I had hoped to have this sudden burst of taking care of myself be a surprise to my husband when he returns from his trip to Boston....but sorry, honey....my blog-readin' peeps gotta know! As you may have read (what? you didn't? you aren't reading my blog daily? You haven't subscribed in a reader? - shame!) that I wanted to get my hair cut and colored this week. Well guess what?! I did it! Thanks to Stacy and my Mom for pinch-hitting for me with the kids. Man it feels great to take care of myself like that!

Anyway - I've tried to take pictures of it for you...but do you have any idea how hard it is to take pictures of yourself in a mirror? I was trying to get good shots of the hair - so please disregard any messes you might see in the background, any unflattering views of upper arms, etc. It's about the HAIR people.

I think I'm going to like the cut - I can tuck it, pin part of it back, wear it all down, cover up the little bangs, allow just the little bangs...versatile...and I like that. The color I love. It isn't Aveda (my fave)...but it didn't cost Aveda either...so there. Anything was better than blah natural color I had goin' on.

Here it is:
