Locks of Love

I have been thinking about how I need a new hair style for a looong time now. I have had long curly hair for the majority of my life and it suited me fine. But here recently I just felt like I was in a hair rut. I needed to do something. But I didn't know what I needed to do about it. I kept telling my stylist one of these days were going to cut it all off!! And she would laugh and say sure Mrs. Farmer. My stylist is my 1st cousin and I'm fairly close to her. So she knew I was always going to stay with my long locks just like all the women on our side of the family have. She is almost 40 and has the most amazing dark brown hair that is almost to her waist. She will usually wear in a braid and its like movie style princess hair. And then a couple weeks ago I got to thinking my hair is getting too heavy and its long and I can't do anything with it. I need to do something. But I just kept holding off. Then I was reading the blogs on my blogroll and saw this:please read


After reading it I felt so amazed at this little girl who gave so much. And I have been on this earth 20+ years more then she and I never have been this selfless. So I was going to do something I should have done many times over in the last several years of my life but never did.

I was going to give my hair to someone who could use it. Instead of letting it go into the wastebasket. I talked it over with Hubbs about a week ago. Then called the salon were my beautiful cousin works and she wasn't working. I then called everyday for about 4 days. And then one of her co workers finally said she won't be here till Friday. I was beginning to worry that maybe since she hadn't been working this week that maybe its a sign. But I wouldn't let myself think that way! I was going to cut my hair by George!!! I walked in Friday night and told her what I wanted and she about flipped out!! She didn't want to cut it. She was actually starting to make me get scared that I would look bad with short hair. She just kept saying I don't think you want to do this. This is going to be a lot of hair!! Its going to be shorter then anything you have had in ages. And I said yes its time to do it. She was so apprehensive but she was just looking out for me. She truly was worried about me. But I said just do it!! I don't care how short its going to be. Just do it!!! I had decided not to tell a soul until it was done. Farmer knew but I didn't want anyone else knowing cause I was worried I would chicken out at the last minute. But I didn't and its done now and its SOOOO short!!! But I really love it. I feel so different. I can't believe its me when I look in the mirror!!!

I think I needed this for Thursday. I feel like I'm starting anew. Who knows what I'll do next?!!





Yes I know there is a shadow but I don't have photoshop and I don't have the patience to sit in front of the camera all morning.
