Seriously – I do. Today – Thursday, February 7, 2008 – I whacked all my hair off!!! I was so tired of it getting caught in the car door, the seat belt, my armpit. Yesterday – after spending 35 minutes straightening it – I was getting into the car, a draft sucked my hair out of the car, and my hair trailed over the top of the roof. Let me just tell you right now: it had rained earlier. As my hair was drying the top of the car off, I pulled it down, and it slapped against my face. Straightened no longer. And all this humidity didn’t help my cause. At that point, I had smoke coming out of my ears and my head started to spin.

Needless to say, I walked into my salon this afternoon and ordered the slaughter of my hair. I tried to be brave, but I have to admit I was sweating profusely and my hands were shaking. I felt violated as she made the first cut – and shortly thereafter I was in the nude…well, my neck was anyway.

Ever heard of Locks of Love? Wonderful-awesome company that makes vacuum seal hair pieces for children who have lost their hair due to disease. I’m sure a child in need will enjoy my hair much more than I was. Plus, I couldn’t imagine one of my daughters losing her hair and struggling with a disease like cancer. They are providing such a service, not only to the children, but to their parents who have to watch them endure disease. It gives them them back such an important part of their identity.

The pictures aren’t the greatest…but it is all I’ve got for now!
