Happy smurf girl gets a haircut

[same_sky]

I have never before in my life had hair so short that it will no longer go up in a ponytail... until now.

We were at the mall today in Ashland and I decided that I was going to get it over with if they weren't too busy. As it turned out, I only got to flip through three pages of the book before my name was called. :) As such, I didn't have a picture for her to look at and she didn't watch either of the TV shows that I was inspired by, so I told her that I wanted it short and flippy, about as long as hers. I was brave when I went in and extremely nervous when she was cutting it. ;) We took a couple of pictures but they weren't really great.. the wind was blowing. Plus I was standing in the shade so the picture quality isn't so great. This is just after I got out of the car, where I played with it for an hour on the way back, so it's a little unfixed. Anyway, here we go. Before (today, even!) and after.



I'll let you know if I still like it tomorrow when I have to fix it. ;) But actually, it feels sooo good to have lost all that hair that I don't think I care how it looks! :)

Krista's Special Olympics thing was very cute, and Magnus did better than I did at actually getting a few action shots. They were, for the most part, all so happy to be there, and Krista was incredibly proud of herself. She got two blue ribbons, too. :) And a white.. but that was for the relay race, and the little girl who was afraid of the gun (and therefore couldn't be first in the relay) forgot to run when Krista handed it to her. *giggle* So cute. We also had a nice lunch at the Mexican restaraunt in the mall.. we had intended to eat in the food court but the noise was so loud we couldn't even hear ourselves think.

Oh, and Magnus talked to people about my watch while I was getting my hair cut. I had brought it with me. The jewelry store guy basically said that some people were just like that, there wasn't a whole lot he could say about it, but they couldn't work on Fossil watches there, but he told him where in the mall could. (The watch stand I originally was taking it to but Magnus thought we should talk to a jeweler. *giggle*) Anyway, she tested the battery and found it to be less than half full. I'm not sure what to think about that, because it stopped working after three days. So.. did I do it, or did WalMart sell me a sucky battery? The other battery I bought there the same week stopped, too. Anyway, I have my favorite watch working again, and am keeping my fingers crossed that it'll stay that way.

It's so cute!!

That's kind of how I was planning to get mine cut but I haven't taken that plunge yet. I think it looks great, thoo. :)

Thank you! I can't get over how short it is. *giggle*

[courtesy.livejournal.com]

That looks great! Really suits you!

[same-sky.livejournal.com]

Thank you! Can't wait to see how fixing it goes tomorrow.. :)

[paradisecowgirl.livejournal.com]

Wow, I really like that on you! :) And having had longish hair before and getting it cut, I know that you'll be really surprised just how light it feels in the shower too!

I'm actually in the process of growing my hair out longer that it has been for year -- for the wedding and then chop chop! :) Or maybe not... ;-)

[same-sky.livejournal.com]

Thank you! Wish the picture was better, but I'm too lazy to try again tonight. ;)

I usually have long hair, but I love how it feels today. It grows freakishly fast, though, so for the last two or three years, I've been growing it out, cutting it off and growing it out again. But this is the shortest I've ever had, especially with the layers. I got a little freaked out when I saw how short she was cutting those! *grin*

And I grew my hair out for my wedding, too. :)

That's a super cute haircut! I think it really makes you look a lot cuter since it is more defined. Cool!

[same-sky.livejournal.com]

Thank you muches! (Hope I'm still liking it in a week.) :)

[balison.livejournal.com]

I agree with the others...your new cut is more stylish and fresh. Mine has grown out to the length of yours now and I really like it.

[same-sky.livejournal.com]

Thanks! I've never had trendy hair before. *grin* :)

Cute cut! Isn't it liberating to chop it all off???

[same-sky.livejournal.com]

Thanks. :) Yep, it feels great! Soo light.

[hlu.livejournal.com]

Looks great =))

[same-sky.livejournal.com]

Thank you!

[gissa.livejournal.com]

It looks great!

[same-sky.livejournal.com]

Thanks!

[mriika.livejournal.com]

you look maaaaahvelous! :)

[same-sky.livejournal.com]

Thank you! It feels maaaahvelous, too! :)

Kisha it looks really lovely, cool and summery. I agree with Dawn that you'll find it quite liberating.

My hair looks much like your "before" shot. I've not had anything done to it since I've been in Sweden and it has grown really long. I'd love to go back to a short bob, but I think the cost of haircuts here makes it really too expensive to consider.

Thanks! It feels so weird to not have anything touching my neck.

You could always take lessons from reebert on cutting your own hair..

[stewlis.livejournal.com]

WOW! In the before pic you look like you did when we were in that Soc class together with the Nike guy. ROFL--I hadn't thought of him in a long time!! I always loved playing with your hair and doing that flippy thing when I walked behind you, cos it did that swoosh thing really well. *giggle* That's shorter hair than I've ever seen on you, and it's so cute!!! Definitely suits you!

[same-sky.livejournal.com]

*grin* I remember the flippy thing! It was cute. :) My hair was just about as long as it was then, and I was curling the ends up at the time, too, so I guess it was the same hairstyle. ;)

The Nike guy.. giggle. I always think of him as the poaching guy. Such a strange individual.

[stewlis.livejournal.com]

ROFLROFL I always forget about the poaching thing..not sure how since he mentioned it like, every day, but probably because I never paid more than half attention to him in the first place. I miss doing the flippy thing!!

[same-sky.livejournal.com]

Ooops, forgot to say thanks. I should take a better picture and post it. I love having short hair (though I don't think I wanna get much shorter than this.) You should try it! ;)

[stewlis.livejournal.com]

You're welcome!! :D I like my long hair, though...I've only had it short a few times in my life (three to be exact, I think) and I've hated it every time, except for the relief of headaches of course. But latley I haven't had those much, unless I wear a ponytail all day. So, nah...think I'll keep it long!
