Lighter

January5

I haven’t had a haircut since either right before moving to Guatemala or right after coming home (I can’t remember).  I hate going to new hairdressers.  I hate the awkward small talk.  I hate trusting a stranger with scissors.  I’ve asked just about everyone I’ve met if they love their hairdresser and no one has really said they do.  My hair was finally so long and on my nerves that I bit the bullet and called a random salon.  The girl was such a baby – about 23 years old.  But she did a good job and spent more time cutting my hair than most stylists I’ve been to – I imagine I will go back to her in the future.  My hubby was shocked when I walked in.  In my head, this is the way my hair always looks so I didn’t really understand the fuss.  I will say the back is shorter than I’ve probably ever had it (it is shorter in the back than the front).  I include photos not because it is fabulous, simply because if I don’t I know you will ask for one.

    Tres chic! And I agree with Kim – Sabrina in the before picture is clearly wishing her mom had a haircut. 🙂

    Oooooo…purty!! I like it a lot! I think you look great. : ) You are right, it can be tough to find a hair dresser that is okay to spend time and is skilled. It is particularly lame for me since I technically am a hair dresser (graduated from school, just did not work in a salon). When I get my hair cut, I practically have to close my eyes the entire time because I mentally freak when I see them mess up. : P

    P.S. Gotta love Sabrina’s face in the first pic. Hee hee…it’s rough to get all bundled up. Also, about that puppy…yeah, we have a rather spirited one…Jason does call it “Chuckie”. And yes, he definitely has to lose his batteries. ; D Hee hee…

    Enjoy your weekend and God bless.

    I love it. i have the exact same hair cut. My husband HATES it, 10 inches gone, poof. He was not impressed, I however LOVE it and everyone tells me how thin it makes me look. WAHOO.

    It looks awesome on you. Hugs — Jules

    Like the after pic but forgot to look at you in the before pic – too focused on Sabrina’s funny mad face 😉

    Cute!! Glad to hear things are going well for you, headaches, etc. I hope that you can find some half-way decent maternity clothes!

    Hey, love the cut. That is the cut I had (actually a tad shorter if you can believe it) done in Feb when I donated the other 40 inches to Locks of Love. It looks better on you. I liked on me (yes, perhaps just something different was nice) but I totally thought of you getting your hair cut like that when I got mine done. Agree with all comps, very sleek and chic. You look great! I figured out the book on Preg that I mentioned. “The Expectant Father” on a jacket showing a striped dress shirt and baby keys. If you have it let me know ( I know you have been getting lotsa goodies lately) otherwise I am sending it to you in the next week. Take care, honey!

    Love the new haircut! I LOVE my stylist, but you would have to drive a few hours to come here!! I feel for Sabrina in her coat and hat… Sophie acts much the same way!!
