There are so many things grammatically wrong with the title, but I don’t care.
I got my hair cut. It’s a big deal.
I like my hair long, always had it long. 1st time I ever had it cut was when I was 8 years old (i think). It was waaaay past my buttox at that point, and mama decided to chop it off to ABOVE my shoulders. Why? — well, her logic was .. “We are going to Hawaii and it’s hot there.” oh, and she always throws in the… “you always used to pee on it when you went to the bathroom.” — Soooooo not true. And how would she know anyway? By that age I was wiping myself!
After that cut, I grew it out again and again… I chopped it once in HS to a few inches below my shoulders. Then 10 years later, after my wedding … I chopped it again and decided to donate it.
This was taken in in 2008…
Then my chop – this chop was my favorite chop…
TH and I were looking through some old photos a few days ago
and he saw this pic and said he really liked my hair that way.
(sorry it’s small)
I was feeling a bit inspired at this point. Not just because of the comments from TH, but also because it hit 104 degrees here yesterday, and long hair makes you hot. Literally.
Also recently my younger sis (Nay) and my Ma had chopped their hair.
It seems they were both waiting until Nay’s wedding was over to do their chops. Here are their Before and After shots…
After my last chop, I tried to maintain the cut for about year, then I grew it out again …
This photo was taken a few weeks ago at Nay’s rehearsal dinner.
And this… was taken about an hour ago.
Not a dramatic change, but it sure as heck feels a lot ‘cooler’ now.









love it!!!
