I feel like a new woman!

I finally took the plunge and got almost 9 inches of hair cut off this past week.  While I was sitting in the chair at the salon I was thinking about how lucky we are as women to be able to reinvent ourselves with something as simple as a new haircut.  I am totally guilty of saying that I was going to do something drastic and when it would come down to it, I always chickened out.  Not this time...  (actually they cut the bulk of it off before I had time to change my mind.)  I was both excited and nervous to come home and show my husband.  I wasn't for sure what he would think.  I've pretty much had the same hairstyle for the 15 years that we have been together.  Would he like the new me or would he want the old me back?  I finally made it home.  I wish I could have taken a picture of Jack's face.  It was like he didn't recognize who had just walked in our house.  I think he was pleasantly surprised both at the hair and the fact that I actually did what I said I was going to do.  My new hair is spunky and even a little trendy... not two words that I would typically use when describing myself.  It's weird but my new hair has even made me feel a little more sassy.  We went to bed that night and Jack said he felt like he was getting to go to bed with a new woman.  I took this as a compliment from my husband of almost 10 years and told him that his old wife would show back up and not to get used to it.  :)

Will insert picture here soon...
