Opinions Needed

Okay, right now my hair is about down to my waist, and I'm getting a little sick and tired of it. Especially since my son is totally infatuated with pulling it. So not cool.

So I am contemplating getting it all cut off and donating it to one of the following charities:

Locks of Love

Children with Hairloss

It still remains to be seen if I will be brave enough to do it. ;) But in the meantime I've been playing with different hairstyles on InStyle's Makeover thing, which is BTW super fun! If you want to waste a few hours of your day take a pic and go there. You won't regret it. :-D

So here are the hairstyle's I'm looking at. And I may do sort of a progression of all of them actually. Really the first two and second two are variations of the same style anyway.



Try to disregard the hair sticking out of the bottom in the very short hairstyles I didn't get my hair completely up in a bun when I took the picture.

So what do y'all think?

I like the really short first two, but I'm afraid you would be in shock at the change. The fourth one is like mine. It is easy to take care of and looks really cute in the picture. Also, it wouldn't be such a drastic change.

I didn't know there was more than one place to donate! I plan on doing locks of love when I finally cut mine. But I don't want it incredibly short, so I'm waiting another inch, hehe.

And my opinion is the fourth one :)

I alwasy wanted to tell you that I thought your hair at halloween with the "flapper" girl style looked awesome!!

You will look great with the short cuts!! I finally went with shoulder length hair instead of down my back about three years ago. Much more flattering and "hip." Ok now I feel like a wanabe young person... :)

Julia is right that flapper look was adorable on you! I love short hair. My only problem is my girls hate, hate, hate short hair and everytime I cut is short I have to be really, really sneaky and not tell them until its over. They always end up liking it, so I don't know why they make such a fuss!

As a mom of young kids I always ended up loving the shorter cuts. So much time saved, so easy to look good. But I have a really easy time going from super long to short spiky. It's always been easy for me, but it's not they way for all people so like Susan said don't shock yourself!

I love the third cut, and it looks like it'd be easy to maintain, too. The first two are cute, but they look like they'd take a fair amount of styling in the morning--something I definitely don't have the stomach for!

I would say 3 - it can be cute with less effort, but is still a great change. It will feel so freeing - I don't know how you've survived the hair pulling so long!

I'm all for three or four. And good for you for going short -- I look like a boy when I do it.

I like the first and fourth. Looking at all the other comments you have this isn't much help is it? LOL!

That would be awesome to donate your hair. I like the 1st pic and the 4th. (although they are all cute!)

Thank you all for your input! I went with #3 without bangs. Was going to get bangs but I chickened out at the last moment. ;) It's pretty darn easy to fix, which was a big swaying point.

13 of my Favorite Quotes from Fiona O'Sithein I'm too darn sleepy to be creative tonight so I'm drawing on my ready-made list. Not to be confused with the one I did about the first lines of the chapters in Fiona. Those weren't nearly my favorites. Is it narcissistic to have favorite quotes that you wrote yourself? When I'm giggling my head off at something I wrote, my husband always looks at me kinda funny. Oh, well if it is, then here is me reveling in narcissism. :-D May you enjoy them as much as I do. 1. Fiona: “What? You think just because I don’t have any magic like my brother or super strength like you people that I’m useless?” 2. Bonnie: “He’s not a heretic, is he?” Fiona: “Isn’t everyone these days?” 3. Fiona: “No one wants to be the one to deflower the king’s daughter.” 4. Fiona: “Yes, Beltran, you’re a vampire. How could anyone forget it when you’re reminding them of it ten times a day? You are the only vampire I know who seems to obsess ab...

Thirteen Things that take My Breath Away 1. This little Guy... Need I say More? 2. Eden Falls at the Lost Valley This picture doesn't even remotely do it justice. The first time I saw Eden Falls was in the middle of the summer after a big rain storm so there was water absolutely gushing from it! It made getting into the cave at the top somewhat more difficult than usual, but it was absolutely beautiful. I had never seen anywhere like it in my life. I thought places like that only existed in wall calenders! 3. The Ocean The vastness of it. The sound of the waves. The smell of it. That humid, cool wind that blows off it. The way it moves. Pretty much everything about it! *Lesley desperately needs a trip to the beach* 4. The Ozark Mountains My home! The very first time I came here I just knew this was where I wanted to be. I grew up on the delta with nothing but rice fields and flat land as far as the eye can see. There is a place on the drive up the mountain where you come around a c...

Well, I had been planning on putting up 13 pictures from my vacation, but my computer crashed yesterday and has to go to the doctor. I hope they can fix it, because I haven't backed up those 450 pictures I took. :-( I did upload all the really cute ones of Nicky to snapfish though, so at least there is that. This brings me to the question I have for y'all...Does anyone have a good gremlin banishing ritual they would like to share with me??? Just this week, my fridge, my car and my computer have all stopped working. The car was just a battery problem, and it has been replaced. I still don't know what is wrong with the computer or the fridge yet though. Without pictures but still in honor of my vacation... 13 Things I Did in Denmark Fed the ducks, swans, and geese at Damhus Lake. Nicky loved this! He was absolutely entranced by the birds. His favorite part (and keep in mind, he is a boy) was throwing the bread so that it landed on the swans back and then laughing hyst...
