Whee!

A little blurry, but a look at my haircut. Definitely shorter than 2″, but still a nice haircut. No complaints, really . . . it just means it will take that much longer before I need to get another haircut. I like to stretch them out as much as possible, you know!
Speaking of hair, I posted about Weffriddles on the Naturallycurly.com forum a couple days ago and there are about four pages of entries from people pulling their curly hair out . . . hey, why should I be the only one to suffer??
We took a rare, Sunday outing today, too. Usually, Sundays are the days I stay home, do housework, laundry, bake–all that stuff–but since I’m taking tomorrow off from work AND it was a beautiful day, we took Chappy to the park.

When we got there, the playground was completely empty of kids, so we took advantage and climbed up there ourselves. (Dogs are officially not allowed, so don’t tell anyone, okay?) And yes, we DID go down the slide after Mom snapped the picture. I pulled Chappy into my lap and . . . whoosh! . . . suddenly he was on the ground and looking at me, like, “How did we get down HERE? Human kids do this for FUN?”
Anyway, it was nice. About 50 degrees and sunny, and we saw a few other dogs for Chappy to introduce himself to . . . a visit to the park is incomplete without seeing other dogs, you know. We even saw someone who recognized Chappy for a Boykin Spaniel. That almost NEVER happens, but it always makes me happy when it does.
Afterward, we came home and Mom and I spent much of the afternoon sitting in the living room with our cross-stitch (Mom), reading, knitting, and spinning (me), and spending time with the Christmas tree, which Chappy seems to enjoy as much as we do.
Gotta love dogs with Christmas spirit, huh?

Tannenbaum.
House Calls



Looks like a great haircut. I suffer from haircut anxiety too. And mine grows so s l o w l y it seems to take forever to get over a bad one.
Have I ever shown you the picture of Pearl going up the slide?
The haircut looks like a success. That is the kind of hair I wish I had. Yes, yes, I know, you would rather have straight hair like me. My husband and I have this conversation on a regular basis. (he’s curly)
Cut looks good. Not too short, but trim and neat. It was about the same here today. Lovely. Have a great day off!
Haircut looks good!
Looks like a great day. Hey, I remember going down that slide with my monkeys this past spring
Weeeeeee….clunk……
I can picture you and Chappy sailing down the slide. More importantly, from a non-human perspective, I can see the quizzical look in Chappy’s eyes.
The haircut looks great. I took Java down a slide once, she didn’t like it one bit.
Nice haircut. Sounds like a wonderful Sunday afternoon.
Love the haircut! My hair always gets really happy (read curly) after a trim!
I think Max would flip out if I tried to take him on a slide. He’d never make it up the ladder!
I put my tree up this weekend too! I love having the twinkling lights and a warm mug of tea and a warm puppy to curl up with. Ahhh. The joys of the holiday.
Sounds like the perfect kind of Sunday to me!
Great haircut!
ohhh your hair is beautiful! Such lovely big curls!
Beautiful hair! Holli loves the slide at the lake. She goes down on her tummy all the way into the water and paddles back around to do it again and again and again…
Sounds like a lovely Sunday!! Your hair looks great.
The new do looks very nice. Makes your hair look alive again.
The cut looks great — and I’m with you on trying to extend the time between stylist visits.
your hair looks mahvelous! i need to get mine trimmed, lol. i haven’t gotten it trimmed since last summer. the big problem is having it combed out when i go. i’m so tenderheaded, and with my length, i’m not going to put those poor ladies through that (or gents, there are a few guys who work there) as well as trying to trim my hair while they walk around on their knees. i actually had one lady refuse to trim my hair because she had a bad back, and couldn’t get down that far.
and they’re talking about weffriddles over on the limenviolet message board. somebody’s up to like level 50!
So I hadn’t heard of Weffriddles prior to reading this post – and now it has consumed my entire afternoon!!!!!
Your hair looks great! It’s funny that we tend to get cuts about the same time. I took a couple inches off and got some layers in there a week ago. Scissors were becoming a necessity with all the tangles I was getting.
Lovely hair. My overdue cut (and root job) is today. I have looked at Weffriddles and haven’t had time to go back and ponder.
In your next post you mentioned Curl Junkie. That’s not CG-approved, is it? I’m a CG-girl, for the most part, and I buy Jessicurl products. But I’m always looking for things to alternate with, as my hair apparently gets “tired” of the same thing all the time.
Ack, my hair. The trouble….
You have such great hair! Mine was corkscrew-curly until puberty, then the curls relaxed and became mostly wavy. I hated it when I was a kid, but today I kind of wish the sproingy curls would come back.
