The new me

A quick post, because Judybat is still gone, and I've been dealing with TheBoy for the past 14 hours, and all I really want to do in the 90 more minutes I'll be awake is play "The Sims" and eat leftover Halloween candy . . .

I cut off my hair. Or rather, a nice lady named Jessica cut it off. Not quite all of it, but certainly enough to qualify as a radical transformation. I was going for something fairly hip and sophisticated that would make all the baby lesbians at our local independent coffee shop swoon. Which means I wasn't pleased when a friend greeted me with, "You got a mommy haircut!" It's the thought that counts, though.

I realized, after the fact, that cutting my hair short was a sign that I'm feeling pretty self-confident these days. Long hair hides me. But we all have our own individual hair things: I was talking with lissajeen about the whole hair issue, and she explained that she grows her hair long when she's feeling confident. It's kind of reassuring to know that we're all insane in our own unique ways. Celebrate diversity, etc.

And now to my Sims.
