I was going to post a mysterious "lone shorn ponytail" post but I didn't have time.
(I wanted to be like Hannah, is that so wrong?)
After many months of hating these long and gnarly locks, and the amount of time it takes to shampoo hair that's just going to go in a ponytail because who really has time for blow dryers?, I called my friend Jessica in desperation before we left for Boston. "Jessica," I said, "I am desperate. Please cut my hair! I need it gone!" She had to work until 9 on Friday, but was kind enough to oblige, so despite the fact that we had to get up the next morning at 4:30 to get to the airport, the fam and I packed up and headed over to Sterling and Jessica's at 9:30 p.m. on Friday night to say goodbye to my hair.
The last time I cut my hair short was right after my wedding--over three years ago! This is a long time for me. My hair hadn't been this long since I was 10.
(Note the permanent ponytail crease.)
I am happy to say that for once, I am having no regrets and I do NOT miss it.
Theo slept peacefully in Sterling's "study" the whole time.
I don't even think he misses pulling my hair. I sure don't.
Now I am officially guilty of all three Big Chops: the Big Chop after Arriving at College (check), the Big Chop after the Wedding (check), and the Big Chop after the First New Baby (check). There might be more traditional Big Chops that I am unaware of. I'm sure I'll find out.
Thanks, Jessica!

I love love love it! You're so cute, you could get away with any hair style, but I am partial to short hair on most everyone. I'm in the same boat right now. Perma ponytail, but not sure I want to chop it off. You've given me some inspiration. Theo is adorable, BTW.
The new short "do" is very cute. I am embarrassed to say that when we picked them up at the airport in Providence R.I., it took me several minutest to notice the change.
Guess I was too busy being excited to see Theo!!
I've always loved you with short hair! Congrats for having the courage to take that step.
LOVE the short hair. I chop mine after every baby too.
It's nice to have a change.
Holy COW, that was long!
So cute! I like it a lot. I am glad you don't have regrets. Thats always the hardest part for me when I get my hair cut.
i like it. (i'm trying to think of something clever and funny. no luck, its too late.)
I really like it. It is very cute. I saw your MOM's post before I read yours and thought you looked like you had cut your hair. I am in the same boat. My hair has been growing for over a year and now I am desperately trying to decide what to do with it when I go back to the states next month. I don't trust the hairdressers here. They do exactly what they want to do and not what you tell them. I will be 60 so I guess I am up to a change. Again, your cut is great.
