Holy Crap!!! After months of saying I was gonna do it, I cracked and made the phone call this morning! After all, today was the day of Donna Wolf's breast cancer benifit to raise money for her AND today was also the day that Derek's Aunt Joni went thru a 9 hour surgery to remove a cancerous tumor from her jaw.
Some back ground info (and to procrastinate the point of this post): Joni was going to need part of her jaw bone removed because of cancer that had settled under her molars. They were also removing the small bone from her leg to replace her missing jaw bone, and skin from her thigh was going to be removed to repair her leg and inside of her mouth. She will have a trach (for breathing) and a feeding tube for 3 weeks, and have to stay in the hospital for at least a week. But she came out of surgery ok, she probably have to do chemo and/or radiation. For now she will be recovering with all of us thinking of her. Donna had breast cancer a few months ago and they were able to remove the lump without taking everything. But is was pretty close to entering her lymph nodes so she had to do chemo and has to do radiation after the first of the year. The chemo made her hair fall out......
Which leads me to.....Yep, you guessed it....I cut my hair!!!
Almost 3 years ago, January 2005, I donated 17 inches to the Locks of Love Foundation and I still had hair down past my shoulders. Derek's little sister, Ali, also donated 10 inches on the same day.
So today, I figured that I should beat that and donate 20 inches!! Now my hair is super short. I told the stylist to cut it so it would still be about 2 inches below my shoulders, but she got a little trimming happy and it actually sits ON my shoulders. And for those of you that remember, probably only April, I haven't had my hair this short since, like, 7th grade, seriously. It's so weird!! Derek doesn't like it at all, it's too short for his liking. I wish it was a bit longer too, but I can't glue it back on?! Well....no nevermind! Anyway, cuz I'm sure you all are dying to see or you scrolled down already and are reading this after seeing the pictures (shame on you), here they are:

holy fucking shit, I can't believe it, why the hell didn't you warn me you bitch! I almost had a freakin heart attack... I almost CRIED, I almost FAINTED!
I'm still in shock. I can see why ou would want to cut your hair, but why SO MUCH!!!!!
DEEP BREATHES..... OMG>
it does look really cute though, by the way.
I think it turned out nice. I'm getting my haircut soon, too! But my hair doesn't go down that far, and I'm not donating any of it...so I guess it's not as interesting...
Sorry for the shocker! I didn't really tell anyone I was doing it. Only Derek and Lisa-my boss.
But, SURPRISE!!!! It looks better than the pictures, they aren't the best.
That's okay Doug, I'm sure you could make it an interesting story?! It's good to cut your hair every now and then anyway.
I like your hair cut its somthing new. it will take a lot to get use to but it looks good on you. and plus you did a good thing with it. I remember after aprils wedding when she cut hers.
