myself with a ponytail....

AGAIN!~

I got my hair cut just a bit after our wedding a year ago because it was 90 degrees and I had mono. I decided that if I was just going to put it in a ponytail all the time I might as well just get it cut.

Well, today, though my hair is short, I tried the ponytail again.
My hair is not quite long enough but to brave the heat of this summer I think I may need it (and appreciate it A LOT!) This picture reminds me of my mom, when I was in H.S. and college she told me that she always wanted a ponytail like me (the ponytail I used to have) but her hair was never quite long enough and she never had quite enough patience to grow it out.

I think I'm growing mine out now. My stint with short hair is over. For now.

It was a hard run today at Discovery Park, it has quickly turned into a HOT summer in Seattle and I am definitely not acclimated. The park today was stunningly GORGEOUS and I am definitely not sorry I went.

the seats I sit in sometimes

Funny observation but I realized yesterday that in our new place, I have 7, yes 7 seats that I sit in sometimes. They are each comfortable, I could sit in them for an extended period of time. These do not include all the seats in our home, just all of the ones that are not exclusively Josh's.

Seat #1: bed. perfect for napping also with my lavender eye pillow.



Seat #2: office chair. I use this one a lot. This apartment managing requires a lot of time at the desk.

Seat #3: Our 1st couch, original to the first Joshua Jones home in Capitol Hill. Gift from a good friend who lives out East now. Old, but comfy.

Seat #4: Our new couch, super soft and comfy too. We bought this from a Poly Sci PhD student who was doing work in the internet, copyright laws area. He blessed Josh (my engineer working in embedded and large scale power systems) as we left with his furniture, "May you use your powers for good and not cross over to the dark side" hacking,etc.

Seat #5: Came with our new couch. Currently a good reading chair for me.

Seat #6: Original to my first home in Seattle. This one is an Ikea classic. In our old place we could never sit in it because Josh used it as a resting place for his book bag and notes and tupperware lunch containers he "didn't have time to" put in the sink 15 ft away, etc. etc.


Seat #7: And my chair in our dining room, at our dining room table. Notice the healthy oranges we have in the center and our accent wall, still red. I think I am going to leave it for a while. I have better things to worry about right now. I have decided not to worry about it and Josh's black and white Paris picture looks good on it.

At our old place I had 3 seats (which I would sit in sometimes). I LOVE variety. Makes life more interesting.
