My new 'do'

For months, I've been contemplating cutting my long hair, and this afternoon on a whim, called my daughter's stylist to see if she had an opening today, and she did. I thought that I'd better hurry and go get it cut before I changed my mind. So I had three hours to flake out or come up with an idea. I stopped by Walgreen's magazine rack to look through the In Style, People, Hot Hair Trends, etc., looking for just the right celebrity to attempt to mimic. I saw Katie Holmes last night on TV and her haircut looked cute. Diane Keaton's did too, but heck, she's 62 years old. I called Paige and asked for her advice. She said to go short. I called Valerie and she agreed, and actually specifically referred to Katie's do. Then I called Julie and she said to go long, and have long flowing bangs on the sides and cut the layers a bit more, taking about an inch off the length. She thought my face might be too chubby (my words, not hers) to pull off the shorter look. Minutes before stepping into Lisa's salon, (Paige goes there too, by the way), I called Valerie again, and Valerie said to go for it. Don't be so conservative. So, this look is obviously the one I decided on, and I think I like it, for a change. The cost was half as much as my stylist who normally cuts it.
