Pros and Cons of Cutting Your Hair

 I love my pony tail. But I'm cutting my hair because I've been wearing that pony tail so long, I think it will become self aware pretty soon. (And then it can love me back and we'll be best friends. "Sorry boys. Me and my bestie here are going to town for coffee." *hair flip*)
Honestly, I haven't  had my hair shorter then shoulder length since I was three. So while I love my long fluffy pony tail, I want to try different things.
So to deal with this big step, I decided to make a blog post about it!
....

Obviously, that was written BEFORE my lovely locks were chopped off. It went ok. My hair went from mid-shoulder length hair that I always wore in a pony tail to....this. It looks kind of like Rapunzel, after her hair cut. Not quite that short and its kind of....fluffy. Oops. I forgot how big my hair was. Anyway, ON WITH THE POST! (Because you really don't want to hear me whine about my hair.)


Pro:
The more hair you've got, the more time you have to spend brushing it, drying it, washing it, etc. If you have REALLY long hair, it can take HOURS to dry. What should you do with this extra time? This new found freedom? Read a book? WRITE a book? Learn something utterly useless and pointless like how to sing that one lullaby from Brave....in Gaelic. (WHY?)

Con:
That mini heart attack you get when you go to run your fingers through your hair and...it's not there. Or when you go to look in the mirror. Who is that person? Where did my hair go!?!  Oh, wait. That's right. I had it cut a couple days ago.
It seems like no matter how much you cut off, you miss it. You can even tell if you cut off an inch or two.

Pro:
Your shampoo and conditioner lasts longer. (Unless you have sisters. Then it will still disappears quickly)

Cons:
MY HAIR. MY BEAUTIFUL HAIR. I JUST LEFT IT LYING THERE ON THE SALON FLOOR. *Sobbing* (Yes, I'm a little attached. But maybe that is a good reason to cut it...)

Pro: I felt REALLY smug though when ever somebody came by and was just like "Whoa! That's a lot of hair!"

Con: You actually have to do something with it EVERY DAY (or at least everyday you leave the house, which for me, isn't all that often). You can't just throw it in a pony tail and go. And you have to do new things with your hair. (Because I'm lazy, I will probably end wearing a bandanna around my head like a biker all summer long...)

Pro: It's fun to get your hair cut in a salon.

Con: Sometime, it doesn't turn out like you expected....

Pro: It's an adventure!

Quick Note

A quick update on What Not To Do On Valentines Day


My sister wanted me to tell you all that, No. I have never done #3

Basically, the only things on this list I've done are #5 and #6.
Because that is what I do normally

Siblings

HELLO! It's me! The person who never blogs! Yay!

I should apologize for not blogging more often, but..........I'm not sorry

Ok, I'm a little sorry. I have been INSANELY busy, thank you very much!

Anyway, on with the post!

The month of January was supposed to be Holy Family themed. Ha ha.
There is still a little January left....

(Next month is February and out theme will be Future Spouses. So we will (hopefully) have all sorts of prayers and such.)

So I am posting on FAMILY! (Not the "Holy Family" kind. YOUR family kind)

Siblings.

WOW

They can be very annoying sometime. But sometimes they can be your best friend.

Here is a bit of advice. Your siblings will ALWAYS be there. You can't just move away or drift apart. (You can, I suppose..) This is your family. It would be MUCH better if when everyone is adults and you get together at your mum's house, if you aren't fighting or "not talking" to each other. Everyone has something in common. Get to know your siblings. Do things with them. When they are driving you craaaazy and your about to scream, stand up, quietly leave the room and do something. Put all that energy you were just going to use to hit your lil' brother with a 2x4 and go run. Or do Yoga. Or make cookies. The butter won't mind if you violently slam it onto the table.

Leave the house if you can. At least leave the room.

When your feeling better, go back and do things with them. Watch a movie (granted, your brothers might not like Pride and Prejudice, but still) play a board game, etc.

Make an effort to do things with your siblings once in awhile. I for one had more trouble bonding with my older siblings. If you are the older sibling, spend time with the younger ones. They most likely look up to you.

If you are the younger sibling, I suggest try NOT doing things that annoy your older siblings. If you know they hate it when you sing Let It Go at the top of your voice at 2 am, don't do that. If you aren't driving them crazy all the time, it will be easier to spend time with them!

Make spending time with family your new goal for 2017! Trust me, you'll be glad you did!
