Here's the new hair. I do think it will take some getting used to. As you can see it looks pretty similar to the before shot. The cotton candy pink was *really* pale. Still rather blond in the front, red in the long strands. Hmmm...



Anybody been to a grocery store called Fresh & Easy? I noticed one in Eagle Rock? There were hardly any shoppers, (which I loved! I like Trader Joe's, but it is always so crowded. I hate fighting to get through an aisle.) it was in a big lovely warehouse space, had great prices and really cool selection. It was as though Trader Joe's and Vons had a baby.


Speaking of babies, they even had parking for parents with kids. I wasn't sure if this was lame or cool. Big spaces in the front (alongside the handicap parking) would probably be really helpful for folks with strollers, but, I don't know. It made people with strollers seem like VIP's, and as a non-stroller person, I didn't like that. I guess I'm stroller-ist. I do like people with strollers, hi Bre & Daisy, and I'd bet these parking spaces would be really helpful for them. Would it? Is this a good idea? Does it make you feel better about the progressive grocery store, Fresh & Easy?

Okay, off to keep packing and decide what to do with my hair.

Morning Dress, Afternoon Dress

It's Tuesday. We are starting off on an adventure. Going to interview and film drifters from San Jose. Wow. I read that last sentence and think, 'Like in the Grapes of Wrath?' No, not vagabond drifter, more like guys who go crazy with their cars a la Fast & Furious, Tokyo Drift. I may or may not be updating the next few days, but I hope to get plenty of pictorial evidence.


Also, my look had remained rather static since I went dark brunette in October. The photo to the left is how we looked this morning, however. I was a blonde redhead. As of this afternoon it has gone quite cotton candy. Four months is a long time for me to go without altering my hair in some way, and to go shocking pink now.... I'm not sure about it. I'm telling myself it is for Valentine's Day. We'll see how long I keep it up. I didn't like the brown, but it was easy enough and my natural hair color didn't look that different as it grew out. But it was fun this morning to play with it and do all the color processing.





But have you seen!! The baby trees in our backyard have gotten their leaves! Now they are not just sticks stuck in the yard, but are becoming actual trees! Our little garden is quite happy here with all the sunshine. It always amazes me that anything up and grows on its own. But here it is, leaves and everything in February, just like Tree People said!
