Back in the Big D

Matt and I got in around 11:00 last night.  We ended up avoiding I-35 in Austin by taking the loop.  It will cost me when I get the bill, but it was worth it for a clear highway.  The hotel is really nice – the rooms are all suites.  The decor is a little dated, but everything is well maintained.  The bed is comfortable so it is all good.  I went shopping today, but it was kind of depressing.  I think I’m going to have to make a concerted effort at losing weight soon.  At least the community pool is open again though it might still be a little cold for swimming just yet.  I tried to find some clothes for Matt since he needs a wardrobe update and I wanted to get him something else for his birthday.  I’ve got a few other ideas and will try another mall tomorrow. 

I’ve decided to get my hair cut.  I am going to grow it out, but it is getting to an unmanageable stage at this point.  I think I’m going to get the back cut and go with a bob or something while the sides grow out.  I need something that is easy to style and manage while it continues to grow.  It’s been a while since I’ve had somewhat long hair so I’m going to give it a shot again.  My hair grows relatively fast so we’ll see how long it takes before I can’t stand it again.
