Pros and cons

Every now and then a girl finds herself in front of a big question. And I found myself facing it about a month back. I dared to ask myself; should I cut my hair?
I've had this dream of my hair going all the way down to my waist, and I've been growing it for few years now. And now, with only few inches left to reach the goal, I'm having an urge to cut it. I want an edgy hair!
Aah, but long hair, you might think, is so pretty and versatile and you look so nice and girly all the time. But the fact is it’s really boring. It just hangs there. Not to mention, that it’s getting a little too high maintenance. First of all, it gets stuck everywhere. I mean it, e v e r y w h e r e. Zippers, door knobs, other peoples arms, you name it, my hair is under it. Oh, and the wintertime mayhem! You have to wear all the scarves, and hats and sweaters, and jackets and hoods so my hair gets tangled in between and around, and I either have to tie it up or brush it for an hour after. And don't even get me started on the static hair part... And then there is also hair all around. Plus they are so long, that even if there is only one hair on the floor, it goes all the way from the bedroom to the kitchen (almost! I swear!) so it looks that there are dozens everywhere, and that I haven't vacuumed in months.
Ok, I think we are done with the cons. And the pros? Well, it does look pretty. And I do feel girly. And I can wear it on a ponytail, or a chignon, or braid it, or French braid it! So it sort of is versatile. Also, it’s kind of handy if you have to hide something on the front of you outfit, say like a bra strap, or spaghetti stain or un ugly detail of you shirt. Plus I really do loooove it.
So as you can see, this time the question is really giving me a hard time.

Wind in the hair

As the weekend flew by at the speed of a fleeing bankrobber (and doesn't it feel sometimes that there actually is someone who literally steals all your time? Timerobber maybe?) I did in fact recover quite nicely from my cold. So now I'm feeling almost as good as new (and considering how much and loud those brand new humans actually complain about their malaise maybe I feel even better than when I was all shiny and new..) and ready to get back on the train of reality. Which means that I have to say bye bye to watching movies in bed all day and grab a handful of courage from the top shelf tomorrow when I drag my quickly spoiled spirit to work.

Under the covers

I guess I have been working too much lately, because now my body said, stoooop, and caught a flu. I believe my white blood cells lost a vicious bar fight or something to some evil bacteria and showed them the way to my place.  So now I'm just letting all kind of creepy mean germs take advantage of me and organize their deliciously wild after-party inside of me, which means that while they are having fun I'm lying in bed. So yay. I'm just hoping they would be on their way out soon, and don't leave the place completely messy and destroyed.
So any good tricks to get rid of the uninvited guests in my body?

Bright for spring

 
The last two weeks I've spent quietly living behind my computer screen at work, and now that is finally changing. I'm getting a free weekend this week! Hooray! Also, spring is really making it's way even to my corner of the world, so double hooray! Sunshine and free time, the best combination in the universe!
