Welcome To My Life

I finally did it...I cut my hair. I have been growing my hair for about 2 years. Basically because I was too lazy to get a haircut so I trimmed my bangs myself. Occasionally I would get my hair trimmed by my hairdresser. I decided when I turned 40 I was going to get it cut into a "bob". I love that style. I'm at the salon, sit in the chair and tell my hairdresser "ok..I'm ready to cut my hair". I tell her I want a shoulder length "bob" and make sure it's long enough to put in a ponytail. I wear my hair in a ponytail everyday! And then I change my mind..."well, what if I keep it long but just have layers around the face so it's not so heavy around my face". I think maybe that will keep me from wearing it up. She tells me that I won't be able to put it in a ponytail with the layers because they'll just fall out. OK. No...I'm ready to cut it so I tell her to do the "bob". I want it to look like Jenny McCarthy's (she was on Oprah today). I sit watching her cut it and it looks good so far. She then blows it dry. Still looks good. She turns the chair (I can't see now) but I think we're almost done and she is just trimming ends. I was wrong. In the end, I have a chin length cut (someplaces even shorter) with layers all over. I can't even grab enough hair for the ponytail. What happened???? Somehow what I asked for gets lost in translation and I end up with both cuts we talked about in one style. I'm crushed. I waited 2 years for the "bob". Good thing my hair grows fast.

I call Pat (he's in Cincinnati) and tell him I got my hair cut SHORT! I tell him what it looks like. "It sounds like your trying to talk yourself into liking it", he said to me. I am...I'm trying to. It's a great haircut, just not what I wanted. Maybe it'll grow on me. I hope! {sorry no pic's until then}.
