So I Had a Britney Spears Moment Today...

...and chopped off all my hair.
(melissa - you can probably cancel that hair appt for the wedding. i dunno if i'll have any hair by then to do.)

for reference, this is me on xmas night opening presents (this one happened to be an impossible-to-find mini rack that fits PERFECTLY inside my wok for steaming dumplings, which means nothing to you now but wait til you're eating my dumplings!). my hair was past the shoulders and well on it's way to being long again.

and i WAS planning on growing it out so i could donate it again. i've been pulling on it daily since march's chop hoping it would grow that much more. so when i paid phillip a visit this afternoon i had every intention of getting just a trim and MAYBE some spikey bangs...

but then we got to talking about how we first met a decade ago when i was looking for new stylist. our 1st encounter entailed 45 mins of intros, dirty jokes, and him chopping my mid-back length hair to about 3 inches.

ah, the memories...

the reminiscing of that particular day went on for a bit, and then next thing i knew it was snip, snip, CHOP, CHOP.

and now here i sit w/my new spikey boy cut. post-shower tnite i discovered it stands in all directions just fine on it's own. i like it, but kinda feel naked (is this how boys feel all the time?).

the only bummers are that it's now going to take FOREVER to grow out my hair again and i can't wear ponytails. still, i find solace knowing that it was not done under emotional distress or w/2 babies in tow...
