But before I post photos and discuss my first trip to the absolutely fantastical place known as northern California (and no, that isn’t the amount of Sonoma wine I consumed talking – I totally loved it), I have something far more trivial to announce. I got my hair cut! Finally.

I got new hair (and tried to take a photo of it myself)

I asked for “flicky” and showed Stephanie several photographs that weren’t exactly what I was looking for to try to explain what that meant. And she still managed to do this. Stephanie rocks. Maybe one of these days I’ll get somebody else to take a photo so you can see it better, but as I despise getting photographed, don’t hold your breath. But I had to show the hair.
