I was sitting at my Stitch 'n Bitch on Sunday, when someone looked around the group and remarked that almost everyone had a new hairstyle! I'm not sure if this is exclusive to northern-type communities, but at this time of year, cabin fever sets in pretty firmly. The children are antsy, the dog is restless, and we are all just so very weary of the cold. Especially on a day like today, when my thermometer reads -32C, plus a wind chill. Sigh. I long for spring, for warmth, for days of picnics and sending kids outside to play. For green and yellow and red and purple - anything but white and grey and brown.
Strange as is may seem, I am a winter lover. I can wax poetic about snow falling, curling up by the fire, walking among the bare, silver trees, the glitter and sparkle of the sun on the snow. At this time of year, though, enough is enough! To help myself be patient, I indulged recently in a new hairstyle. It is truly amazing to me how powerful feeling good about my appearance can be in fighting off the I-can't-wait-for-winter-to-end blues. And a new (for me, shorter) 'do helps me feel springy, even when the weather isn't co-operating!
32 below and you came outside? You must be make of stern stuff! Stilling loving the cardigan and the haircut suits you.

That's a fab new 'do!
Isn't it funny though... lots of new 'dos usually happen in February and March.

It looks great! Funny, I couldn't take it anymore and had 2 inches cut off my hair and some layers added just the other day.
