My Summer Resolution

No blow-drying.

Join me.

I dare you.

(Speaking of daring, have you ever tried taking a picture of the back of your own head? Not an easy task, I tell you. Probably the most exercise I've had all week month, actually.)

Also on my list of warm-weather resolves:

• Eat dinner outside more often.
• Take walks. (Anywhere. Everywhere. Nowhere.)
• Go camping.
• Read.
• Gestate.

You?
