Reality Check

Yesterday, Tim, Sarah, Mom and I went to the home show here in Saratoga. We walked around and checked out lots of vendors selling everything from shrubs to hot tubs, siding and gutters to solar panels. It was pretty cool, we got lots of ideas and Tim found new companies he can sub to.

Is this exciting...not really. But, what do you usually get at a home show...that's right, free rulers.

Bet you are excited now!

The point is, with a free ruler in one hand (fluorescent pink even) and a glass of wine in the other, it is always a good time to measure your sister's hair and see how much she will have left for her new hairdu after donating 12 inches...

Um, not much. In fact, not even really 1/2 an inch with which to create a new du. My new haircut seems that right now it would look a bit more like this:

Although there currently seem to be some celebrities that think this is totally the look for them right now, I just don't think I have the jaw line to pull this one off.

So, I guess it is all about ponytails and hair clips a bit longer than April.

A new fall du is always an option.

Latest and Greatest

So, faithful readers, you have now all come to realize that once every few weeks is about all you can expect. I promise to work on that.

That being said...Tim and I have both been out of our minds, ridiculously busy.

This pharma rep business has been crazy.

Good crazy. I have been enjoying my new challenges tremendously. I meet lots of great people everyday and feel good that I am helping doctors help patients.

My manager was riding with me and visiting offices with me the past two days. I learned a lot from him. AND, got a speeding ticket! Which, looks like I might get off of AND, I totally blamed on him which he agreed. So, hope that I get off because even though it was his fault, the points still won't go on his license!

To more fun topics...

For those of you who haven't seen us in a bit and those who don't know...my hair...

Well, it is long. It is actually a bit ridiculous if you ask me.

Several months back I realized that it was getting long. So, instead of cutting it, I decided to keep going. Why? You ask? Is it because Kathleen thinks the "Crazy Bushwoman Style" is back in. Oh No. I may be fashion handicapped, but that isn't it.

Once I realized how long it was, I decided to keep going.

So, in April, I will be sporting a new short spring du and will be sending my locks to Wigs for Kids. I set an appointment today back at the salon that I used to go to in New York. I will be cutting 12 inches off and sending it to an organization that makes wigs for kids; kids with cancer and other diseases that prohibit hair growth.

Locks for Love has received a lot of attention lately. However, when I checked them out I found out that they charge the children who receive their wigs based on a sliding scale of what their parents make. Wigs for Kids gives the wigs for free. The other thing I thought of is that for people with straight hair, theirs tends to grow a lot faster. So, they probably don't get that much curly hair.

So, here is where I stand now...it doesn't look that long, but remember, when you pull it straight, it is a world of difference...

A few months ago, I went with Sarah when she had her hair cut and while we were waiting, I found this photo in a magazine...

Although I am really not quite that pouty, I think the style might work for me...here is what I am thinking...

Krista and my new friend from training, Susan, are going to go with me to New York to have it done. Susan is from Ireland. I could listen to that girl read the ingredients on a cereal box her accent is so lovely! So, I will let you know what happens and post the photos.

In the meantime, Happy Birthday to our friend Adam who turned 30 yesterday...welcome to this side of the pond brother!
