So here it is again, the month of my birth. I've always loved that my birthday comes in August, when there isn't really any other holiday around, and yet, it sort of feels like the beginning of a new year. It is usually the start of a new school year, though this is my first year I won't be taking any classes in 6 years.
I've always understood why the Jewish New Year is in September much more than the calendar year of January. Who wants to start something new when everything is dead, the air is cold, and the humdrum after the holidays begins to set in?
I finally got my hair cut and colored today. I haven't had my hair professionally colored in sooo long. And the last time I paid more than $12 for a haircut; well let's just say that it's been a long time too. I don't know why it is always a trauma for me to get my haircut, even when I know I desperately need it. Maybe it has something to do with being a Leo, the mane is a precious thing. Or maybe my anti-Leo tendencies get the best of me and I don't want someone to have to spend a lot of extra time and focus on me. If you knew my hair, you'd know why I feel bad for the stylists. It is thick thick thick and has a mind of it's own. The hairdresser today said it reminded her of the cartoon character in Monsters Inc. with snakes as her hair. Everytime she tried to get it to do something it didn't want to do, it let her know. Sounds silly, but believe me, my hair has a mind of it's own. 
But after 3 hours at the salon, my head feels 10 pounds lighter and looks 100 times better. What is it about a good hair day that makes you feel so good? I was looking forward to going out tonight for my birthday before, but now I feel a little bit sassier, there is a spring in my step and I'm ready to kiss my twenties goodbye!
