Today is the summer solstice - a day I cherish and dislike at the same time. I love the beginning of summer - one of my two favorite seasons. I love the long days and the mornings that are perfect for running. I don't, however, like the thought that the days will now get shorter. I guess I just need to take my own advice and focus on the positive! Yay, it's summer!
I wore my long hair not only to work but also to a Thurston County Chamber After Hours event tonight at my friend Victoria's business - New Home Hunters Realty. (I have a hair piece I bought about a month ago and haven't worn much in public - just around friends. It makes it look like my hair goes to the middle of my back and is wavy at the bottom, like my daughter Sophie's. It's amazing how real it looks!) What a difference a hair do makes! A lot of people at work got a kick out of seeing me with long hair. I wonder if anyone who was at the After Hours will say anything the next time I see them...
Almost every day I'm reminded what a small world it is. I met a (gorgeous) guy at the After Hours who will be teaching the financial seminars I am attending in July. He weight trains with Victor - a friend of mine and the boyfriend of Sensaria's president.
After coming home for a bit, I met Vikki at Costco so she could see my hair. She just laughed! Especially when I took it off right there in front of everyone. It's fun, but I wouldn't want to wear it all of the time. I do still plan to wear my long hair to the awards dinner, though, next Saturday in Seattle. Maybe I'll keep it on all day so when everyone sees me on Sunday they'll just think I got my hair cut. ;)
Ok, enough about my hair.
Happy Summer Solstice!

A new summer haircut can make your whole outlook better! :)
So long as it's not the bowl cut your mom made you get when you were seven years old.
Hi Beth! I'm so excited to get a comment on my blog - the first one!
How'd you know about the bowl cuts I had when I was young? :)
Because we all had them at one point or another dear :)
(be thankful it was when you were young... they're harder to explain when you choose to get one)
I'll look forward to seeing the long-haired Susan when we get together in July! :)
Well written article.
