Told you I’d have photos if the haircut turned out. Sorry they’re a day late… I was shy because I’m breaking out like a 14 year old but figured the grown up thing to do would just be to rock it.
I had a lot of fun chopping my own hair of with a hairdresser’s razor. Just pull some hair out to the desired length, and whack!
Today I stumbled upon this while checking out my blog subscriptions on Google Reader (which I love, by the way, and this is a total plug to start using it and make sure to subscribe to MFS on it).
Click on the image above to get to the flickr stream for snailtrail.co.uk. They have way more cool stuff!
Usually when I scroll through my feeds, especially if it’s from tumblr or apartment therapy, there are just so many photos I glance at each one and appreciate the room/nook/space featured in each… but this one just grabbed me and I stared at it for a while.
How incredible would it be to have something like this installed in the backyard?
What I have pictured is a small bungalow home with a fairly decent sized backyard. The back door opens onto a brick patio, at one end a camper like this is parked. The other part of the yard is a small grass area. Especially if the house is small, this could essentially function as another room in good weather. I can picture myself reading, snacking, and inevitably napping in there with the door and windows open.
Sadly, nothing cool is coming up today on ebay in this area. A girl will have to keep dreaming….
We have a new family member. It doesn’t eat or breathe though so don’t get too excited (although we’re dying to get a small dog). I guess I should backtrack and explain a little.
Well, it’s tax season. I had great fun doing our taxes (don’t look at me weird like that) and got them done about a week ago. Also, a photography studio downtown was having a going-out-of-business sale (don’t feel too bad for him–he was retiring actually). Anyway I wandered by the closeout sale and saw an opportunity we couldn’t refuse. A one-year-old used iMac. Before you get too outraged at our spontaneous purchase, let me say that Doug’s laptop hasn’t worked properly since 2005 and the cost of this beaut wasn’t even half of our tax return. Pretty good situation actually.
I’m still trying to get the hang of the operating system… I’ve been a PC person for 10+ years, and it’s weird to make the switch. Hopefully this investment will kick my blog into high gear; we’ve also got photoshop on here and I’m going to try to get more into graphic design (I might even go take some classes at a community college or something).
I promise someday I’ll stop doing “show and tell” posts and actually conquer some real projects that I can show you how I did step by step!
