Locks of love!

Well, I had recently decided that two YEARS was long enough to go without a haircut, and I thought that while the long hair was really pretty for a while, it was starting to look a little stringy and dowdy. So I made an appointment at the Baton Rouge Aveda Institute, which rocks, because they use all Aveda products and really great student stylists, and you can seriously get a haircut for $11. Wow.

So I went in and I was like, "It's too long!" And that's when she pointed out to me that it was in fact so long that I could donate to Locks of Love and still be able to have some decent length. So we did it, and I am so pleased! Okay, this is a picture taken by a five-year-old who is supremely excited to be using mommy's expensive camera after mommy has has a LOOOOOOOONG day with the chillins -- Daddy in in Kansas City, and the kids had a photo shoot today for an ad for a local store...and they weren't their normal pliant selves. Seriously, it was like pulling teeth! Hopefully they got a couple of good ones...Anyway, here is my "new look," and I am so happy I was able to do something good with all that extra hair! Posted by Picasa

oh, thanks Sarah! I was so excited when I realized that two years of basically not making time to go to the salon could go toward a good cause. Maybe God had this in mind all along and someone will really be helped out thanks to my hair. :-) That's a nice thought.

Alyson,

I love your new look. Can't wait to see it in person. Will did a good job with the camera. Maybe he will follow in mommy's footsteps. After all, he is very creative just like you.

Love, Mom E.

@Mom E.: Yeah -- he was SO excited when I asked him to do it...it might have had something to do with his impending bedtime though...lol. I will definitely tell him you said he did a good job!

@lovely Craftygirl: Thanks...younger was part of what I was going for, definitely! I was starting to feel like I needed to be wearing white nurse shoes with a big flowery dress with shoulderpads...well, you get the idea. Besides, I just needed to get glam to keep up with you!
