Going Short. Very Short.

I love short hair. It's just so much easier for me, and we all know I love easier. I love the look of long hair, but can't stand the upkeep. At this point in my life I'm just too lazy to want to do it all. I like to get up and go with very little effort. Jade took pity on me today and gave a new look. My hair grows really fast and has gotten way out of control. I'm terrible at getting it cut and colored in a timely fashion. I just keep putting it off until I feel and look like a shaggy dog. No one to blame but myself. She says we aren't finished yet, so I will wait to post my new image. All I know is, I'm already cooler and have less hair in my face. Yay.

A big Thanks to Tracy and Jade for coming to help me can the last four boxes of tomatoes today. After the marathon applesauce day monday I had to take tuesday off. My back was in complete rebellion, so gave in and didn't push it yesterday. Today we got all the tomatoes done for a count of 28 quarts. I had one that didn't seal, (I hate it when that happens), so I decided to make tomato bisque out of it. I got a recipe online and used that for a base. I sort of improvised a bit and told the gang at dinner to critique. Not too bad for a first try, so will work on it a little and refine. I love tomato bisque, so hopefully can get it right. We had grilled cheese sandwiches with it and no one went away from dinner hungry. After a little break at the dunes this weekend, we'll be doing more applesauce next week. A couple more projects after that and the canning goes on hold until after the holidays. I've so enjoyed the company of Tracy and my girls during all this preserving. That has been a most pleasant benefit to all the work involved.

Now off to bed before I can't get up in the morning. Oh, it's already morning. I better sleep fast.
