Just a little preview . . . for now

So I am back from Ireland and I just gotta say, it was AMAZING! We basically went on one big road trip across the country.

I have so many awesome pictures to share but haven't gotten all of them back from the girls who went with me. So for now, please be patient. I'll get them up as soon as I can.

Until then, enjoy a preview of the pictures I took (above) and my great hair cut story (below). Yep, that's right, I cut my hair . . . in Ireland!

Let me introduce you to Trevor, also known as the Silver Fox. Seriously!


Trevor was the funniest Irish man ever. He was all about the "art" of cutting hair and went on and on about all the shows he had done. He told me that he weaved girls hair on top of their heads to look like hats and got so excited telling me, that he grabbed portions of my hair to pile on my head so I could get a better idea. (I did get a referral for him and was told he was the best in Galway in case you were wondering)

He really liked to talk and even felt the need to be my counselor at one point. He was interested in what cutting my hair in Ireland meant about me and was convinced that there were big changes going on in my life. When I told him there were not, he assured me that there were and I just didn't realize them yet. It cracked me up how serious he was about it.

We talked about everything from Manchester United to E. I. (emotional intelligence) to religion. Through the course of talking the Silver Fox decided that the most important thing for me to do was to stay in Galway in order to find myself. How cool would that be!

Any way, after 2 hours of talking, counseling, and hair cutting, I walked out looking like . . .

. . . This! I'm still not so sure about the baby bangs, and it's a little Asian for me but the experience was SO worth it. It was quite possibly the funniest 2 hours of my life!

I love it! The bangs are my favorite part. A hairdresser (artist?) is sort of like a good girls bartender - always eager to listen and give advice. At least that is what they should be. It's midnight - I'll call to elaborate tomorrow.
