Chop chop

I cut my hair this week!  I know, can you even believe it.  Like, umm, 8 inches maybe.  Here’s me now:

I know.  It’s more fun to walk around like, hey what’s up?  And everybody’s all like, “Eeek, your hair!!!”  and I totally just ruined it.  But I’m not a huge fan of surprises.

Reasons to cut your hair drastically, by Amy G:

1.  Why not?  It makes life interesting.

There are no more reasons. 

Okay, there are a couple of reasons.  Like, Wayne and I are going on a camping trip and I thought that dealing with my stringy, dirty hair for five days wouldn’t be all that fun.  Like, I have resolved to go to the beach this summer, regularly and often, and I wanted hair that would be clean, fresh, easy.  Like, doing all that hair stuff in the morning was getting to be a real drag and I wanted to have the sweet sweet freedom of skipping it.  But ultimately?  Everyone has to get their hair cut eventually.  Why not get it cut?

And so now here I feast on a frozen Trader Joe’s chicken pot pie and a guava flavored Jarritos (the pink one)(the only good one, in my opinion) while my cat is sleeping (a rare treat)(usually she’s all like “love me; I’m nothing without you”) and I’m about to do some more work on the ol’ novel for Writer’s Group tomorrow.  First Writer’s Group in like 4 weeks! 

You know how they (magazines mostly) say that to change a habit you have to talk incessantly about it?  Like, the more you say it the more real it becomes and the more other people will ask you about it and hold you accountable?  I say that’s stupid.  I find personally that when I talk incessantly about something I get really sick of it and then decide not to do it after all.   So when I get all “I’m going to write/blog/play guitar/sew/cook/do yoga/feed the fish more,” then suddenly a little baby whiney Amy voice in my head goes, “nahhhh” and I just don’t do that thing.  Where am I going with this?

Oh yeah.  I am not going to try to update my blog more.  But shhhh!  Actually I am.

And our fish is FINE… he’s like 3 lbs and has enough stored fish fat to last weeks without being fed.  I’m totally confident in this.
