New 'do

This site should now be called "R.I.P" due to lack of activity, but there is a detectable pulse in Bedlam - we have news! (News that doesn't involve cutting edge potty training techniques that fail 9 times out of 10) I underwent an arduous makeover! Arduos because it involved me letting go of a 10 year commitment to A-line hair. I've had the same hair for nearly a decade. All one length; part 10 degrees west of cranial midline; laying down flat as any good, neglected, air dried, un-brushed hair would. And if I ever skipped washing my hair for a day, I'd get all sorts of compliments like "Your hair looks great today - it has so much volume!". Really it was just bedhead, but I guess this was a step up from air dried and un-brushed.
Now I've lost 5 inches, (wish it was in my mid-section) have layers, a spring in my follicles and a renewed spirit.
Only now I have a problem. I have to go shopping. This hairstyle is modern, dare I say moderately stylish, so now I have to purchase modern clothes and lip gloss. Now instead of not thinking about my hair or clothes when I wake up, I'm going to have to fire up the curling iron, scavenge for hair products and find appropriate earings for mid-length hair.

This presents a host of problems for me in terms of time management as I'm barely able to manage outfits and matching socks for my offspring. Now that I think of it, they will probably need new hairstyles too, so that we will all match. Until now, we were all rocking the unkempt look rather well.

I'll need to contact my lifeline on the East Side of Somewhere for emotional support as I transtion into my new role as style maven...
