Changes

Nothing too big. Just decided to change my moniker. Small town girl was fairly simplistic, and I had originally decided to title my blog as that because I really am not all that creative. But, I wanted something different, so I turned to where I always turn for answers: music. As you know (because I've beaten you all into submission with it), I love Led Zeppelin, so I decided to go that way. I debated calling this blog Tangerine Tales (decided that was definitely not me), Black Dog, or What Is And What Should Never Be (still kind of partial to this one). But, in the end, I settled on Over the Hills and Far Away. I like it because, not only is it one of my favorite songs, but also because it can describe a place, a state of mind, or any of the other generalities of my life. So there you have it, what is old becomes new again...to me anyway. I am still a small town girl, can't escape that fact. But, I'm now over the hills and far away. Unless the Led Zeppelin legal team decides otherwise and issues me a cease and desist order. That wouldn't be the coolest.

Although maybe it could be my ticket to meeting them...yeah, I seriously doubt it too. I'll have to keep scheming to make that particular dream come true.

Almost Cut My Hair

No, that's not true. I totally cut my hair yesterday. It had been pretty much halfway (if not more) down my back, but it was starting to look kinda ragged and icky. So, I decided to bite the bullet and get a trim. While in the salon, I decided that I wanted to be a little more daring, so I told the stylist to cut it to about chin length. She did, and I have to say I really like it. The only problems I foresee are styling it (I am terrible at doing my hair) and keeping myself from running my fingers through it (a nervous habit). But, I'll get used to it. And, I got to donate the hair she did cut to Locks of Love, so that made me feel really good about the whole experiment. I would post a picture, but I'm not crazy about how I look when I take self-portraits, so I'll have to think about it. But, I wouldn't count on it. :)
