Of hair mostly (and a few other things)

nishatalithaI had my hair cut yesterday. It's something I've been looking forward to for a while and it looks really good, it does. It's just... short. Well, when I say short, I mean that the ends of it still go past my bra strap, and the shortest bits still touch my collarbones at the moment, but... it's short! This is the shortest I've had my hair for oh, five or six years or so. For the first time in about four years, I don't have to plait it to sleep in! I think I'm going to grow it out another two inches. I think that will be a good length for now. I've had short hair and I've had long hair, and it's time to have styled hair.
...it's really pretty. There are layers, and the layers are razor-cut so the layers don't bunch up when it goes curly again. She blowdried it, and straightened it for me, and it's all smooth and sleek and lovely at the moment, and I don't recognise myself when I look in the mirror!
Saturday fortnight I'm going to have blond streaks put in.
And all this is done just in time for my sister's wedding. I was not going to go to her wedding without having something done with my hair.
Other than that, this weekend has been fairly lazy and uninteresting. We hung my parents old bedroom curtains up in the lounge, since Mum mailed them down. The new (to us) curtains a sorta a maroony crimson, and are such a contrast to the white ones we had before. I should vaccum my room and do some more housework, and we need to do the dishes (although not as desperately as usual), but I've cleaned the bathroom and am vaguely tempted to go for a walk, but only vaguely.
I'm still really happy about my new book. I so want Legacy, although I'm not sure how much the longing is fueled by the fact that I know it's written and finished or the fact that Bujold is usually much more profound (which I really enjoy) and Beguilement wasn't that profound and I'm still waiting for worse things to happen to them. Someone onlist mentioned that how joy and amusement is expressed is a theme through the book, and I think they're right. There is such a lot of determined happiness in that book that something has got to go wrong somewhere!
But my hair!
