Locks of Love

I chopped about 14 inches off my hair on Thursday. I was inspired by my 7-year-old neice's decision to donate her hair to Locks of Love, and decided to join her.

My neck is cold, but I feel about 200 pounds lighter. :-)

Carpooling

Wow how time flies when you're having - er - fun.

So my younger sister moved in to my house just before Christmas, and before she started work on Jan 2, she had herself in a carpool. Loves it. Most convenient. (It's via the Jack Bell Foundation at ride-share.com, you should check it out if you need a carpool in the Lower Mainland area.)

I, on the other hand, am not in a carpool yet. Partly it's cuz I don't work downtown and I don't work in the office 5 days/week. So it's not such a no-brainer for me. But also, I need to run around and get things when I'm in the city. Selection of the home decorating/hardware type is not as great outside the big boxes* and wouldn't you know it, I have a number of things to do in that area these days. Long story short, I've registered at ride-share.com for a casual carpool, to see if a more flexible, less frequent kind of carpooling can work out. We'll see.

*Even in the big boxes it's questionable. Every ceiling fan/light that was near passable at home depot was out of stock. *sigh* Oh, and the faucets! Who knew there were so many butt-ugly faucets in the world! I may have to become a true internet shopper.
