The World would be a better place…

So, yesterday I went to the salon. I chopped off most of my hair (this is the shortest my hair has been since I was two) and I dyed half of it red.

I think it is fabulous.

Family Reactions

Cowboy: Cute, if you like that kind of hair. (Which apparently he doesn’t.)

John: Your hair looks weird. (Probably what Cowboy thought and didn’t say.)

Spencer: Cool. (He at least appreciates my hair. He is a teenager after all and much free-er in thought.)

Samuel: I like your hair, Mom. It looks really nice. (And proceeded to touch and inspect it. This boy will make a great husband someday.)

The girls: (I don’t remember what they said. It must not have been too interesting.)

Truth: I love red.

Another Truth: Life is short.

Why not cut my hair as short and as sassy and as red as I want it?

I love it! Red is the way to go for sure, and the length is perfect. I think it is very flattering.

It’s very cute. And so are you.

Very cute. And did you know you have a double? There was a chick singing in the choir at the general RS broadcast who looked just like you, only with slightly longer hair. You can see her on the song that we all sang together and the director is in a little window in the corner of the screen so that she can lead us, too. Just behind the director, fourth row up. Dead ringer for you, I swear.

ROFLOL, I looove it!! My husband has banned me from cutting my hair anymore. The last cut that I got that was way longer than yours was “butch” to him. Yeah…whatever! I loooove it! It looks soooo fun!
