September 17, 2008-not a good hair day-literally. Soooo I have not had my hair cut since Tampa, which at this point means not since June. I had been putting it off because I had to find a new person after 10 years of the same person in Florida. Today, I take on that challenge.
I am referred to a very hip hair place in the Pearl District of Downtown Portland. I was a little nervous entrusting my hair to someone new but I thought "ok what the h--l, just do it already, girl your ends are hideous."
I am sitting in the hair stylists chair giving her the low down of my situation and she asks if I am opposed to cutting some length off, doing more layers and adding some "dimension" around my face. (I am thinking gosh that is a lot of suggestions-do I look that bad? HA HA, I actually thought I was looking pretty good.) Now mind you she shows me where she was talking about cutting the length up to and I thought "ok, not so bad, probably would make my face not look as long". She was attractive with good hair cut and color and seemed to know what she was doing so I just let her rip. But do they ever do exactly what they say they are going to do?? NO!
This place is so up to date that each stylist has an assistant so that she cuts and her assistant styles and she follows up. Needless to say 35 minutes later, after the assistant states "you took a lot off", did I realize the extent of the new "do" which involved a "pseudo bang" and lots of layers. I'm looking in the mirror-deep breath-not so bad. I say to myself "you needed a change, it can always grow back". However not real sure I liked it but knew it was a good cut-hip for an almost 38 year old (as of tomorrow) if I say so myself.
Plus I needed to go get an Oregon license (which not really sure I am ready for since I sooo love my Gator tag) so what better day than today to have a picture. The only other thought I had was "oh boy, the hubby is not going to like this" for as most of you know he is all about "all naturale"-long hair, no hair color, no make up, no added extras. "He looooooves me juuuust the way I am"-literally. So his comment was "it looks cute". Not quite sure what that meant. Most likely he liked it better longer. I was not so sure sure I liked it myself but too late now.
Sooooo next stop was to get the Oregon tag and license....(this escapade really added to my morning and I think it made me hate my hair even more). To be continued...

I want a picture!!!
I am very proud of you for stepping out of your comfort zone...nothing like a move across the country to add some umphh.
You have got to send a picture, can't imagine you with short(er) hair. Reminds me of a haircut I had after moving to Florida and trying to find someone good. I got the bangs, layers and length off (not my idea) to but it wasn't hip unless a 26 yr old with a 50ish haircut is hip. YUK!!! Miss you, thanks for the laugh!!
Like mother like daughter. I just had my hair cut Saturday and it too is too short. When will I learn? You think it can only be better than it was before the haircut but that isn't always so.
Love you
Like mother, like both daughters! Obvi, we get our hair obsession from somewhere... not mentioning any names... mom:) Sooo not looking forward to having kids one day who will be blaming me for everything... haha. I'm sure it looks great, Juls!! Tell Paul it's better to have a little "extra" rather than going totally granola on him! xx
I can not believe your topic this time. I told myself yesterday that I was going to step up my yoga. I have only been doing it twice a week on a good week and I told myself I was going to step it up to 5 days a week. Now I know yoga is not like working out at the gym or running but it does make me feel a great deal better.
Love you,
Mom
