A Poll: Should I Cut My Hair?

And I mean REALLY cut. As you can see from my new profile pic, it's pretty long now and it's sooooo thick that I feel like my head weighs about as much as a bowling ball.

I was thinking of doing the Locks of Love program since one of my girlfriends did it. See here: http://www.locksoflove.org/donate_hair.php

It's certainly for a good cause. And it would make it less..."traumatic" for me to part with the hair knowing that the hair is being put to use and not just trashed. I measured my hair in a ponytail and when I straighten it, it comes out to the 10" minimum requirement. Hmm....

Okay - done with the shallowness.

Next weekend brings the HFStival concert on BOTH Saturday & Sunday! See here: http://www.hfstival.com/lineup/ I think I'm more excited about the Sunday line-up. Thank God Memorial Day is the next day - and I'm off from work- WHOOHOO!! Bring it on...

You might...know of...the original sin...

Yeah "Original Sin" was one of the the first songs I heard from INXS back in the day. Well they were in DC on May 2nd and what started off as a normal concert experience turned into a surreal evening! I got to meet three of the guys from the band (no not Jon or Tim Farriss, nor JD the new singer). But I met Kirk, Gary and Andrew. In fact, my girlfriends & I spent most of our time chatting with Andrew - and it was so cool for many reasons: #1 because he's the main songwriter of the group; #2 he's usually the most private one; #3 he told us some Michael Hutchence stories. Anyway, it was a great experience and one I will remember for a long time....So I'm finally planning the summer vacation. We'll be doing the Usual - which involves Texas and Arkansas - during the 4th of July week. I can't wait to see mi familia! It's getting harder & harder to be apart from them. I think one day I will just pack my bags and move back to Texas. The only thing that I'm worried about is leaving the girls for that long. We'll be gone for almost 12 days - which is the longest I've been apart from them. Sure, we have a good pet-sitter. But they will wonder where we are and the little one will probably think I've abandoned her! (She's my shadow -basically follows me everywhere). I know I'm silly to be fretting this much over a couple of cats, but seriously, these are my GIRLS and so much more than just mere pets. Geez, if I am like this with my pets, how the hell am I going to be when it's my KIDS? I will have to rely on my girlfriends who are already mommies for some words of wisdom...
