Bad at this...

Ok, so we all know by now - I'm bad at this...

I'm bad at keeping up with blogging, and I'm bad with reading other people's blogs that I really like to catch up on...

I have excuses - lots of them; I hadn't been around for so long, I wanted to reformat the blog and have had a 'reason' to have been away, and one to be back with a whole brand new look...
I have had some up's and down's - as in up's and really downs - and I feel like no one wants to know or read about things that I would write while I'm feeling crappy...
Or I felt like I had nothing interesting to say - nothing going on in my head that anyone would want to read...

Anyway, I'm here now - back - for the moment anyway...  Nothing interesting to say for right now, I will share some of my crafty stuff soon...  And some photos - I have a new 'do' that I got tonight, so will take a photo that's not an end of day worn out looking one - soon, maybe tomorrow morning...

So, that's all for now - I'm back, I'll write some short ramblings, I'll share some stuff - and the new look for the blog, I'll sort it - sometime soon-ish, I hope - when I can work out more about what I need to do, or at least be motivated enough to spend some time - perhaps hours on the computer in a setting outside of work to see how to do what I want...

Thanks, if you're still here - or back with me, along for the ride - I promise I'll try to be better...

Being very brave

Well, today I'm about to be brave again and entrust my hair to someone I don't know and don't share a first language with...

I did it at New Year's - found a hairdresser in Cusco, Peru and entrusted my hair to her with my very basic Spanish...  Now, I have to do it again but in in Stockholm, Sweden - without a word (well, other than your basic hi, bye, thank you type words) of the language!  I think that's brave...

I have this horrible lanky blonde mop at the moment - courtesy of months of travelling in the last year, where it's always just easier to stick it up (and not being near my trusty hairdresser!) and the fact that my SO likes long hair.  I keep trying to get the message across that my hair is never going to be this beautiful long thick mane that he admires on other women - my hair is fine, and mostly straight and really needs work to get it to look decent (of course after all this time of neglect, even a lot of work has stopped making it look decent!).

And so, with (for a change) a very firm idea (and multiple photos) of what I'd like my hair to resemble when I leave the place, and my big girl panties on - I'm off, to brave the hairdresser and hope like heck I get something decent - preferably resembling in some way the idea I have in mind!  Wish me luck!
