Hair Today Gone Tomorrow

Well, after 2-3 years of growing my hair out, I finally gave it the old heave ho today. I have a foot + ponytail to give away to Locks of Love. It's my second time donating hair, and I think I may do it again. But we'll see how gray my hair goes in the next few years. My hair stylist was so nice. When I told him it was being donated, he only charged me for a blow dry. So instead of $80, it was only $50 - everything here is twice as expensive as in the states.... I gave him a fat tip, so in the end I didn't get much of a discount.

I had a baby-free morning to go get my hair done and then do some shopping on Princes Street . I finally purchased some jeans that fit me, and I didn't end up spending too much money. I also tried to find some cute hair things since I now need little clippies and headbands. But I didn't find too much that I liked for the price. I found some really nice headbands in Harvey Nichols.... But I refused to pay £40 ($80) for a resin hairband! Gees, I can't believe people actually have that kind of money to blow on a hairband!
Well, my hair cut is the big event of the weekend here. Monday we're going to go to the museum for a Hogmanay family ceilidh. Hogmanay is what people here call New Year's Eve and the next few drunken days. Check out the wikepedia link to find out all about the holiday. If there's one thing the Scotish can do, it's drink, well and burn things, so I guess there's 2 things we can really do! Oh, and a Ceilidh (pronounced Kaye - Lee) is a big dance party, sort of like square dancing except everyone does it and the men wear kilts! I can't wait until Monday!!!! We should have some good pictures/videos of that.
