A Hair-Raising (or Should I Say, Hair-Minimizing) Experience

I cannot believe I actually did it...as you will recall from my prior rantings, I have been wanting to cut my hair short for several months. Even before Alexandra was born, I decided I wanted to chop off my long hair for a new style that I thought would be easier to style in the mornings. Since she was born, my resolve to cut my hair has only strengthened, after countless mornings cleaning spit up out of my long hair and working strands of hair free from the tight grasp of Alexandra's little fingers.

My appointment was last night and I am very pleased with the results...I don't think it has quite sunk in yet, probably will when I next wash it. I love it though! I really think my hair stylist, Shauna, nailed the edgier bob I was going for. As best as I can tell, I think she cut off about 8-9 inches of hair!!

Here's some "self-portraits" I took last night with my BlackBerry of the finished look....please excuse the horrible quality and the high shine on my face....in my defense it was the end of the day and my makeup had slowly slid off my face throughout the afternoon due to the 90 plus degree weather here in Kentucky.

Love, love, love it! Jenny McCarthy has nothing on you - and well since I've resigned myself to the fact that I'll never be friends with her, now I have her twin sister whom I'm already friends with! Seriously, it looks great and I hope you find that it's easier to deal with all the way around. I'm so jealous that your hair falls so perfectly and effortlessly into place! I'd spend 2 hours on mine and it still wouldn't look that good. Way to go on taking the plunge!
