Well, some lucky child is going to have 15 inches of my hair because today I did a little chopping. This will be my third time donating to Locks of Love. It feels so good!
I love how every time I chop off my hair, there's always someone in the salon watching because they're waiting for their hair to dry, color to set in, etc. They always make some comment. Today, a lady said, "You are one brave soul." I was thinking the same thing as Maureen said, "Okay, ya ready?" as the snip snip snipping of her scissors went across my hair. "It's okay," I thought. "I've done this before and it'll grow out." When I got in my car after the appointment, I just looked in the mirror and stared. Then I kinda whimpered/cried out loud. My hair is gone!! Ah! But it's okay. It's completely worth it for a child who has leukemia or any other disease that prevents them from growing their own hair.
Before and after. It's gonna take some getting used to, but I love how light and healthy my hair feels now. Another great thing... this prevents me from getting married. I want long hair when I get married, so this gives me at least 3 years. ;)
Whoppin' 15 inches!
This is the first time since I think my first year of life that my hair is now shorter than my mother's. Weird... mark this momentous moment in your book of world records.
