My New Do

Okay, so I took this crazy picture of myself a couple weeks ago. I say crazy, but really (sadly), it's a pretty acurate portrayal of me on any given day of the week. I took it because the kids laughed at my hair when they saw me that morning. I was planning to, at some point, look in the mirror and attempt to do something with it, but it just never happened this day. I was too involved with laundry, dishes, kids, (and okay, I will admit it - maybe a little facebook) etc. I just never got around to it. And, I certainly wasn't planning to post it on here for all the world to see, but then I got my hair cut a couple days ago.

I just had to take this rare opportunity for before/after shots.

So, here you have it:

Before: In the raw

(I dare you to shower at night, take a picture of yourself the next morning before touching your hair or face, and then POST IT ON YOUR BLOG! Let's just see if you can be as brave as me.)

I know. Irresistable, right? This is my hair in it's most natural state. If you were to look close enough, you might spot a gray one, or two. (Or more.)

After: Fake smile included

  

This is what I got from my loving family:

Sarah: Ran over to me smiling from ear to ear, and in her ecstatic voice exclaimed, "Mom, I like you even more now! Your hair is so cute!"

Marianne: With a puzzled look on her face said, "Mom, I don't recognize you at all now." Me, "Really?" Marianne's suggestion: "You could wear a wig.?."

Richard: "Well, you look more like your Mii character now." (Uh, was that a compliment?)

Who knew this new do would make such an impression on my family? I was mostly just grateful to get rid of all those bad ends!

One thing I learned: I HATE taking pictures of myself. It's kind of like slipping on the ice. I feel like I need to look around and make sure no one saw.
