Absolutes are never true.

I learned in college that when life hits crisis mode, it's time to change the hair.

I started my freshman year with waist length hair and ended up bobbing the whole thing shortly after my year began.

Several times since I have chopped my hair to cope with life's changes or to waken myself to something new. (Notice I've never dyed it or permed it - quite frankly I'm a little too vain to want to damage it to the extent that would be required to change my dark, dark, DARK brown color and I've done the perming thing; it is so not attractive on me!)

However, perming and dying aside, I have currently made a vow to let my locks grow as a gift to my hubby (who continually bemoans the loss of my long tresses). So right now, what's a girl to do?

Blog makeover.

Oh, whoops. That should be said with lots of exclamation marks.

BLOG MAKEOVER!!!! (Imagine some hearts, girls shrieking and giggling as well.)

Not nearly as effective in creating a life change but good for an evening's distraction and a smile on my face!

And unlike hair, I can do this nightly without any long term effects.
