To Top it all Off

I have been pondering a change with my hair and had a great example in my niece Mary. She was playing beauty shop with her cousin Emma and somehow the real scissors got in the mix of supplies.Mary claims that she told her that she didn’t want her to do it and told her no.  Needless to say the girl who was born with only a few strands of hair and at 4 years old could FINALLY put her hair in a pony tail now has a cute little bob hair cut courtesy of Emma and Asher (the girl that fixed the original hair cut). It really is cute, but I think that Mindy was way more traumatized by the event than Mary was.
 
So occasionally I have mini-crisis in my life and decide that my hair needs to change. I was trying to grow my hair out for a while but then gave up in July. So my hair is just below my chin now and I dyed (spelling?) it red. But now I want to get it cut shorter but I want a picture to show the girl that is going to cut my hair so I turned to my friendly neighborhood Google to help me with this. Do you want to know what I have found out about my hair? It has multiple personality disorder. Yep. You read right. My hair is thick, sort-of curly, but the individual strands are kind of thin. Plus my face shape is neither round nor square..All of these factors mean that I should stop trying to find a picture on the internet because all the hair looks either really weird or I think would look weird on me. So hopefully going short short is a good idea. Perhaps I will post some before and after pictures and you can all see for yourself and maybe Mindy will update her blog and you can see the cute cut that Mary has.
By the way, since I am going off about hair, did you know that having a different color of hair is kind of fun? I have only dyed my hair once before in my life and that was not permanent. It was kind of scary to just dye it. But having red hair is kind of fun. It is not too extreme and either people just haven’t noticed or don’t think it looks good not that many people have commented on the red. But hey, I like it, It makes me happy and it is my hair. :)

How can I control my life when I can't control my hair? 

Tumbling Random Thoughts

Here are some thoughts that were tumbling around in my head lately, this list is in no particular order.

  • I should golf more than once a year because my back kind of hurts.
  • I got par on one of the holes, it was over a water hazard and everything! (the ball splashed in the water and rolled up the hill and landed about 4 feet from the hole. Be impressed. I gave up when I saw the water splash, Melissa had to tell me what happened)
