Life's deep questions

Get ready for a really deep entry...

No, seriously...

Ok, not seriously, but here it is anyway! ;-)

Once again it is time to trim my hair, my pretty straight with not a ton of body hair. I've been growing it out, but only because I got tired of having to maintain an actual style. I did have this cute, flippy thing that I enjoyed for a couple of years. It sure was a heck of a lot of work, though. I mean, I had to get it trimmed at least every 2 months! Also, the stylist didn't seem to be able to cut it exactly the same every time, which freaked me out. Would I like this iteration or not?! Whew! Wore me out!

Listen, this is how un-style-conscious I am - I keep my bangs ridiculously short because they bug me if they touch my forehead too much, and I don't even want any layers in my now fairly long hair because then when I braid it, the layers' ends stick out of the braid like an unruly bundle of cornstalks.

So I made my way to Supercuts (my go-to place; why spend more than $15 when all they have to be able to do is cut a straight line?) and sat down in the chair. All around me are people with these cute haircuts. They all look so good! I on the other hand look a little silly with these short bangs (but which I actually like, even though they might look a little silly) and my long, straight hair. I question myself: Maybe I should go back to something cute and fun? Maybe I could learn to enjoy actually doing something with my hair? Maybe, maybe...

Nope. Same old thing. Maybe someday I'll do something creative again. Doubt it, but maybe.

And that is the extent of my ruminating for today. To style or not to style... To conform to the pressure to do all I can to look as good as I can, or to just go with the flow of what my personality dictates - easy and ubersimple... Hmmm, that all seems to have made me extremely tired, so I will end with this:

Nap time!

May you all have wonderful weeks, filled with love from family and friends, with sunshine and all the colors of fall, and joy every day of the week!

And just in case you need something to make you laugh out loud, here's what I looked like after 3 days in bed with the flu a couple months ago. Check out that hair!! Giggles to all of you!
