Well... I have an appointment this afternoon to get my hair cut. The problem is, I'm still waffling. I don't know if I want to just have it cut a bit shorter or if I'm going to take the monumental leap of faith and do the Jamie Lee Curtis thing.
My mind keeps wandering to years ago, when I had a miscommunication with a hairdresser and instead of a trim, she cut it short. I mean short! I left sobbing, "I look like a boy!"
But something has shifted in my mentality and I no longer am worried about what others think I look like. Okay; to a point. I kind of wouldn't mind having such short hair that I could take off my riding helmet and just spike it back up. I wouldn't have to worry about getting into the infrared sauna and having to wash my hair all over again. It definitely has its advantages.
On the other hand, I'd end up going from medium (since I had it cut from long last month), reddish-brown hair to very short, suddenly gray hair. And that might be a wee bit of a shock to the system.
So, I won't know until I sit at my hairdresser Daphne's mirror at 2:00 this afternoon. I'll bounce it off her and we'll see what happens!
Stay tuned.

Silver Foxes
When I was looking for a new car, a few years ago, I noticed on the road, every single car of the brand I was researching.
Now I'm singling out all the gray women. There are many more than I had thought. And they aren't all elderly, with tight curls adorning their heads. They are all ages. In fact, some of the younger girls are even dying their hair an extreme platinum, that honestly looks gray or white. Go figure.
But I've been seeing some gorgous women in their 40's and 50's with short, salt and pepper and long, lustrous, multi-shaded gray locks.
I've been talking to some of them and it's amazing how many wish to discuss the gray issue. Many never did dye their hair-- others, as I, suddenly realized that they were being sucked into a lifestyle not of their choosing.
I was conversing with one, 65 year-old woman in the mall yesterday, about why it is that we've always accepted gray hair on men, but not women. "Right," she said. "And have you ever noticed that women go gray but men are silver?"
Hmmm....
