I'm no longer a hairy Ape... er, April

Song Stuck on the Brain: Circle of Life from Lion King

Well, I finally did it. I've been growing my hair out to donate to Locks of Love for a while now. It was finally long enough last August, but my stay in the hospital damaged the ends and I had to chop 5 inches and start over. It's been 9 and half months and it was definitely time. It was starting to drive me nuts. I kept leaning back trapping my hair, or rolling it up in the car window. Not fun. I don't usually wear it any longer than around my shoulder blades.

I have had short hair before, but it's not been this short since I graduated highschool, 13 years ago. My co worker told me that my new hair cut took 10 years off of me. I replied, "Good grief! How old did you think I looked before?!" She assured me that I now look 17. I'm not buying it, but it's nice to hear. :)

My hair was just a few inches above my waist.

Locks of Love requires a minimum of ten inches.

Becky cut a little more than 10".

I really like my new cut, it's going to take some practice on the styling end, but I'm happy.

If you or anyone you know would like to donate hair for kids with cancer, check out Locks of Love.

Somethin's buggin' me

Song Stuck on the Brain: Big Enough by Tobymac and Ayiesha Woods

Thank goodness it's Thursday. My poor little fevered brain is drawing a blank at to what I should post. I've got a little bug that's dragging me down and all I want to do is go to sleep.

I did finally come to the decision that it's time to donate my hair to Locks of Love. I've got an appointment set with the hairdresser for next Thursday, so I'll post pics then of the before and after. I'll be sending 11 inches to the charity and hope that it will do someone a world of good. I anticipate still having shoulder length hair (cuz any shorter and it's not a pretty look.)

Okay, sorry to be so brief and boring today. I'm off to bed and the rest of Legend of the Firefish.
