Don't Cut Your Hair Unless You Know For Certain You Are Not Getting Married A Year Later

Top 5 reasons for drastic hair cuts:

1. To be fashion forward like Rihanna;
2. Following break ups;
3. More efficiency in getting ready in the mornings;
4. Summer heat;
5. TBD

So back in March 2010, I decided to cut my hair really really short - kinda like a boy's haircut. I'm not really attached to my hair and have always been pretty comfortable growing it out long, then cutting it, and then cutting it some more. But the shortest it had ever been prior to the boy-cut was a short, above-the shoulder bob. So at the time I was thinking about going all out with the boy-cut, it was growing out from the latest bob-cut (prior to the bob cut it was just long and straight and long). At the time just prior to the boy-cut, it was pretty much at that annoying, ugly stage where the hair is just below the shoulder and had no shape or purpose being the way it was. So I thought - "off with the hair!" Quite liberating actually for the reasons listed above (except No.2).

Fast foward a few months and I'm hoping my hair will be long enough to be pretty for the wedding. No regrets for the short cut but it's a bit limiting for wedding purposes. For instance, a lot of veils are held in place with a comb. The veils I tried on simply slid down, and off, my short hair since I didn't have anything to hold it in place... not even enough hair for a little ponytail :( Of course, there are options for short hair. But honestly, the options seem pretty limited. My hair is just a little bit unacceptable right about now.

Yay! More Things Accomplished...

So here I am nearly four months into our engagement and it's now safe to say... mission accomplished!!! Just kidding, not quite yet. But we have managed to complete most of the big ticket items:

1. ceremony site and officiant (yay!),
2. reception venue (yippeeee!),
3. day-of-coordinator :),
4. caterer (yummy!),
5. florist (yay!),
6. makeup artist (yay!), and
7. of course the wedding dress (and bridesmaid dresses).

I love having things to do, especially if wedding-related. Also, I confirmed with my now-married-friends who previously planned their own weddings - much of the planning/preparation occurs during work hours. Thanks for the validation!

Anyway, my new plan for staying in the wedding business long after I'm married off... I'm going to be a calligrapher! Great idea yeah?

Okay, back to my real job :(

P Has A New Game....

Example of game being played:

M: I'm tired.

P: Me too.

M: I think I'm going to take a nap.

This is where the game starts....

P: Me too. (P start to snicker)

M: What the hell is wrong with you?

P: (continues to giggle) Nothing...

M: Ok....

P: I order you to take a nap (starts laughing)

M: Huh?

P: I order (giggle) you to ... lay down

M: What? Are you okay? I'm trying to take a nap.

P: (starts laughing out loud) I order you to close your eyes (begins to laugh hysterically)... I order you to breathe. I order you to wake up after your nap....


I want to know, do future husbands come with an "off" button?
