‘Twas a productive morning! When I have the choice I like to have a leisurely breakfast and a leisurely workout thereafter, but I think I am most productive when I exercise first, eat second. Oh the woes of choices!
I had a meeting this morning about the blog summit – get excited – we’re moving forward full steam from this point. We should be announcing the date and details within the week.
After that, I went to get our wedding rings cleaned. Sparkle City!
And then I got all my hairs cut. Boy was this not the best experience. I think I must have been the woman’s first client out of cosmotology school because she cut my very straight hair in zig zags. (You can’t just cut straight across – there are hidden chunks!) She ended up having to go way shorter than I had wanted to fix the mistakes. I wanted something “short and sleek” for summer but I don’t think I look very good short and sleek 🙁 Longer and layered seems to suit my face better, I think.
So needless to say I’m not that thrilled with my current ‘do:
After that I went by Goodwill to drop off some donations and then came home for a late lunch around 2:30. (Thank goodness for second breakfast!)
I had been envisioning salmon salad stuffed into a pita all early afternoon, so that’s what I made.
The salmon salad served two (I saved half for later):
- 1 can wild Alaskan salmon
- ~1 cup of chopped cuc, carrot and green pepper
- ~1 tbsp Guilden’s mustard (the best EVER!!)
- ~2 tsp curry powder
- ~2 tbsp Dannon plain yogurt (which was BOGO free this week)
My pita ripped open, but it was still great.
The “lid” is always the best part of a pita!!!
Served with a chopped apple + cinnamon.
After lunch I sipped some Lipton Rainforest Alliance tea on the couch and caught up with the Real Housewives 😳

Kath~

I know it takes a while to get used to a hair cut that you aren’t too thrilled with, but in my opinion I think your hair looks GREAT! Something different for summer. And it will always grow out! 🙂
Sophie says
I agree! The haircut looks great. I think it’s very chic! Washing and styling it yourself always makes me feel better about less-that-perfect hair cuts.
JENNA says
personally I like the new hair cut!! Its a bit trendier. your pita looks fab today! 🙂 yum!
Amanda says
The hair looks chic!
Ever tried tuna or salmon salad w hummus?? Soo good!
Run Sarah says
Your rings look beautiful. I love your new haircut – it suits your face and is perfect for summertime!
Katherine says
Aw your hair looks beautiful and so healthy! Your rings look GORGEOUS – isn’t it fun to have them all cleaned up? 🙂
Amanda says
i never like my hair after it’s been cut! i need to get a haircut now actually, but i don’t know what to do with it.
i think your hair looks great! i wish i could pull off that hair as well as you!
Shannon (The Daily Balance) says
I think your hair cut is super chic!!! Perfect for summer 😉
That salmon salad looks amazing! Love the mustard mix-in!
ashley says
i wanted a new style for summer too, but opted to just cut some bangs myself. i don’t recommend this either! lol i don’t look too crazy buy hair on your forehead in the heat of summer is not cool. (literally) My friend said she would trim up the rest for me soon. that salmon mix looks terrific. ahh my grocery list just keeps growing.
Allison K says
Your hair looks fab!!! It suits your face great!
Saima says
i think u look great with the cut!! it somehow makes ur hair real thick!! 😀
Heather says
I actually like the new do, but I can see what you mean about it not being what you asked for. Maybe you’d want to try a few side-swept bangs next time (and a new stylist ;))? HOWEVER, I still think it suits you well! 🙂
YUMMY lunch! What a great salmon salad! Was the salmon canned or fresh?
Hope the rest of your day is productive as well!
Meghan says
I reallly like the short and sleek…and the real housewifes!!hahah
Rachel says
I think the shorter do suits you!
Leah @ Simply Fabulous says
Your hair looks great.
My hubby-to-be’s ring is pretty much identical to Matt’s! I just realized that!
Love your rings!!!

