I love the start of the month. It’s like taking an eraser to a whiteboard – the residual marker dust is still there, but you essentially get to start clean. Last month was a difficult one for me (with some AMAZING things were sprinkled in!), but it made me have to pause and reevaluate things for better and worse. Since most of my readers are friends of mine, you no doubt know what I’m referring to, but for everyone else let me offer you this: if you have any doubts about a direction you’re going in life, it is so beneficial to PAUSE, re-evaluate some things, and make a new plan. Sometimes this pause is momentarily and I’m talking like ten seconds. Sometimes it can linger a little longer. Unfortunately, I’m in the little longer stage so I appreciate your kindness, patience, and support.

Anyway – maybe because of this new chapter (but mainly because I’m short, it’s getting ridiculously hot outside, and I’m sick of seeing long disgusting strands of hair in the shower), I’m cutting my hair. I think it’s the longest I’ve ever had it in my life, and truthfully it’s been awesome! My hair styling as of late has been shower, shampoo, apply product, and out the door I go (rinse, repeat). Cutting my hair is kind of a big deal to me. My darling dad has always been anti short hair – and anything shorter than grazing your backside he considers short (which is funny because my mom whom he loves dearly has NEVER had long hair!) I guess the marvelous thing about hair is it always grows back (and especially mine!), so I’m excited for the change!
Hopefully this entry marks my return to the blogosphere. And I promise, not all posts will be this personal! Have a lovely Wednesday and Happy June!
I had my short hair epiphany last month and its seriously the most amazing thing - even though it requires waking up 30 minutes earlier than normal to style. And for some odd reason, I totally never thought of a new month being a new slate - but I am now. Time to get finances, eating, exercise, and my emotions into control. No June gloom for this chick! (btw - I miss you and we should hang out)

What is it with fathers and long hair?! Back in October I cut my hair so short, shortest it has ever been. Barely got passed by chin and my father refused to talk to me for days. Granted he had also learned I was planning on moving out soon but still. Hes in the same boat as your dad. My mother has never had long hair while with him, yet he must have his daughters have long hair.
