New haircut!

I love it! And can't stop fiddling with it.

Guest post!

I've submitted a post for the Glamorous Grad Student's City Chic series, and it's up! I'm always happy to show off the beautiful city in which I live - I really love it here.

P.S. This is a photo I took of the Christchurch Art Gallery.
P.P.S. Off to get my hair cut this morning - wish me luck! Hope it isn't a huge disaster, or I might be appearing with a bag over my head from now on.

Skirtzilla

I found this gorgeous green crinoline in an op-shop on Friday for $15 ... one of my favourite finds yet! It was actually one of those magical thrifting days that unearthed many treasures ... they'll all make appearances soon. LOML calls it Skirtzilla and pretends to be attacked by it.

Now that the book is finished and sent off, the usual post-book blues have set in. I'm looking forward to continuing work on New Book while I wait, but I've also become painfully aware of things that went to the back of my mind during the final weeks of rewrites. Things like my healthy eating and exercise regimen, which suffered somewhat in the final stages of the book. Housework. Money. They all took a back seat to the book, and now they're jumping up and down in the front seat saying "Are we there yet? Are we there yet?" I suppose now is a good time to concentrate on all those neglected things. I feel a bit yukky at the moment, because I haven't been eating well and my hair is driving me completely mental, so those will be the first things to tackle.