lol..i’m thinking all things WEDDING at the moment 🙂
Nicole says
I love your hair cut! It looks really chic!
Danica says
LOVE the haircut!
K says
Sorry the ‘do isn’t what you wanted – I like it, I think you look great! GORGEOUS rings!!
BethT says
I’m secretly hoping the blog summit will be out west, but I fear it will be an east coast thing…
sara.jane says
Kath, I’ve been reading through your blog the past several days and I love it! You look amazing 🙂
1) Rings are beautiful!! I can’t wait until my boyfriend drops to one knee—when, not sure of course.
2) I really like your hair. Just too short for you? Well, it looks fabulous.
3) That sandwich looks so tasty. I’ll have to try this. What kind of pita bread do you use? I’ve always been afraid to use canned salmon. I love canned tuna so I guess I should put myself out there and taste it.
Elizabeth says
Eeek! Blog summit! How exciting 🙂
Pretty sparkles! Clean rings are the best.
I think your hair looks cute…. did they use a flat iron?
andrea. says
I love the new hair! It reminds me of this: http://blog.nj.com/entertainment_impact_celebrities/2008/06/medium_di5quote.jpg
Emily says
I love the hair! Sleek and chic 🙂
Natalie M. says
Kath don’t fret… I think your haircut looks ferosh! Va Va Va Voom 🙂
KG says
Your hair looks GREAT! I think a shorter cut actually flatters your face very well – trust us, it’s very cute!! 🙂
Ashley C. says
I agree with everyone- your hair looks adorable! I usually hate my haircuts at first when I’m not used to them, but then they grow on me/I get used to them. However, when I lived in NC I got the WORST haircuts in the world– people just don’t seem to know how to cut hair there. But if you hair looks as good in real life as it does in the pic than you have nothing to be worried about– super cute.
Your rings look so beautiful all clean & sparkly!
So excited to hear details about the blog summit!!
Tina says
I think your hair is cute.
I love the Housewives too 🙂
Jenn (www. j3nn.net ) says
Your hair looks great like that!
The salmon pita looks great, too. Yum
Jenn
Elizabeth S. says
I actually think I prefer that cut! And I think you should wear it down more often – looks great!
Laura says
Hi Kath,
I hope you don’t mind my attempting to use you as a source of free nutritional information, but you’re one of the most balanced eaters I “know”, so I thought I’d be cheeky and ask anyway!
In the last couple of years, I’ve completely revamped my diet, cutting out refined flour and sugar, focusing on whole grains, fruits, vegetables and vegetarian sources of protein. Basically, I’ve eaten the way every health site, magazine and professional tells me to eat. 🙂 In the process, I’ve lost almost 50 pounds.
However, I’ve recently been suffering from fairly excruciating abdominal pain that my GP thinks might be Irritable Bowel Syndrome. I’m thus having to have a bit of a rethink about my diet, since, unfortunately, almost all of the foods that I love and that form 95% of my diet are on the list of “insoluble fiber” sources that can exacerbate IBS symptoms. I’ve got into such a mindset that “white flour = evil” that it’s difficult for me to try to get my head around that fact that possibly for some peoples’ bodies and digestive systems, refined (“nutrition-less”) grains could actually be “healthier” than whole grains.
Do you think that it’s a ‘bad’ thing to switch to eating white bread and cutting back on some of the whole grains and fibrous vegetables, as long as you’re still trying to fit in nutrients where you can? Every site I read, it seems, people are advocating whole wheat (as I have been, staunchly) and white bread is so demonised, I’ve been worrying that eating it will cause weight gain regardless of how MUCH I’m eating. Is it true that a “calorie is a calorie”? And that if I start eating white bread and some refined grains, in moderation, it won’t necessarily cause weight gain and health problems, as long as I’m still balancing calorie intake?
Sorry for the huge question! I am going to make an appointment to see a RD here in New Zealand shortly, but any advice or info would be received with huge appreciation.
sue says
aww sorry your hair didn’t turn out how you wanted, i hate that 🙁 but like everyone else, i think it the cut looks great on you!
april says
I like the haircut! It looks very sleek! I’m the opposite when it comes to eating/working out- I do better eating first!
Kate says
I think the haircut is fresh and edgy. I have seen all of your haircuts posted here and I really think this is new, edgy and invigorating! Try it, maybe it will grow on you, doll?
Caitlin says
I think your hair looks nice! Every once in awhile I will get my hair cut at Holiday Hair or something similar and it is always hit or miss!
One of my guilty pleasures is RH as well. Those NJ girls are a riot 🙂
Mara @ What's For Dinner? says
I know this is the last thing I want to hear when I don’t like my haircut…but you really do look great!! I agree about the pita cap… I always have to fight the fiance for them!
Justy2003 says
I think the new cut is cute!
And I’m still waiting to hear about this Blogger Summit. I just hope it’s a weekend that I’m free! Hurry up with the info! 🙂
Angie says
Yummo! Lunch looks delicious!
And, I have to agree- the new cut is very cute!
Kath says
Thanks everyone!! You know I picked the best photo of it to showcase 😉 Other angles aren’t so flattering!
Heather ,
Canned from Costco.
sara.jane,
Thanks! I posted a photo of the pita bread package on Sunday night, I believe.
andrea,
Lol – thanks!
Laura ,
White flour is not evil, it’s just not as good or natural as whole wheat bread. Really the only thing you’d be missing out on by eating refined bread is the fiber, so if you’ve been put on a low-fiber diet, then it seems like an appropriate time to eat refined foods. You are still getting the vitamins since most white bread is fortified. I would check with your doctor though, to see if that’s the only remedy, because you’d hate to have to miss out on WW products forever. And there may be something synergistic about eating foods in their unrefined state that we have yet to discover. Don’t worry about gaining weight – just be sure to eat it in moderation per usual and try to make an effort to have refined grains with fat and protein to balance the absorption of the CHO into your bloodstream.

