January 13, 2016 {awkward selfie}


Chopped a bunch of my hair off today.

Downright embarrassing how many tries it took to get this photo. But as is the way with new haircuts, it will never look this good again, so it must be documented.

Now you’re thinking, wait, that’s good? Maybe I should have used the “still in the salon at the front paying” picture instead.

I mean, the second has the benefit of the curls still being there, but my roots are a touch more obvious. Oh, and also you don’t get that “reflection of your hand holding your phone in the lenses” issue with sunglasses. But the lighting is nicer in the top one.

Well, whatever. There you go. Two for the price of one today.

I brought my real camera with me yesterday on Ziggy’s walk (and I mostly just ended up taking the same old pics, just better quality.) There are a zillion houses in our neighborhood with cute details like this, but I kind of love the colors on this one.

Why is my neighborhood so great? Read all about it.

I really intended to have a better photo for Saturday, which was my 41st birthday. It was a fantastic day. I went to the gym in the morning, then lunch with a giant margarita at lunch, followed by a brow waxing. To cap it off, I met up with my friend Kettie for a drink (she was in town from Dallas) along with another friend, and then Ren magically showed up as well! And finally, as if that wasn’t enough, my neighborhood girlfriends all gathered at our friend Jen’s house for nibbles and adult beverages around the fire pit. Can’t beat it, really.

Sadly, I woke up feeling quite ill on Sunday. No, it was not because I overindulged on my birthday, I don’t think. I actually had a fever and all. But I managed to not barf while taking Ziggy for a walk.

Still feeling a bit under the weather. But managed to walk Ziggy again. The river is so high right now! I never tire of this view of downtown and the French Quarter, especially when the sky is so blue.

We brought Ziggy along on the ride to school this morning, and Millie and Ann Frances and Hank were really excited to see him.

Oliver had mentioned he was having trouble seeing far away, so I took him to the eye doctor.

20/20 vision, the doc says. I guess he just wants X-ray vision. Who can blame him?

Linus was acting insane after school today, so I took him for a walk. I let Ziggy come too.

Ziggy and I went to a wildlife preserve and watched the ducks.

Nah, I’m just joking. The river is really high right now and the water isn’t usually on this side of those trees.

A change of scenery this month. Spied this nice wall on the side of a house (which gossip says was purchased by Linda Hamilton, but who knows if that is true) while out walking Ziggy.

If you think it’s hard to get three boys to cooperate, imagine adding a dog in the mix.

Expect a Ziggy-heavy 366 project this time around. He’s a much more willing subject, even though I don’t think he likes it when I have my camera up to my face.

Yeah, I’m trying it again. A photo a day for 366 days. This one was taken at 12:14 am, watching the fireworks in our robes on the street in front of our house. (Yet another reason I love our neighborhood.)
