New Project

You guys, I watched so much bad television this weekend. I watched America’s Next Top Model, Jersey Shore, What Not to Wear, Project Runway (this one isn’t bad TV, it’s actually THE BEST) and Say Yes to the Dress.

I feel like my skull rotted in my head a little bit.

But I did learn that if one has but five minutes for ones makeup, black mascara is the top priority. I always go powder and lipstick, no mascara because I’m like a chimp when it comes to putting on makeup, but whatever. I’ll add mascara to my powder, lipstick five minute makeup thing. OKAY STACEY AND CLINTON?!!?!?!

I worked on my sweater.

I might actually finish this one. It’s a very fast knit and I’m going to treat the sleeves like socks. I’m going to bring them with me when I need a mobile knitting project. The sweater looks huge, but I’ve compared it to my hoodie several times, checked the gauge and the size and I’m smaller than gauge so it should be fine.

It still loooks huge, though.

If it is too big for me, I’ll just frog it. I’ve been all about frogging projects. It’s so cathartic. I have a sweater I knit and hate and I’m thinking of frogging that one too.

And, I have a new project, people. A while back, Kiala and I went to karaoke and she suggested I grow my hair out. I’ve never had long hair. I mean I did when I was ten and then I cut it all off when I was 13 and I’ve had hair above my shoulders ever since.

As you know, Kiala’s hair is her power. She lets it down and the space-time continuum bends. Seriously. If you’ve never seen this, then I’m sorry for you.

She suggested to celebrate my new life I try new hair. I have very, very thick hair. Very thick. And I need styles to prevent it from looking like a mushroom. And Fancyhats like to see my neck and ears. But I why not try long hair before I’m 40? I’m 34 now.

Frankly, the only reason I want the long hair is so I can wear braided pigtails.

I’m going to keep my bangs short because that’s my signature. And after that, I’m going to grow my hair long. I’ll need to have it layered and styled and take better care of it than I do now, but whatever.

Also, who knows if I can actually do this. I might just go mental and chop it off again.

Here’s where I’m starting from.

Wish me luck.
