you want to do WHAT???

so the most shocking event of the month for me was when my daughter came to me asking if she get her hair cut.

doesn't seem to be a very "shocking" thing to ask... most people do this often as a regular thing.

not my daughter!

usually things go a bit like this:

Mom: i think we need to go get a trim

T: NO....i'm NOT cutting my hair SHORT!

Mom: i didn't say CUT it SHORT...i said it needs a TRIM

T: NO!

Mom: you have to at least trim the ends to keep it healthy looking

T: (hanging her head and mumbling) i know... i know

literally... fighting it every step of the way...just for a TRIM!

so i was utterly and completely shocked when she randomly came to me asking to chop all her hair off. hair that she has been adamant about NOT cutting for years!! there was no friend who had recently cut their hair, no celebrity with short hair, no boy to try and impress (thank god!)...i was digging for anything to find out WHY!

her reply: i just want short hair... i feel like a change!

change is good. :)

and she LOVES her hair! (i admit, i feared her leaving the hair salon with tears... i know how much i adored and loved my own long, long hair growing up....)

she was giddy...the biggest smile i've seen on her face...

and so here is a before
and the after!

busy bee....collecting pollen!

seriously....felt like i didn't even participate in March and i blinked and it's almost May!!!

what the heck?

still awaiting an upload from miss Aimes to get the pics from Kathy's wedding (trip to FL in March) to share...

really, just feel like i've been running circles.will come up with clever post and updates later this week... just returning from a mini-get-a-way and need to unpack, re-stock the fridge and get some laundry done (which would go faster if we hadn't returned to a broken dryer!)

although it's quite the blustery day here... i would line dry if... HA HA HA, okay let's be honest, i wouldn't line dry even if i had a clothes line... i need my dryer back!
