It's Just Hair...

...Right?!

Well...I have always felt that way. But, y'all. I have been grieving over cutting off all my hair earlier this year. You might remember what I did from this post HERE and also from my friend, Sarah's post HERE. Two of my best friends, Nikki and Sammi have donated their beautiful, long hair to Locks of Love before and I remember feeling a little jealous that they had the guts to do it. I finally found my inner guts and chopped it off. I sent it off all 10 inches and helped make a wig for a kid. Which, by the way, it takes at least 7 donations {of at least 10 inches of hair} to make ONE wig for a kid. Wow. I would have to donate my hurr 7 times to make just one wig. And I've got a lot of hair!

I know that I did a good thing and it made my heart grow three sizes that day...

But, I'm a Grinch about it lately. I can't regret that decision...right? That would make me a bad and bitter person. I can just miss my hair and patiently wait for it to grow back...

I miss being able to curl my hair and to put it up in a pony tail. I miss being able to get it to lay straight for goodness sakes {I have quite a bit of volume and wave}!

R.I.P. Pony Tail. R.I.P.

BYE BYE LONG HAIR!

I did it! I cut off 10 whoppin' inches off of my hair. I was so scurred. I asked Sarah and Erica to go with me as support. Being the wonderful friends that they are, they of course came along with me. Here's the whole experience in photos. P.S. I LOVE the new do. I may never go back to long hair again. :)

And here are my supportive friends. They enjoyed playing with the ponytail. :) Love them both so much.

My Last Night With Long Hair

So, tomorrow is the BIG day. I have an appointment with the wonderful Heather at Tanglez. I am going to go through with it and cut my hair. Tonight was an impromptu girls night. In my head (cause it's all about me, afterall, right?!), it was "Ashley's last night with long hair outting".

Sarah, Erica and I went to Double Dogs, had a few drinks. Vodka tonic for me. Beer is too many points for weight watchers. :(  We talked and had a great time. Conversations with these ladies are never boring and there is nothing off limits. Just a small list of topics included: poop (of course), shrimp, boys, hair, weaves, blogging, and other girls. That's a SMALL taste. We also did a little people watching and laughed at others. Example:

No idea what the front of this shirt says and quite frankly, I don't care. What a great last night with long hair. I'll post more tomorrow after the big appointment!

Big Decisions...

I need some advice, friends. I wanna get my hair cut, but not sure how short. I started thinking...if I cut it, maybe I should just go ahead and cut off 10 inches and donate it to Locks of Love. It scares the crap outta me, though. I'm getting a little tired of the long hair, but have in a way become strangely attached to it. So, blog friends, tell me what you think. Comment and give me your two cents. I need some encouragement (and maybe some mimosas) for Saturday morning. 


I had my lil school friends measure and take pictures of my hair, so that I could look at it and decide. 

So, there it is. The whole 10 inches. What do you think?!
