Just Shoot Me Now

by Kay~Kacey on 6/30/2008

For some reason…known only by, heck, I don’t know who…I decided to grow my hair out. I’m used to wearing it really short, and, well, perky. You can see a pic of it here on my about me page. :mrgreen: Go ahead and look, I’ll wait.

Okay, you back?

Really, am I just crazy or what? My hair is in that horrible stage now. Not short, not long. Not long enough to pull back. Kind of bangs, kind of not. Really, if you want to shoot me and put me out of my misery, that’d be great. WHY did I decide to grow it out? :wallbash:

The front is wonky. The bangs are too long to hang down, too short to push back. And for some reason, there is no body to the front of my hair. Well, and yes, thank you so much for mentioning it, you CAN see more gray hair when it’s grown out longer. The above shot is without spending hours on gel and curling irons. Just your basic push it behind my ears (so it doesn’t stick out at a REALLY funky length in front of my ears!) I can get some height/style to the front when I really work on it.

Okay, I’m loving the back though. Kind of flippy, kind of curly. This is doing nothing but air dry and fluffing. I’m into easy. Love the back.

But of course most people see me from the front…

While we’re discussing all this, let’s talk about how hard it was for me to get these photos to show you. The things I do for you!

oops

Angling the camera to catch the back of my hair in the mirror was NOT an easy task. I made a few errors in judgment.

almost got it

Almost got it here. (as an aside, I adore Life is Good tshirts. Love them. Have a collection of them. And a coffee mug. Which I don’t like ’cause it’s really thick and hard to drink out of. But cute. And cute is important in my frustrated growing-out-my-hair life.)

not my hair

Where was I? Oh, this isn’t my hair either… 🙄

So how about showing me some support here. Tell me my hair WILL grow out. Give me some suggestions. My friend suggested drying my hair upside down. My haircut person has SWORN she won’t cut my hair until I give it 6 more months to grow out. (she’s been trimming it up as it grows though). So, should I bribe her and cut it back short? Or stick it out awhile longer? If I can. I’m not sure I’m that strong…

(don’t foget. Tonight at midnight, CST is the deadline to send me a link to your June Photo of the Month. Info here.)

He’s Growing Up!

by Kay~Kacey on 6/28/2008

No, I’m not talking about one of my boys.

Well, and I don’t have my babies that I want. But look at last year’s baby! He’s growing up!

Do you see what I see?

(Do you see what I see? Do you see what I see? A star, a star, dancing in the night…whoops! I digressed. Bet you’ll have that song stuck in your head now! :rofl: )

Anyway, back to my post…

NOW do you see it??

my baby has antlers

Last year’s baby deer is growing antlers!! I get all misty eyed just thinking about it… Sigh. He’s growing up. Soon he’ll look just like his dad.
