine, this post had me thrilled. I thought it was all hilarious. The hair (of course), Lucy playing night night with the unwelcoming mousey cat, the curtains, your narcissism...thanks for sharing.
