Hair cut

So, I'm giving up on my attempt to grow out my hair. I was doing it because I love the way long hair looks when it's curled all beautifully, but then I realized I'll never have time to style my hair like that, because it takes too long, and I don't care enough. So, I'm chopping off all my hair. But, since my husband is being NO help whatsoever in helping me choose I style, I come to my trusty group of blog readers!

If you have any other styles that you like that you just happen to have a picture of, I'm open to more choices, this is just what I found that I like. Let me know what you all think! 

Beach Hungry

It has been a year and a half since I've been to a beach.

I'm getting anxious to go to one again.

The last time I went to a beach, it was in Monterey, CA, and it was in January. WAY too cold to swim in the water. 

But it sure was beautiful. 

When I was around 10 or 12, my Dad worked in California for about 10 months. I spent that entire summer lounging like a beach bum. It was wonderful. 

Since then (before then too, but even more since then) I've loved going to the beach. 

And frankly, it's been WAY too long since I've been. Basically, this post is me whining that I REALLY want to go to the beach! 

By the way, all these photos were taken at the beach in Monterey. Yep, point and click camera. They turned out really pretty, if you ask me! Thanks for reading!
