It was a freezing New Year here. Blustery winds, almost gale force, on New Year's Eve. I was running around running errands, and it was throwing my car all over the road. And I thought the car wasn't that tiny. I got stuck in a traffic jam because the wind pretty much knocked a power pole over that was hanging over the highway. Yeah that was scary.
I cut off my hair on Wednesday. I had gotten to a point where I had my hair up all the time anyway and it was so long. I decided that it was time for a change. I really liked a slightly modified angular bob, so we went with that. It was a big change, going from bra-length hair to a bob, and I have to admit, when large long clumps of hair started falling past my face, there was a moment of, "What have I done to myself" but everyone loves it. It has a great color, a strawberry blonde, and it feels healthier. I just HAVE to blowdry it now, but that's OK.
I am pretty proud of myself. I started a New Year's Day project, and I am almost finished it. It's nothing big, a Lizzie Kate, "Land that I love," but I realize that I have never finished a New Year's Day start, and that is pretty wretched, so to be almost finished with it, that's great. SO asked if I would frame it, and I told him no, it is going to be a cube. He'll have to cut the foamcore, he's better at that than me.
And I picked out what I am going to do for my stocking. SO has his pretty stocking, I need mine! And, since I got hosed at the state fair last year, it's ON this year. I will win that flippin' stocking class. I chose this one
I think it's really pretty.

That must have been a very tough decision but it sounds like the right one.
I love your stocking. I will cheer you on and hope that you do well at this year's state fari.
I love Donna Vermillion designs. That stocking will be beautiful.
New year, new hair-do. Makes sense to me. But a 70 mile commute makes no sense at all and I'm glad you rejected it.
When are you going to post a picture of the new 'do?
The stocking is really pretty. I'll look forward to updates on it.

Hello Rachel. :) I've been gone a longgg time and I just had to stop by and catch up on your blog. I see you've changed the layout from when I was here last, it is very pretty...nice choice.
I'm glad you like your new hairstyle, I'm sure it suits you--where are the pics? :)
When you get a minute, can you plz e-mail me? humorschild(AT)gmail.com? I'd really appreciate it. For some silly reason I can't find your e-mail..and I had it in there forever.I can chat to you on the 123 board but you know how it is...sometimes things are better said in an e-mail.
Take care and enjoy 2009.

Stay safe on those roads. How scary!
You made me laugh about the "flippin' stocking"...LOL! You've picked a beauty -- surely that'll be the big winner!
I think you did the right thing by declining that job.
Take care!
I have that same stocking for my daughter. It's a lovely one. And you're sure to win at the fair with that one!
Happy New Year, Rachel! So where's a pic of the new do???
Oh, that would be a hard decision but I can definitely see your point. I know I would not like commuting to work every day :o(
That is going to be one gorgeous stocking!!!!
Yay! New hairdos are always fun. I got mine done before DH came home and I really love it :o)
