Monday it is...

By LoseIt!

I don't like to dwell, so I'm dealing with the hair situation. I know it isn't a bad cut because some people REALLY seem to like it. But I've figured out that it just isn't me. I think it will take about 3 or 4 months to really get it grown out enough to get the cut I want. I think there are a lot of people that look super cute with short hair, I just don't think I'm one of them.

 

I went and bought a few little barrettes and headbands to jazz it up a little bit. It is what it is. From here on out, I will just work it the best way I know how. :thumbup: Like several of you said, it is just hair and it will grow back. No big life change.

 

So, other than the hair debacle. the weekend went well. Friday, I sat at home and watched the sad, sad Rangers game. Saturday, I sat at home and watched the super fun Rangers game! It was a nice treat to cheer me up. Then we went for tacos, which is another treat!

 

After church and breakfast yesterday, my BFF and I went to see a show. We have season tickets to a regional theater in Dallas. They are quite a liberal group and can get a bit risque, but they always put on an excellent show. And they are never boring!! Yesterday was no exception.

 

Last night I finished my weekend with the Colts game. Since that ended well, I would say I had a good weekend.

 

Hope your Monday is a good one!

    Your hair isn't really that short, I think it looks good. But doesn't it just get to you when a hairdresser does exactly opposite of what you ask. I was banded on 9-28 and had my hair done on the Saturday before, because I didn't want all that gray showing with me laying up there in that bed. I have dark hair and always have a few light highlights, but when my hairdresser wash me out, she made the comment that I had better look at it before she styled it. I am 61 and have never been a blond, never wanted to be a blond, but I was definitely blond. She had more highlights that dark. I was not about to go home like that, go to church like that. My husband and my church family would have thought I was trying to go wild before I had my lapband. So she was able to put more dark highlights in and it turned out ok. Incidentally, I have lost 26 lbs, since the 2 weeks before the 28th, am very happy with it thus far. My first fill in will be 11-17, but so far, I haven't had any trouble with losing. I wish I could have done this 30 years ago.

    I love the choppy look on the back, and there is so much you can do with it. You could flip it up with a straightener or put tiny spirals on the sides. I think it looks really great on you. It really shows your beautiful face.

    I say YOU GO GIRL!!!! If I was single I would do the same. I keep wearing my hair up and asking my husband "how does this look" and he keeps just shrugging his shoulders and says he likes it long. I think having it short and/or wearing it up makes our faces look thinner (at least my face anyway). I know if I was in your shoes I would be freaking out though since I have never had short hair..well maybe when I was like 5 or so but not since then. As you said if you decide you really don't like it then it will grow out..probably even quicker than you think since you just got a really good cut and it has really healthy ends now. Take care!!
