A few weeks ago I cut off 12 inches of hair. Yikes! I should have remembered to take a before and after picture... but all I got was one of the pony tail itself. While I like the ease of shorter hair- I'm not used to being unable to pull it up in a pony tail. But- I know it'll grow back, and the order to the universe will again be restored.
In other news...Byron had the weekend off! Yes- you read that correctly! The WHOLE weekend. So...we decided to celebrate with a ranch weekend with friends. Johnny and Genevieve came up on Friday night, followed by Gentry and Robert on Saturday. We slept in late, cooked big meals, and grilled out. The boys each brought their arsenal of weapons and we spent a good few hours in the cold trying each on out. It was fun. Each girl hit at least one target! Horray! We also took a "walk" through the fields in search of arrowheads. Well- Byron was the only one really looking. Genevieve and I were busy trying to pry ourselves out of the mud while Johnny was focused on playing fetch with Tucker and trying to keep him away from the cows.
It was a much needed getaway for both of us. PLUS I had the day off today which really came in handy. I cleaned, cooked a little, organized, payed bills, put up curtains etc.....all those things I've been meaning to do- but haven't gotten around to. I feel so much better!
