Despite having just crossed the longer-is-softer rubicon, I'd be a hypocrite if I said that short isn't great. More than half my life I was all pixie all the time.

However, that cut is super cute and would be really easy to maintain.

Might be worth the gamble, is all I'm saying.

Get it, GC!!!

That kid's hair is pretty fabulous. I've never been bold enough to go for a pixie, but when they work, they're great. It might be worth it! It grows back, after all.

I got my hair cut this past Saturday, and my curly hair has turned my short cut into Molly Ringwald's bob. I hate having my hair stick out at the side. I'm too cheap and lazy to go back to the salon, but I have scissors and a mirror and curly hair that is excellent at hiding things.

My millenial queen informed me that it is pretty hipster. LOLOLOLOL

The stylists at my friend's salon do some gooooorgeous short cuts (including my own super short pixie although there's no picture of me on their instagram page yet) [link]

Thanks for sharing, lisah! Your cut is so SUGAR!!!!!!

Mwah!! Thank you!

ltc says pirate now whenever she sees a skull or skull and crossbones. I'm very proud.

As you should be, sj.

I'm having some major free floating anxiety today. No clue what has me wound so tight. I even took some Lorazepam at work, which is not something I do lightly and it hasn't touched it. I don't even dare consider even a half more though. I hate this.

Last night was a good night though. I had my Salt Lake PM take the team out for Persian dinner. When we got there, we were the only diners in the place - I had been there before, so I knew the food was good. Everyone was asking me what to order and how I knew so much. The waitress complimented my suggestions and knowledge which was very nice. We ended up ordering a mix of dishes and shared everything. While we were eating and talking about the food and NoRouz, the family of the owners gathered for their meal and at one point the "mama" came to our table and asked how I knew so much. I explained my heritage and showed her pictures from my party. She said I did my family proud. Before we left, she handed me a small take out box of food that she had prepped for her family. It wasn't a dish I was familiar with, but I thanked her and wished her a good new year. I tried it at the hotel and it was quite tasty - now to figure out what it was.

Actually, now that I've written that out, I think at least some of this anxiety is related to me missing my mom and wishing she were still alive. Cause now I'm near to tears at the thought.
