I Just Keep Telling Myself It’s Only Hair… But…

Sooooo, I tried to make an appointment with my stylist to have my hair shaped and high/low lighted the other day, only to find out she’s left the salon. I was set up with another stylist for Friday.

BlogU: I Had a Weekend

I went to Baltimore. I went to BlogU. I had never been to Baltimore or a blogging conference before. I had no idea what to expect. I was terrified.  Before I got on the plane, before I bought the tickets and reserved the room, before I told Jill that maybe we needed to go to a blogging conference, I spent a lot of time trying to talk myself out of going.
