Quick update

For those of you interested in the Africa pictures, I’ve posted a few more days to Flickr but have been woefully pathetic about getting the posts about the trip up on the Roadtrip blog. Hopefully I’ll be able to catch up this weekend.

In other news, I just started writing about digital parenting for BlogHer’s Family Connections project. I’ll be posting there once per week for the next six months or so.

I’ll also be contributing regularly to the blog of B2B marcom and PR firm, Attain Marketing, and …. ta-duh … writing my first book. More on those endeavors next week.

So if updates over here get a bit sporadic, please bear with me, and check out one of the other places.

Africa photos

I took a lot of pictures in Africa. at least 100 per day. It’s going to take a while to edit and post them.

But here’s a start – the first two days are up on Flickr. They cover the Apartheid Museum, the Zambezi Sun hotel in Livingstone Zambia and our first look at Victoria Falls, which was within walking distance of the hotel.

Hair Makeover. Please.

Danielle at foodmomiac,  Susan at Friday Playdate and Heather at No Pasa Nada are offering a hair makeover at Sparrow Hair during BlogHer in Chicago.

I need this makeover. I need some help! I need a plan.

While I love my local hairdresser, I think she’s afraid to do “too much” to my hair. Right now, I am trying to grow it out in preparation for a 10-day trip to southern Africa in September. I figure it will be easier to deal with longer so I can put it up, in either a clip or braids, rather than something short or mid length that requires attention. But: I am open to alternatives. I just need a plan!

Color. What color is my hair? Who knows anymore. In the last 10 years I’ve been brunette, auburn and blond. I think it’s probably brownish with a fair amount of gray and a serious “Bonnie Raitt” white stripe in the front that I’ve had since my 20s. Hence why I have NO idea what color my hair actually is.

Other things you need to know about me and hair.

  • I am good with long and short. In between, that needs to be fussed with. Not my thing.
  • Blow dryer? I might use one during the winter if I am actually going to be outside with wet hair for any length of time. Otherwise, you can write your name on the dust on this appliance.
  • When my hair is short, it is bone straight. It only gets a little wave to it as it gets longer.

Can you help this almost 47-year old with a no fuss hair style that travels well?
