It's difficult to take good photos of yourself when you've got short arms.  This is about my 10th attempt and I deem it good enough to show off the new (thank you, Blessed God!) short haircut I got today.

It was actually quite the lovely experience.  The hairdresser (Nazzy) normally does Dan's hair and I don't know why I didn't figure out before now that she's great with short women's hair as well.  Her assistant welcomed me, got me a glass of water and then gave me the most marvellous shampoo including a neck rub.

The neck rub made me slightly nervous because she had strong hands and I didn't want her to accidentally dig into my port implant, but she missed it so all was well.

Then Nazzy chatted and snipped, snipped and chatted and I left the salon feeling a LOT more like my usual self.  (Although apparently, upon reviewing this photo, she added some girth to my nose whilst taking off hair...not sure how that happened!)

Prior to the haircut, we had a great visit with our friends, Ken and Lynne Secrest.  We talked about everything under the sun, getting caught up on each other's lives...and it was nice to not be talking cancer, cancer, cancer.  They are dear friends and a joy to be around.

After the haircut?  Dan and I wandered the mall, enjoyed a late lunch at PF Changs, picked up some baskets to house our ever growing collection of DVD's and then came back home.  Where I promptly napped for 45 minutes.  Fortunately, there is enough left over from the dinner I cooked last night to feed us this evening.  So we're in for the night.  As the last whisper of Laguna sunset spills into the evening sky, I'm quite content with a day of life, friends, caresses and beauty.

And a big nose.
