How did I forget?

My goodness, 19th Jan was my one month SL anniversary! How did I forget it? Oh yes, I jumped on a plane to Dublin - perhaps that could be considered my anniversary gift, YES, I think I like the sound of that!
Seriously, time has really flown by and I have enjoyed just about all of it (itchy scalp and curly perm aside). Sometimes I forget what my hair was like before, as do other people. While in Dublin my friend Parks and I were discussing hair when I brought up a haircut I had last year. "Wow" she said "I'd forgotten about that. I feel like your hair has always been like this, it just suits you so much". She obviously didn't notice how much lighter I had travelled - hair product wise - compared to when we had gone surfing in the summer; I am sure that all my equipment had a case of it's own back then.
Washing my hair is less hassle, no worries with the gym, I can dance the night away without sweating out my 'do, it doesn't matter if I can't find my comb (which, incidentally, is still in my handbag!), tongs & straighteners - a thing of the past. Yes, my hair life is a whole lot easier.
I am still learning, from my own hair and from those whose hair and blogs have been an inspiration. I am under no illusion that all on this journey will be rosy; I shall embrace the hitch or two that will challenge me at some point (and if I'm still stuck I'll ask for your help!).
I have no idea what my hair will grow up in to and I think that this is possibly the most exciting part of this process. I am happy to wait and be surprised.
