Hair Makeover. Please.

06.29.2009 by Susan Getgood //

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?

Baby Cardinal

06.29.2009 by Susan Getgood //

I’m fairly certain momma and poppa cardinal, who live in our yard year round, had at least two babies, and brought them both to the bird feeder today.

I think we have a female baby top right.

And earlier this afternoon I think I snapped the male baby.

More pictures from the series on Flickr. Momma cardinal is particularly suspicious of the squirrel.

Birds and the bees. Well flowers.

06.29.2009 by Susan Getgood //

I love photographing the birds who visit our backyard, and once the flowers bloom, I start messing around with different ways of looking at the garden. This week, I was also experimenting with the new lens I got (bought) for my birthday.

Here’s a selection of recent pics.

The turkey, who we nicknamed Drumstick, hasn’t been around for a couple weeks. I hope he found his flock rather than an untimely end.
