So I got a new haircut, and it is exactly what I wanted, a no-do-do. What I mean by that is that this haircut looks exactly the same when I roll out of bed in the morning as it does after I've showered. I don't dry, curl or agonize any more. No product, no hassle. In fact, I'm going to carry my curling iron right out to the alley as soon as I sign off (yeah)!
I'm a little embarrassed to post this, but I need to hear from my dear girlfriends, because my hubby has been less-than-enthusiastic about the new do. In fact, when I came through the door with it, he simply said, "Oh."
At that point I was feeling a little delicate, as if I'd made some kind of cosmic error by chopping my hair. On the long walk to the train, I kept peeking in every store window on Michigan Ave hoping to catch my reflection. Maya and Anna finally said, "What are you doing?"
When I got home I called my mom for advice. She said, "Just be with it and see what you think in a few days." I must say that it is delightful to have one less to do on on my list each day.
P.S. I took the photo myself. Amber is training me into the fine art of self-portraiture.

I already told you I liked it, and if it means no hassle for you -- great! I like the back especially.
I also like how you look just like Anna from the previous post.
oh, you know I love the cut! And the photo is lovely too. Futhermore, I'm taking this opportunity to broadcast my opinion that your hair looks better a bit dirty. I know that's not the most popular position, but you look more like Lady Di when your hair is "weathered". Hmmmmmmm?
Hey Lucy and Tanya,
Thanks for your kind words!

I love your hair! And I love that you took your curling iron to the alley--what a Jenny-like gesture. The hair is cut, the curling iron is out of your life.
I'm returning to Chicago at about 2 in the morning on Tuesday, so I'll call you on Tuesday or Wednesday.

You don't know how much jealousy people with straight hair can incite in people like me. I wish I could chop mine that short, but I'd look like Krusty the Klown.
That's all to say I like your new haircut.
