Three years ago, my hair was below the shoulders.

Two years ago, after I lost 40 pounds, I got it cut in a chin length bob.

Last month I got it cut in a kind of bushy mid-short cut that I couldn’t really get used to.

So tonight, I went and got it cut very, very, very short. I’m very excited about it.

My husband, always a long-hair man, said, “What makes you think that’s even remotely attractive?”

Luckily I don’t depend on him for validation.

    Indeed. I, myself, like the ‘Jamie Lee Curtis with a finger stuck in a light socket’ look and would have it RIGHT NOW if a snow storm hadn’t stopped me in my gimpy tracks today.

    Enjoy!

    Oh, yeah!

    When I washed it and just let it dry, it came out kind of bushy, but Bedhead something or other to the rescue!

    I gotta get someone to take a picture.

    Sounds like your husband should grow his hair out ;-)

    Congrats on the haircut, and sorry about the insensitive comment–I’m glad you don’t get your validation from him!

    He’s a trip. I’m giving him a hard time, but reminding him that in the dark, he doesn’t have to see the hair…

    Whoa! Although I have been known to hand out pretty severe penances for insensitivity, blinding him sounds a little extreme…

    I like it! I’m a short haired girl myself. I think it just takes time to get used to change and maybe he’s just not quick on the uptake.

    The dog is pretty damn cute too.
