Welcome to my little place to vent…

Today while my parents and Kris were in Delaware moving Laura’s stuff back to New Jersey, I finally got to see all my old co-workers at the library! I mostly just talked to Lynn, since I hadn’t seen her in so long, and she looks awesome for just having twins! It was so good to see everyone, and also to meet some of the new people. I found out that two of my reference librarians were retiring - once that happens there will barely be anyone else left I actually worked with! I left telling them that I had my hair appointment at 4pm, and would stop in if I could after it was done.

Well, the U-Haul pulled into the driveway about 45 minutes before I had to leave, so I pitched in with moving everything into either the living room or the garage. I was really happy when I was leaving and Kris asked how short I was cutting my hair. He’s the only person who was supporting me going short - everyone else told me to leave it long for the wedding. I didn’t want to do that for a couple of reasons. The first was that I didn’t really like the long hair, and I was growing to make sure it would be long enough to style for wedding, and also so I could cut it and donate it to Locks of Love. The second was that I didn’t want it long for our honeymoon in Tahiti - since we’ll be on the beach and swimming a lot, it would just be a pain to do anything with. As anyone with long hair should know - it sucks in the summer. I really don’t want to have to deal with it on our should-be-relaxing-honeymoon!

My long-time stylist Pauline did a great job with my hair! First, I am so glad she cut off as much as she did. I think it looks so cute with the “bob” cut I know have. I also really liked the style we finally got, even though it wasn’t what I had in mind at first, and it does have the “typical wedding hairstyle curls.” I am happy it’s out of my face and up - I know it’s going to be really hot and humid in August! Pauline even put in the tiara and the veil, so I got to see what the “final look” would be, and we took lots of pictures to help re-create the same thing in August.

The best part of the evening was that my mom was cool with me wearing the whole thing when we went out to play Bunco. That was great too, I ALWAYS enjoy playing if I can when I’m in town. I got to see a few friends of my mom that I haven’t seen in a while, even though they all yelled at my to take off my veil, and then again when I shoved it in my purse. Little did they know that’s where it had spent most of the day, and beforehand it was shoved in another bag for our trip. It’s pretty resiliant, and wasn’t mussed at all when I took it out and put it in with my dress. As far as Bunco, my grandma won second place, and although I was tied for third, I didn’t end up winning. I still had fun though!
