The Long and Short of It...

Just before I left for Ohio to have 1406 miles of fun, I wanted to chop all my hair off.

I had been contemplating it for a while and I was pretty sure it was taper madness talking. My Mom reminded me of the story of Samson and Delilah; Samson's strength was from his hair so I opted not to cut it just yet.

Within days of my return home to Maine, I was sitting with my girl Anne Marie, scissors sharp and ready to CHOP.




We ended up taking off well over a foot of  hair and had enough to donate.

Goodbye long, blonde ponytail.



No more long & blonde...


Bye Bye Braids. I will miss you!




I have had long hair my entire life with the exception of a really bad asymmetrical cut in the 80's...I was ready for a change.




I am still getting used to this shorter do and I'm diggin' just how easy it is to actually style it every day.
I think we need a 'lil sumthin' added so I will be channeling my teammate, Tonia for some FUNK inspiration...stay tuned! We need to jazz this up with some color.
