Here’s a new, fun, productive thing to participate in: The Ponytail Challenge. I saw a posting about it on someone else’s blog and was a little skeptical at first.

I’m going to get a haircut today, courtesy a birthday present from my mother-in-law and sister-in-law (Kim). I really need one. I haven’t even had a trim in over a year now. I’ve spent months with my hair pulled back in a ponytail and now that I’m wearing glasses I generally feel rather un-presentable. The [...]
