The BIG Cut!


After two months of heat, I decided it was time to make the "big cut."  Honestly, it was almost spontaneous.  In the past, I've scheduled my hair appointment weeks in advance.  I'd go to the store and purchase a couple of hairstyle magazines, then leaf through them selecting several hairstyles I might choose.  Then, I'd mull over those hairstyles choosing which parts of each one that I liked and wanted for my new 'do.

But, this time around?  I called the day before my appointment, printed off a picture I saw online, and headed out the next day with Jon in tow to take pictures.

10" tail cut off!
Thankfully, (and probably selfishly) I was making a Locks of Love cut.  So, I knew how much was coming off and how short my hair would be after the "big cut."
 

When she started the "real" cut, she gradually took off more and more until we came to the final result.  I think it helped me to get used to how short it is now.  We kept looking at the picture and I kept saying that I liked the length in the picture, but I think she knew it would be a huge shock for me. 


Here's the finished result!  Super Short!  Much shorter than I've gone in years!  And, I love it!  Can't you tell?  I have a weird face in this picture ... but I guess that's pretty much normal, right?

It looks great Marisa!!! I got my hair cut a few weeks ago as well and I didn't have her cut it as short as I normally do and now I kinda wish I had. This summer heat, though not nearly as bad here as where you are, has been hard to deal with. Thankfully the weather has cooled off for now. You really do look great!!

Pink Day

Today I was sifting through all the clothing and pulling out clothes that were stained and torn, as well as clothing the children had outgrown. There was a huge pile of clothing to sort through, and an ever growing pile of clothes to donate.  At one point, I pulled out a pink t-shirt and asked, "Whose is this?" Someone said it was Maryanne's, which couldn't have been true because it was a size 8. It wasn't her color anyway ... So I tossed it in the donate pile. (In hind sight, I now think my mom gave it to Maryanne for Christmas, and she said that she wasn't sure what size to get for Maryanne. Whoops on my part.) That's when Adam exclaimed that he wanted a pink shirt. Other children chimed in with, "It is his color." (Referring to his Dressing Your Truth type.) Adam bolted toward the donate pile and seized the shirt, promptly pulling it over his head and the collared shirt he had on. (Later he removed the collared shirt, after much cajoling from ...

85+ Books!

It's been almost a year since I started keeping track of all the books I've read.  When it's all in a list ... by date ... it really makes me realize how much I read!  I burned through almost a book a day in the month of January: 24 books total ... the greatest number of books in one month!  After compiling the list, I figured I may as well share it with all my friends!  I've organized them by genre/topic ... and now I realize I need to branch out more!  Books I read multiple times this year have asterisks.

My Two Teenagers

As personalities come, these two girls are like night and day. Both are silly at times, and both can be serious at times. And yet, that rarely happens at the same time! We have entered the world of teenagers, and it is quite the dramatic world! My oldest daughter is dealing with all the drama that teenagers bring: ostracism, judging, and feeling friendless. My younger teenager is just full of fun dramatics: silly faces and expressions, acting wonky and crazy, and saying that "everyone is my friend, even their mom and dad!" At any rate, I couldn't be more in love with these two. They fight over their littlest sister ("I get to hold her!"  "You've been hogging her all day!"), fight over who spends more time in the shower ("I do NOT spend an hour in the shower!"), and fight over who gets my MacBook ("She always gets to do her school on your computer!"  "But, all my stuff is on there!").  My world would be quite dramatical...
