Tears

Last night I was watching a movie called The Evening. Stellar cast including Meryl Streep, Glenn Close, Patrick Wilson (hubba hubba, looks a lot like an ex), Vanessa Redgrave, Natasha Richardson, Toni Colette and Claire Danes. Why did this movie not make a splash? It was such a pretty story.

Any way, as with most anything I watch, I started tearing up. But this went beyond tears. I turned off the movie and I was still hyperventilating through the sobs. What the heck? I'm noticing a theme. Death and love (sibling love, friendly love, romantic love, any kind of love) brings me to sobs. I know that most people are affected by movies and will tear up, but I am flying through rolls of toilet paper on my nose, that's how bad I'm crying. And it's not just movies. Hell, it's cartoons! Anything remotely emotional and I'm choking back tears.

It's therapeutic. I don't know what it all means, but it means something. And I'm grateful for it.

Another year, another birthday

Another opportunity to be grateful for life - white hairs, fine lines & all. :-D

Got the lawn mowed

Lame and short post, but I just got a haircut that I LOVE and had to share with y'all. The last two haircuts I had were horrendous. In fact, the last one was so bad and so short that it took FIVE months for me to get it to a length where I could have it cut again into a look I wanted. I'm no hair guru and I've had some butchered haircuts in the past, which I've always brushed off since I knew it would grow back. But even I was stunned and horrified at the last one.

Anyway, this is a happy time for me since getting thick, curly hair cut by someone new is always a roll of the dice. In this scenario, I won!

I found the photo online and thought it was cute. That's not how my hair looks now but is indicative of how unruly and LARGE it looks when long.
