LOOK WHAT I DID

See that? That's my NECK. It's not sweaty. Cuz there's no hair touching it. (Pssst. It's hard to take a picture of the back of your head.)













This week I was with a couple of girlfriends. I was commenting about the heat. Well - moaning and groaning on the floor is more like it - and swore I was going to shave my head. My friends said, "let's cut your hair!" and I said, "okay!"
And so we did.

And I like it.
I feel perky. Kinda funky. And when it's wet I look like a Romanian gymnast. (Except that I'm 5'7" and well over 85 pounds.)
And the BREEZE, people. Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah. Plus I bet I lost a good 200 grams.
I still use too much shampoo. And I can't stop touching it. And my kids look at me weird.
But the BREEZE. Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah.


Don't cry, Mom. It'll grow. If I let it.

    WOW - it looks ADORABLE!!!

    I know what you mean about that feeling. My SIL was a stylist and cut my hair and Chatty's for us before we left for Okinawa. (Good thing, too, cuz we arrived to temps in the high 90s. LOL) My hair felt so swingy, I kept shaking my head like a wet St. Bernard. (Which I'm sure was just a HAWT analogy for my poor husband. haha)

    Fun, fun. I was just thinking last night - I wonder how I'd look with the ol' GI Jane 'do. There's a woman here who has a schnitz and she looks AWESOME. I think I have time to do it and look awful and grow it back before my hubby comes back. ;-)

    It's super cute! I like it a lot, and I'm sure it'll help with the heat. And don't worry, you'll get used to the shampoo thing. :)

    Darling hair! Very cute cut on you. I've been trying to grow mine back out. I think I am rethinking now that it is getting close to summer.

    Cute! Seriously, chopping my hair off is one of my favorite things to do!

    1. Cute. Super cute.

    2. I have been in a cycle of yo-yo hair growth for years. I cut it, love it short, swing my head around like an idiot for weeks, then let it grow for a while, forgetting how awesome it is to have short hair until I get so fed up with my long hair that I cut it.

    Don't let this happen to you! You can break the cycle!

    You are beautiful, and that hair cut looks so cute on you. I love a new hair cut, swishing it from side to side and feeling the bounce of it. Hmmmm, maybe I need to call my stylist.

    It looks very attractive on you- and I can imagine it does help with the heat. Aren't you guys heading into "fall" about now?

    Oh-mah-goodness! That is just the greatest. Look look LOOK what it does to your cheekbones! Stunning!

    You guys did this yourselves, you say? Major chops! I'm a fan of the homemade do myself - but few women are gutsy enough to play with scissors. ESPECIALLY on a whim! Major, major chops!

    LOVERLY!

    ITs so cute! I just did the same thing!!! Except that here in MN my neck is COLD! I am going to have to be a scarf girl, at least til it gets a bit warmer here. Do your friends know how to cut hair? I wouldn't just randomly let my friends cut my hair:-) It is really cute!!!

    SO cute! I love that last picture where you're flirting with the camera. ;)

    You know, you make me want to make MY blog this cool... but I know it would never be as cool as yours, so then I just give up. :P How's the job hunt?

    (PS - my word verification is "glogle". What the heck? XP)

    Nice!

    It's funny I was thinking about cutting my hair short before I came...it is humid here in the southeast, but I imagine more so in MG, thought obviously I don't really know!

    Anyway looks great and Im glad you are more comfortable! :)

    I love it! It looks great on you. (I suppose there is some bias since it looks somewhat like MY hair, but we won't mention that.)
