I've gotta start by saying, I've lasted longer than the gym rush. That's my success story...I met no goal, but yet, I lasted longer than the others. nd by others, I mean those "i'm going to lose weight this year" people who crowd my space at the gym. Every year, you can bank on January and some even last into most of February (since it's a short month and all) my gym is more crowded than usual. It's March now, and we're finally back to the regulars at the gym. And I've just barely outlasted the weight-loss resoluters. BARELY.
Remember my New Years Resolution? It was to grow out my hair. Well, it's March, and I went in to get the split ends trimmed. Soon, in a furious rage, somewhat startling my friend, my confidante, my therapist, my hairdresser and stylist extraordinaire, I'd convinced her to give me back my cute short A-line bob. Mind you, I'd made her take an oath a few months back that I'd be back begging her to cut my hair off, and that she better not fold on me. And she never balked ONCE today. Just "okay, let's do it." So, really, it's her fault.
When polling the mass audience...those who have to look at me all the time: It was 2-1. Ricardo wanted me to stick with growing my hair out...the ones on my head, not the ones on my legs. The other two in my polling audience get double votes. They are my SuperDelegates: JulzHolla! and Nikki-TheCakeMakingDiva. And both said the exact same thing. And they said the exact same thing as when I'd polled others when trying to grow my hair out the LAST time - a few years ago: "I like your hair short." The SuperDelegates speaketh. So be it.
Thing a is my hair ends up in a nasty ponytail with fly-aways when it's long enough. And thing b is my thin hair starts falling out in the shower as it grows. I've found a hair cut that works just for me. And I'll just stick with it.
I love make-over pictures where they look so pathetic and miserable in the befores, don't you:
I have a pretty good cold, and am hoping that's why my nose looks so big in this picture. It's how I feel, atleast...just check out the hair...
I'll reconstruct/revisit a better resolution: I'm going to resurrect my comedy career. And by career, I mean, I'm going to make a no-pressure commitment to open-mic nights. One a week. Whew! I'm getting crazy now!

Really great hair cut, Hunny! Very, very becoming!
Alas, most guys are the same about how "their women" wear their hair. In the Royster's case, he'd love my hair to be like it was when we met....BIG hair, fashioned just like Annette Funicello with the hair band, or BIG HAIR like Farrah Fawcett. However, I seem to have caught him a few months ago. An old H.S. school chum of his had come to town. She's adorable, and has very short hair. Looks great. She mentioned that she'd gotten her hair cut that week and was afraid it was a little too short this time, to which The Royster's comment was, "Oh! I like short hair on women!" He immediately shot me a guilty side glance. He's not since complained once about my short hair. He loves me anyway.
Mostly, I like that I don't color it any more, and am very comfortable with the genuine silver that's there. After chemo, my hair came back a color it's never been. By the way, I'm letting it grow out a little this year to see how the genuine silver looks with it.
I think you look hot! Ricardo does too, he just doesn't want to admit that he was wrong about this one! I definitely think the short cut works better. You look great.
You look hot and your nose does NOT look big. I think you may be my inspiration to get mine cut shorter. I'm going to put down my cookie and call the hair place right now...
