Women With Short Hair

[Juniper]

Warning: I am going to post something personal and it might get whiny. So stop reading now if personal and whiny offends you.

I am 41. This does not bother me, necessarily, so I'm not gonna hide it. But see, I had been growing my hair long because my hubby liked it and I thought it made me look good. Really, my hair is rather on the bushy side and curls exactly the wrong way. Unless it's freshly trimmed, it always looks unkempt and ratty. I'm not very good at styling it, or maybe I just don't like taking much time to do it. So I thought it might be time to chop it off and enjoy a nice simple, elegant short 'do.

I tried all weekend to get hubby to take a good photo of me, he refused. Because he HATES it. This is the best I've got, a somewhat blurry snapshot my daughter took of me and my son:



I like it. It's sort of...well, elfin! I'm short. Maybe I'm not the prettiest little elf, but I like my hair this way. I think I'll get some highlights, maybe just run my fingers through it with some Sun-In. With a little gel, damn it's cute!

Well, he came home on Thurs. after I got it cut and started making comments about how he was now married to a BOY. 'Scuse me? I did not get a breast reduction too. He says he was only teasing but ever since then he's been treating me like I'm leftover meatloaf.

I am pissed off.

I am REALLY pissed off.

Thanks for listening to me vent!
