Favorite Day of the Year So Far!

I chopped my hair! Uber-short, uber-cute, and shouldn't be too much effort either! Time will tell. I don't want to get over-excited, but it took the lady at the shop all of three minutes, and she put a lot more effort into it than I'm planning to. It was awesome to see my ponytail cut off for Locks of Love, and know that someone is going to enjoy that hair as much as I have!

Actually, I decided to do it yesterday when I realized that my hair was the thing in my life that was making me the most angry ~ at least that I can control. I spend so much time brushing it, my Gavi pulls a giant amount out every day, and it's constantly all over in my house. And I've had headaches for three days because between the ponytails and the braids, it's constantly pulling against my scalp. Oh my goodness, am I feeling so happy and free! A few more vacuumings and I don't reckon I'll be irritated by that long hair anymore!

They needed ten inches for Locks of Love, and I was able to donate fourteen inches. Also, I've been thinking that my hair was getting really thin because so much is falling out. Not even! The lady said that they would probably be able to make a wig out of just my ponytail, even though it usually takes two or more to make one. That cut end of the ponytail was the coolest texture I've ever touched. I kind of wish I could have kept it just for a while just to show people.

I guess that's kind of creepy.

Caleb Zakai brought me a flower this morning! He was out fertilizing the yard with Grandpa as Grandma and I were poring over short hairstyles. He came running in the house and brought me a tiny purple violet looking thing. As I was absolutely melting down into tears because it was so precious, he said goodbye and retreated back outside. My first gift from my son! It will have to be saved, even though I'm not a saver.

Something tells me I'm about to become a saver.

Now I'm just chilling on the couch with my sweet Gavers beside me. He's getting so much personality, and it shines through at the sweetest of times. Whenever I'm at the end of my proverbial rope, he gives me a goofy (and ornery!) grin, and my whole perspective on life changes.

Okay, I have to go. I think I'm going to start wearing makeup since my hair is actually stylish. (Elisha Cuthbert's pixie cut was one of my examples. Eek!) But it means that I'm going to have to figure out "a look." Next time anyone sees me, I'm going to be terrifyingly chic!

Where are the pictures? I can't believe you had 14 inches to give. I didn't realize that your hair was that long. I hate finding my hair all over too. SOOO gross!
