OK -- I finally got my hair cut! I was just pregnant the last time I got it cut, so that is about a year ago..... It was getting just way too long. I thought about all the possible Jeff Foxworthy-type comments... "You know your hair is getting too long when .... " (you mistakenly tuck it in your pants instead of your shirt tail, you get it caught on door handles, you look up and wonder who just brushed against your "bum", you have to change your arm position to finish braiding it, etc.). I found a group that I will be donating it to (http://www.beautifullengths.com/en_US/wigshelpingwomen.jsp) instead of Locks of Love. They need about six ponytail donations to make their wigs (compared with 20-30 for wigsforkids.org and 6-10 for Locks of Love). Their wigs go to women fighting cancer who have hair loss. Part of me feels a connection to these women based on my grandmother's leukemia and D's Gma's former breast cancer. I also want to give it to a group that doesn't do just children's wigs.....
Enjoy these pictures.... before, during, and after.....
Oh -- funny...... Mom told our hairdresser that I might cry. Yeah -- whatever!!!! I mean, it is a little sad to think about since it is pretty much one of the last three things I have from the pregnancy. The other two are the scar and P himself! I have this sneaking suspicion that I don't need the hair to remind me of either of those! Still, I am glad that I can give this to a group that will use it.... It's REALLY healthier than I even realized it was. It feels good to me to run my fingers through it, so I can only imagine what someone who has lost their hair will feel about it when they can do the same.
