Pooma is TWO (and a haircut)

Yesterday was our "dog"ter's 2nd Birthday!  Yes, Pooma is Two!  I was never really a dog person (more of a kitty lover), but when my hubby surprised me at work with Pooma, it was love at first sight!  She's brought a lot of love and joy into our lives and she really is like our little daughter.  I'm looking forward to many more years with her.  Happy Birthday Pooma, mommy and daddy love you.

**These pictures were from a while back... and don't worry there is no beer in there.. but she sure did love licking the bottle!

I also got a haircut yesterday.  Eight inches of my beautiful dry and damaged locks are now gone!  My hair feels healthy and so much lighter.  I wanted to try a completely different look from what I've been sporting for the past few years, but I'm not ready.  I will be one day, but now I'm happy with my long-ish locks. :)

{dress - Old Navy, shoes - Jeffrey Campbell, bag - Tahari, belt - F21, "I love Knots" bracelet - Junghwa by Amy Stewart, buy your very own here.}


Random thought:  Several years ago (when I was much TANNER! and teenier)... I was at the beach sitting near the shoreline in my bikini and an older couple comes up to me and the woman tells me, "Those are the blackest knees I've ever seen!".  I laughed.  Everytime I look at my knees now, I'm reminded of that couple.  Some may think they were rude for telling me that, but it was just so random, all I can do is laugh about it. :)

My domesticated goddess duties beckon... ta ta for now. :)

Love, S

Omg your baby doggie, TOO CUTE! Happy B-day! I hope PETA doesn't see this! haha, jk.

Hooray for new hair! I think this haircut looks great on you, like a signature look! :)

If someone told me I have really dark knees, I'd be pretty sad. Only because I know I do, and I hate them! You're a strong girl.

Have a great week Sharon! ♥

Lucia said...

Happy Birthday to the lovely Pooma! She's so cute, has the paw-licking stopped? That striped dress looks very good on you :)

Julia, the Thanksgiving Girl said...

Lol at this random "black knees" encounter! I personally don't think the woman wanted to be rude, she was probably just amused lol

Anyways, I like the cute striped dress! And Happy B'Day to Pooma! Tjose are hilarious pictures with the beer :)

Maeko @ thereafterish. said...

Happy birthday, Pooma-girl! xx. Too cute.

I like that your hair is way healthier and lustrous. Don't you love the feeling a new haircut imbues? I noticed you didn't depart from your usual style, but your hair is definitely shinier and glossy. So hey, whatever floats your boat. If you have a style you like, stick with it. That's a model's secret other than Agnyess Deyn, who, btw, I JUST DON'T GET.

Hey, guess what, I'm hosting a Sephora and brand name surprise beauty item giveaway at my website. I know you love beauty goodies, so why don't you check it out?

KRISTY said...

eehhh, that couple's comment was totally random! hahaha.. but no, you don't black knees :) i love the dress + wedges combo. stripes and brown always look good together :) and yay for the haircut. i love how my hair feels after a haircut too, though it'll only take me 2 weeks to make it dry again from excessive use of straightening iron and blow dryer :p