Kelly says
Love your ‘do!!!
kristieinseattle says
I think your haircut looks great! Honestly, I wouldn’t have commented if I didn’t think so
Biz319 says
I love your hair cut! I am getting mine cut tomorrow, and I am a bit nervous too. I am thinking of going REALLY short!
Help Meghan Run says
It’s also really good to put diced apple *in* your salmon salad. 🙂 It’s an essential ingredient in my recipe.

Erica says
Love those Housewives! I just can’t get enough of the New York cast. It is totally a guilty pleasure.
PS I like the hair. I think you should try shorter.
Jo says
I think your hair looks great, but its awful when you get a hair cut you don’t like! I’m going to get mine done this morning, fingers crossed its ok!!
Bev says
Personally speaking. I really don’t see much difference in you hair. Maybe a little shorter. Your style in nice on you but it not a short hair cut.
Joanie Simon says
I love the Real Housewives! I’m reading Bethenny’s book right now.
Lisa says
Well, by now, I guess you get the point that everyone loves your hair. Before I scrolled down, I was expecting something terrible, and then when I saw it, I was like, “That’s my favorite Kath cut so far.” I think you should go even edgier on the ends (but by a good, trusted stylist). Looks chic and modern–love it!
Oh She Glows says
Sorry about your haircut- that happens to me all the time with long hair! I actually think your hair looks nice though 🙂
MelanieF says
I think your hair cut looks great. 🙂
Sarah says
Your hair looks great and very healthy. I think an angled bob would look pretty cool too.
Missy says
I think your hair looks fabulous! I love the shorter cut on you =) Just thought you might want to know!
Ashley says
Mmm mustard, curry and yogurt sounds like a perfect dressing!
Caronae says
I think the haircut looks good on you! I also always have the exercise/eat first dilemma…
Cookienurse says
I really like the haircut!
