A Hairy Decision...

OK~this post is primarily for my personal friend Funderstorm. Here's my hair. It's growing.




I have a question for anyone else who wants to chime in just for kicks. Why do we do this to ourselves? You know the question: cut my hair or let it grow? Most women I talk to would have shorter hair than they sport around, but their HUSBANDS want them to have longer hair. Why? Is it supposed to be sexier than short hair or something? That's the only thing I can think of.

PandaPop likes my hair growing out, but has told me countless times, that he likes it any way I wear it and that it should be MY decision, not his. Thank you, sweet man. I am the one forcing myself into this never-ending pendulum swing.

Just this week I saw a girl at the gym with her darling super short do like I used to wear and I have to say that I almost got the scissors out right after I hopped off the treadmill. She just looked so spunky and FREE! Then I go on to see some chic in the locker room with super long hair for a woman my age (or older) and she looked very feminine and luxurious. Oh, the drama. To cut or not to cut?....that is the question.

Longer hair certainly looks cute when tossed up in an up-do with wispies falling around one's face or a sassy ponytail coming out the back of a baseball cap. However, shorter hair is so darn spunky and much cooler on the neck! Oh---and let's get me started on the whole flat iron era. I never even mess with those, because I have always taken as little time as possible to get my hair done. Today, however, I thought I'd try to "straighten" my hair for a new look with the longer tresses. Mind you, I ALREADY HAVE straight hair, but wanted the look I see on other women with the straight-all-the-way-down model. I have NO IDEA how you girls with natural waves or curls put yourself through the ritual of "straightening" your hair only to have to do it again in the morning. YUCK!!! Too hard and too much time! My hair is waaaaaay too T-H-I-C-K to try and straighten it. You see in the pic that the back didn't even get touched. I am clapping for those of you who take the time to flat iron your hair. You deserve kudos or something....maybe a massage would be better for your tired arms. Hence the reason I want my short hair back. But I can't do it yet. I guess there is some inner cave woman in me that wants to see if I can grow it long enough for PP to pull me around by my long tresses and then watch him beat his chest in triumph. Not really. That's just stupid. In fact, ALL of this is stupid. People are longing for food in their bellies right now and I am concerned over getting my hair cut or not. Hmph. Thank you, Lord that I have hair.
