Oh Crap! – Musings of an Unperfect Mommy

Cha-cha-cha-changes!

March 17, 2011

So, this has been of week of changes for us.

First off I want to say that the changes in Japan are devastating and leave me so sad – my prayers are with them all!

Secondly, we had that nasty thing called Daylight Savings Time return – blech. I wish they would just leave it alone and go back to standard time year round. It took me four days to feel normal again!! Four days that zipped by in a blur. Four days of interrupted sleep. Last night was my first night of good sleep, getting up on time this morning, and starting everything I needed to do on time today. I feel like I had a normal day again!

Lastly, Jeff and I took this time during his spring break to go to the hair salon and get our hair cut. No, not a trim – a CUT – as in lots of hair coming off. Both of us. Jeff had grown tired of his long hair and wanted to get back to his old shorty short style. I had also grown tired of my hair, and needed a style consistent with my age and personality. I should have taken a lot of pictures at the salon (the amount of hair that fell was incredible), but at least I did take before and after pictures so see what you think!

First off - I'm willingly getting a picture taken of myself. That is a huge thing for me as my family (kids and siblings) will tell you.

And here's Jeff with his mop - just about as long as mine.

Now, drum roll please, time for the transformation photos!!

Yep, that's me!! It is a great style and I feel it reflects my personality so much more!

Here's a side view - I just love my new do!! BTW, yes that is my real hair color.

And here's Jeff!! The difference is incredible!!

Our hairstylist did a fantastic job and we will be going back to her so I hope she stays where she is (or if she moves, lets us know where). I feel like I finally have a stylist again after many long years of trying to find one who listens to me and cares about my hair.

So, let me know what you think – dramatic, no?!

What a transformation! You look so sophisticated! Reminds me of the people on "What Not to Wear".

It's weird watching your parents get old...
At least Jeff looks like a human again.

Wait until you are "old" - you'll think it's even weirder.
