..short hair & catching up..

I can't believe I have gotten so far behind.  Umm, actually I can.  We have some hectic weeks behind us, and probably more ahead.  And, Oh, on top of everything, my laptop has failed :(  Needless to say, it has put a hitch in keeping up with my cyber life.  I admit it, I am an internet junkie.  However, last night was the first time in a while that my hubby and I had a computer-free night where we could snuggle and watch a movie without making room for my typing arm or getting a crick in my neck. Tonight I am going old school, and retreating to the old PC.  Not quite as efficient, but I have got to get some stuff going on here.

A couple of weeks ago I felt I needed a change of style, so I grabbed the scissors and started chopping and here is my outcome.  I am always a bit out of my league when cutting my own hair, but I think I did alright, I have gotten lots of compliments anyway, so not too bad, huh?

..hair today, gone yesterday..

 Okay, so for a while now I have been thinking about doing a post that shows how short I had my hair a few years back. I think it was about three years ago that I started letting it be long again because I wanted it to be longer for my wedding day (which I also need to do a post about sometime in the future), and I had it short for a couple-a years.  It grows so fast that I can barely keep up with the maintenance when it is short, but during these hot summer months it sure is tempting to hack it off again.  Unfortunately, there aren't very many pictures of me from this time frame, at least not many good ones, but here are a few that I was able to track down.

 Above, we were in Ohio for Mike's 10 year reunion, which was '06, not long after the initial cut.  

And, down town Fort Smith in the picture below.

 And these pics are at my Grandparents' house when my Great Aunt Lukie and my cousin Teresa were visiting from California. They are the ones sitting on either side of me and Granny and Papa are on the right of the one above.  My Granny is who a lot of my really amazing vintage clothes are from.
