Big News! Well, kind of...

I haven't had a chance to write much since we've all been busy changing our hair (and spending lots of time looking in the mirror).

First, little Scotty decided it was time to start using gel. He's been incredibly low maintenance to date, so I was okay with this upgrade and three minute addition to our morning routine. The gel application takes 30 seconds; staring at himself from all angles while making silly faces in the mirror takes over two minutes. He's such a ham.

(Sorry for the poor picture quality. I took the original photo on my camera, only to find out the USB cable needed to download it was "corrupted," per my PC. Consequently, I took a photo of the photo with my iPhone. Oh technology. It baffles me.)

And now, our guy has some spikes in front. Why did he chose this, to impress the girls? Look cool? Feel more grown-up?

No, he wanted "frills" because of this:

The ever-popular therizinosaurus has frills, too.

This dinosaur hit all Scotty's buttons; long claws, smooth teeth, and cool hair. And so our little Bear decided he wanted to look like his new favorite Jurassic creature and needed his own set of frills. Scotty is very proud of his feathered head crest; just ask him. He'll gently touch his hair and smile proudly. Several classmates have commented on his new hairstyle too, making him doubly excited.

Oh, to be four.

I, as well, decided it was time for a major change and took inspiration from a German supermodel for my own hair transformation. After stumbling across this picture of Heidi Klum, I texted my stylist and asked if this was a possibility for me. I mean, I don't have her bone structure, adorable nose, perfect teeth, gorgeous lashes, slender frame or amazing collar bones, but we do *almost* wear the same shoe size. (She's a nine, I'm a ten. I'm going to ignore the fact she's four inches taller than I am. Power to the big feet!)

So about a week ago, I chopped off six inches and re-experienced the joy of a cool breeze on my neck. It was incredibly liberating to cut this much, since I haven't had short(er) hair since maybe my freshman year of college? Life is a constant evolution, right? Gotta keep evolving.

As one friend mentioned, did I do it to run faster? Not sure about that, but it definitely makes me feel more aerodynamic. I finally broke 27 minutes at a 5K last weekend, despite suffering from a wicked cough AND a toenail hanging by a thread. (so gross, people. So freaking gross. There will be no blog post or photos of my poor, sad toe).

Who knows? Maybe I'll shave my head for the ultramarathon this summer.

(somewhere, Brian just turned a ghastly shade of white. So did my mother. Just kidding, guys.)

More big news this week! Stay tuned. :-)

    About Me

    Think of this as the epilogue to Bridget Jones' story. Well, mostly. Bridget marries the handsome lawyer, starts a blog while on bedrest, and decides marathon running sounds like fun. Bridget goes through a divorce but keeps running. Hilarity ensues.
