Month: February 2003

The haircut is growing on me – now that I’m not wondering “who is that?” every time I see myself in the mirror. It wasn’t that bad to style this morning (I was afraid the “flippies” would be a pain) and when I got to the office almost everyone said they liked it – even one of my male attorneys! Yes, he gets brownie points for not only noticing that I got my hair cut and colored, but they were doubled for saying that it looks nice! (No spork for him!)

I snapped photos last night, but I was too tired to even get them off of the camera, so I’ll post them tonight.

I went to get my hair cut today. Well, first it was just going to be a cut. An inch or so, shape it a little better than it is. But it was just too dark (even after I lightened it a few weeks ago) so I decided I needed highlights too. As he did the highlights, I flipped through the hair magazine and pointed out all of the “flippy cuts” that I really like. I finally picked one that was a bob but with flippy ends. I said I wanted it like that, just longer – closer to shoulder length.

The highlights turned out great.

The cut on the other hand … it’s more of a “shag” than a “bob”, with a flippy end section about an inch longer than the rest. It could be fixed by cutting that off to even it up – but then the whole thing would be close to chin length – not shoulder length like I wanted. In other words, it’s already an inch or more too short.

No, I probably won’t be posting pictures of it tonight. Maybe tomorrow – first I have to get used to it. It’s a good cut, but I’ve lost about 5″ of hair. Fortunately my hair grows fast, so getting back 2 or 3 of those inches shouldn’t take too long. But for now, I feel sort of scalped. Sure, it’s what I asked for – well, close to it. But I keep thinking I should have just gone with the original plan of cutting off an inch or two – not this! Oh well … it’s hair. It grows – and the color looks great!

In honor of the new job, I just had to share a recent blog find: Ernie the Attorney has great content with a legal spin. Things that affect us all like file sharing, wireless keyboards and more. Plus links to more legal type sites! (Yes, I am very excited about this!)
