Daily 5 - Year 2, Day 354

Today's Daily 5:

1. sweet and juicy raspberries from the farmers market - a whole case for eating and making birthday treats with
2. waiting out a bad thunder/hail storm in a used bookstore
3. finding several great books while waiting
4. a quiet day, mostly away from my computer, with lots of reading
5. a great new haircut, complete with my first bangs in a decade, and a purple feather

Bangs and Feathers

Tonight's Daily 5 is coming shortly, but I thought I'd show you my new hair cut.  I hadn't had my hair cut in probably 8 months, and was WAY overdue, and so I booked an appointment at a new salon, using a livingsocial deal I bought a while ago, and hoped for the best.  I have crazy thick hair, that can't decide if it wants to be curly or straight (the only reason it even tries for straight is because of the weight of all of it), and haven't always had great luck with stylists being able to manage it.  I'm really pleased with how the appointment went tonight, I'm loving the way my hair looks at the moment, and I'll definitely be going back to this stylist since she's about $60/visit cheaper than the only other stylist I've found in the city who can successfully manage my hair!

So, I have bangs for the first time in a decade:

And I totally splurged a little (like a $10 splurge) and had her put a purple feather in as well, to match my new purple specs:
