Well, folks, here it is!

Short, short, short.  It hasn’t been this short since I was a bald 2 year old.  Trisha cut enough off to donate to locks of love, which I was excited about.  Josh hardly recognized me, and the kids were surprised when they got up this morning.  My favorite was Doodle’s first reaction.

“Mommy!  You look pretty!”
I tell you what, I could make a lot of money cloning that kid.

This morning it looks a bit more like a mushroom.  Hm.  I’ll have to play with it some more.  Maybe blow-drying isn’t such a great idea if I don’t have time to get the straightener out.  Really, I don’t have a clue, but it’s fun nonetheless!

I’m not sure if words can describe how overdue I was for a hair cut.  Good thing I have a picture to explain for me, huh?

Help!
Help!

It got so bad my kids tried to help.  While it might have been considered an improvement, their version of a new look for mommy wasn’t quite what I was hoping for.  The world just isn’t quite ready for that level of coolness.

And so it was that Thursday night for me at the doorstep of Trisha Simon.  In my old age I have learned a few things, and one of those all-important, life-changing lessons is

HAIR GROWS.

So I meekly, awkwardly asked Trisha to give me whatever cut she thought would look best.  (Come to find out, that’s not uncommon for people to ask.)  I’ve been watching her handywork at church and I’ve been impressed.  She does a great job and I knew I could trust her.  I wanted something new, something different, something cute, and preferably something that would look okay with very little effort.  FOUR, you know.

And hip hip hooray, callooo calay, that’s what I got!

“After” post coming soon.

(Oh, aren’t I so mean?)
