5 things I realised this weekend.

1. Short hair rocks.

Thank you so much for all your support on the hair thing. You are all lovely... and so is my new hair! I mean,  it's a BIG change and it will take a bit of getting used to (style it the wrong way and I look about as edgy as a mushroom), but overall I kind of love it. 

I'll post a picture soon, I promise. Once I take one that doesn't make me look like a total moron. (Turns out a cool new haircut is not enough to counteract my stupid photo face. Sigh.)

2. Meeting new people can actually be fun!

The cool new haircut was enough to inspire me to throw on the Lady Dragons and take them on their first spin, when the Hubster and I met up with the fabulous Lauren McGlynn on Saturday. You might recall her as one of my original Lens Ladies (not, sadly, "Len's Ladies", although whoever Len is he is one lucky guy). She and her husband are the sweetest people ever and we had a great time discussing weddings, the US healthcare system, and who is the one person in history that Fin would go back in time to assassinate (George Lucas circa 1990, if you're interested). 

None of my worst fears (awkward silences, being looked at like a weirdo, invitation to a swingers' party) were realised. So, yay for meeting internet friends! I highly recommend it.

3. Me and Fin are MFEO.

Back to the shoes. (With me, it always comes back to the shoes.) When we eventually got home and I kicked the Lady Dragons off my poor blistered feet (does anybody know if plastic wears in?) they landed next to Fin's trainers. That's when I noticed it: we have matching shoes! Well, fine, his don't have big peach hearts on them, but they're exactly the same colour and they're both equally awesome, so I think it's close enough. We are so clearly made for each other. Because, of course, shoes are the best indicator of relationship compatibility. Duh.

4. I need to get a decent camera. And then learn how to use it.

Have you seen the state of these pictures? Nuff said.

5. I really need to hoover.

See above.

Speaking of shoes, and George Lucas, a new men's clothes shop just opened in Edinburgh and Fin came home raving about these hideous things. Hmm. Maybe we're not so compatible after all.

And speaking of... well, nothing really, but I had to mention it - did you know there was an Anthropologie opening in Edinburgh??? Hello beautiful overpriced American goodies. Goodbye bank balance.
