Hair

I have hair issues. One, I don't like loose hair...especially animal hair. It makes me gag, literally. But the real issues is growing it out. I thought maybe I should attempt considering I have worn it the same pretty much for the past 12 years. Sounds scary now that I just watched myself type that...eek. I love short hair and feel that it suits me well but I'm feeling bored. In my attempt, I have made it ALMOST to my shoulders.
Today for church (since we don't meet until 1:00pm) I tried to do some curls. This is one of the greatest disadvantages of having seven brothers. I cannot do hair. My attempts were rough and gave up before I ever made it to the back. I'm sure it looked freakish but I had no idea what I was doing. Hence, I guess the reason for short hair. Much easier. Tipton said, "Mom you hair looks crazy!" Liam says," You don't even look like our mom." The catch, Jarom liked it and almost in his eyes begged that I would stay patient and not whack it off. He liked the curls.
I trust my children because they would never lie to me about this kind of thing, but Jarom never comments on ANYTHING I do. This has to be considered.
At church, I was flooded with compliments. It made me feel great. It also made me think was I looking that bad? Or did it look that bad that they didn't know what else to say but lie? I'm sure I'm reading too much into this.
Somehow in the end. I like the change. Didn't look too bad and if Jarom spoke well, then I keep at it a little longer.

Ok. Seriously. You ARE reading into things waaaay to much. You looked great! I can tell you this about myself. I don't lie. I don't go out of my way to tell someone they look nice if it isn't true. Not because I am rude or inconsiderate,I just lie really bad! I am always afraid people are gonna see right through me! So I opt to not say anything at all. So the fact is.....You looked really good with curls. And I think you would look really good with long hair also! So there. The truth. :)
