To cut or not to cut?

Not specifically in anticipation of a wedding (but the thought has crossed my mind). Now that I’ve got locks in the middle of my back, I am finding that not only am I tired of all this hair but it is so long I am unable to do most of the funkier styles I liked to do. I keep gravitating towards cutting it. I am pretty sure I am on boy time for a proposal. So, it goes without saying a wedding probably wouldn’t happen until late 2008 or 2009 (and that is being generous). I’d have about a year to grow out a shorter style….so what do ya’ll think? Should I go ahead and chop it all off today or just have them take a few inches off? You should probably know I’m not afraid of huge style changes. I have been known to go from long to short, from blonde to red head, from curly to straight all on a whim. *The greatest pleasure in life is doing what people say you can not do.*

Nothing is more sacred as the bond between horse and rider...no other creature can ever become so emotionally close to a human as a horse. When a horse dies, the memory lives on because an enormous part of his owner's heart, soul, very existence dies also...but that can never be laid to rest, it is not meant to be... - Stephanie M Thorn

Up until about a year and a half ago I kept it between my shoulders and mid back. Last year I grew it almost to the bottom of my back. As great as it looked when I really 'did' it, it was a pain on the days that I wasn't up for doing it. On a surprise trip home to see my Mom for mothers day I went with her to a hair appt she had and we ended up cutting it and donating 13 inches. It felt so good! I absolutely love the shorter cut, and I never thought I would!! So congrats on the cut...I know it's exciting! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Great minds discuss ideas, average minds discuss events, small minds discuss people. ~ Eleanor Roosevelt

Boy am i glad, easy to care for, can be worn in many different styles. BUT most importantly NEVER do something just for a man. Do what makes you happy and he will be thrilled that you are so happy. This advice from a 60 year old who has been there and done that...
