"You may tire of me, because my December sun is setting, because I'm not who I used to be." - Death Cab For Cutie

Today was hair washing day, and I always dread hair washing day. It's a process, and I'm just lazy I guess. I have to shampoo and condition it. Then I have to comb it out, blow dry it, and straighten it with a flat iron. Tomorrow when I wake up, I will have a nice natural curl, and I won't have to do a thing to it. Day 3 can go one of two ways. Either it still looks nice enough to wear down or it's limp and greasy and I have to pull it back. Then the cycle repeats itself all over again. This is my hair routine, and it works for me.

So, I was noticing when I was blow drying my hair today that my roots look awful! There are so many gray hairs up there. I have got to get my "hair did" stat! Gray hairs are something my Aunt would refer to as "a sign of the end times." It got me thinking about getting old. Some of those crazy commenters the other day, were using terms to describe me like "old" and "middle aged." Is 33 considered middle age? I guess when I was 20 something I considered 33 old, but now that I am 33, I don't think so. I don't feel old. Gosh, I hope this post isn't offending old people. LOL! There are so many things I haven't experienced yet. I hope I get to experience some of them before my time runs out.

I'm re-mixing things from my closet again today. This is getting fun. I haven't been to a shopping website in 3 days. I think this is progess people! I got this little jacket from American Eagle several months ago. It's been hanging in my closet with the tag still on it, so I decided today was the day to finally wear it. I knew I wanted to layer something flowy underneath, so I chose the Thrush Song Blouse. It has a little bit of the same color green in the pattern. Since my top is flowy, I chose straight leg jeans with booties. I really like how this turned out! Today's photoshoot went much smoother than yesterdays. I was still freezing, but the wind wasn't blowing and my husband kept his mouth shut, so that helped alot.

Well, it's back to the grind tomorrow. I wonder if Anthro will have a sale this week. I really don't need anything on my wishlist to go on sale. I've got 3 more weeks to go before I have money to burn. Today's song is another one by Death Cab For Cutie. When I thought of the word sunset this song came to mind. It's about getting old and becoming a different person than you used to be. When I first saw the title of this song, I thought it was a weird title, but now that I know the context, I love it. It's about two people who were once close that have grown apart over the years, and now they sleep on their own seperate sides, like "brothers on a hotel bed." Like all Death Cab songs, I love the lyrics in this one. This is from the album Plans. Have a good night!
