I never knew I hated you

Oh, the weight of the revelation. I got my hair cut today, many, many inches came off. Watching the transformation I began calling out silent taunts in my head to the falling locks, "See ya suck-ah! And stay gone, punk. We're going to be just fine." I was surprisingly relieved to see it gone. To see my face.

Then at home we had another transformation, painting our living room a color called Stony Fields. The previous color was granny smith apple green. I thought I loved it, just like I thought I loved my hair. So wrong. I hated the green, hated it. And Stony Fields? I want to sing I am so happy, besotted with our milk chocolaty walls. Purrrr.

Was this really worthy of a post? Perhaps not, but it gives me the opportunity to post this picture in which I had just proudly (and with great self-mocking) declared,

"This is how I roll."




I'm a lucky woman because Sean snorted and chortled right along with me. But seriously, have you considered the things you might have in your life right now that you think you need? Think you love, but in reality are things that are literally weighing you down or denying you joy?

Go cut it, paint, snip it, toss it, whatever. It feels too good not to, I promise!

I love, love, love your haircut! Isn't it the best feeling? I had about 3 inches cut off with some side bangs after Sam was born. I don't know why I was holding on to my longer hair:)

Look at your tiny belly! And what a nice new haircut!
I am past due for a haircut - my hair no longer has any discerable style and I feel a little dip of despair everytime I look in the mirror. Yes, poor me.

Snort. "This is how I roll". Snirk.

Oh, and with that figure, and that hair, and being pregnant and still looking like a million bucks? I think I hate you. (kidding!!!!)

Really cute haircut sweetie.

The green sounds pretty, but I'm a big fan of the new color.

Keep rolling!

That length is great for you - and I am in agreement with the rest - the belly is adorable!

"God, you're cute!" she said in a platonic, belly-admiring way.

Pretty new Do! I love it and your new wall color. I too have a green apple room. It does not fit well. I need a soft change.

Change is good. Although not as good as paper money.

(See how Bossy did that?)

You are just too cute for me to like you!

I think It's a hormone thing. I cut off my hair every time I get knocked up. I don't however paint the living room.
