My New Hair. & Misc pics.

[jedishampoo]

I had a PMS-related "self-image" emergency last week. So I finally booked a hair appointment and had my hair chopped and colored and wheee, I needed it. It's a little shorter than I'm used to, but my hair grows so quickly I won't feel bald for long. :)

I asked for chop-chop-get-rid-of-it, an undercolor with red tints, and chunky blonde highlights. Here is what I got!



Here's my new hairdo after my hairdresser styled it (please excuse the office lighting, eeeek! It's so unflattering):




Here I am with re-washed and unstyled hair, with a tree growing out of my head thanks to Mom, woe. But the picture was taken in natural light, which I feel so much better about. :)



Here's my hair on New Year's Eve for comparison (I'm with my lovely lifelong friend Becky at her boyfriend's farmhouse):




And just for randommness, here are some pics I took around our yard during our ice storm a couple weeks back. Look at our poor bird-feeder! We couldn't open it for days.










In other news, I'm almost done with Cryoburn. I'm taking my time with it, in an attempt to not read ::spoiler:: that I already know happens. Woe!

Love the new hair! The highlights are really flattering. Man, I'm jealous that your hair gets so long so quickly :)

Looking good! I like the new length; it compliments your face much better than the longer 'do.

Eek, ice! I think it's ruined one of our bushes out front and a small tree on the slope out back. Speaking of trees, other than taking pictures of you with one growing out of the top of your head, how's your mom?

I assume Cryoburn is a manga of some sort. If you did, it flew right over my head.

cute hair! I love the highlights. so pretty.

[jedishampoo.livejournal.com]

I actually wish it grew a teensy bit more slowly. 'Cause then my roots wouldn't show instantly. :)

Thank you, baby! ::hugs::

Thank you very much! ♥

Somehow stuff around here survives. lilacs love a good ice storm. And the daffodils are poking up out of the ground at last.

Cryoburn is the latest in the Vorkosigan series of books, written by Lois McMaster Bujold. I'd call it "character-driven scifi space opera of manners." I've read them all multiple times, and I love the characters so much-- it was a nice surprise to have a new one in the series, since she'd seemed to move on to other books. But I heard about a spoilerific item in this book that I DON'T want to encounter. really.

Oh, and mom is good, thank you! ::hugs:: She has another chemo treatment on Monday, but she seems to bounce back from those after a day or so. She only has a month or so to go before she's done!

I knew it sounded familiar! I have heard of Lois McMaster Bujold's series, actually, but I'd forgotten the name.

*blink* Your face is really familiar. I bet you get that a lot, but it seriously is.

And the highlights look very nice! It's nifty to see what you look like. *nod nod*

The hair and cut look fantastic my dear! I love it!!

Honey, the new hair is CUUUUUUUTE! I mean, super CUUUUTE! The length and highlights really flatter the shape of your face! Clearly, I need a PMS-related self image emergency myself. :::sigh:::

Nice hair ♥ Yay for the haidressing therapy!

It seems like you had the same thing that we had about 12 years ago. Back then all the trees were covered with a thin layer of ice. And that's not a good thing, a lot of them broke because the additional weight was to heavy for them. And lookie, you have no snow on the second photo :D

[clytemnaestra.livejournal.com]

That's true - roots are seriously annoying when they show!

:)

[rroselavy.livejournal.com]

Oh, you look lovely! (And so does your hair :-D)

[minidrag33.livejournal.com]

New hair cut looks cute!

[athena8.livejournal.com]

Helloooo gorgeous! ♥ Love the new hair!

[eliz.livejournal.com]

Awesome! I love the cut and the color! :)

[inksheddings.livejournal.com]

Your hair looks great! I think the length suits you wonderfully. ♥

[jedishampoo.livejournal.com]

Thank you! Man, if I could have any hair, it would be like the chick in your icon. The Orion chick.

[jedishampoo.livejournal.com]

Heh, I seriously don't get that! Though I have an opposite number named "Kelly" out there, somewhere. People used to walk up to me in college all the time and go "hey, Kelly!"

Thank you! ♥

(Edited for spelling fail.)

Thank you, sweets! ::hugs::

[cyndisuesue.livejournal.com]

I love it -you sexy thing! Very flattering , both in length and color chunks.

Enjoy it while it is easy! :) (My hair grows too fast too!)

[jedihealer.livejournal.com]

I love the new do! Yes, this winter has been tough for many of us.

[despina-moon.livejournal.com]

Awesome hair! (Sorry I'm so late.)

[jedishampoo.livejournal.com]

Oh, there's nothing like PMS to send me off on a beautifying spree, heh.

And thank you, dear! ::hugs::

I remember ice storms around here when I was young, but haven't lived through one since I moved to the desert 8 years ago. And yup, there were tree-branches everywhere (except our yard; as you can see, the tree growing from my head has been denuded by men with saws).

And you are right-- the snow is gone, at least. Yay!

::hugs:: Thankya!
