Almost cut my hair today.

I've been going back and forth on cutting my hair. I've had it long for a while. Not sure if it's just angst for change or if I really should just do it. So I took two pictures, one with my hair up and one down to let the good people of the internet decide. Keep it or cut it?

Note - I do love me some big earrings, hence the big black feathers you may be distracted by in these two pictures. You should see my collection of jewelry from Forever 21. It's kind of amazing.

It's a tough call. I personally love short hair, but you look great both ways. I'm told men prefer long hair, but that is not true with my man, so whatever. And, who cares anyway?

Here's both the cool thing AND the problem with short hair: you never know what it's going to do. Some days you look fantastic and some days you just can't make it work. So, my question for you is, are you in the mood for some uncertainty?

Sorry, stupid typos from Liberia!

MJ makes several good points. But because you aren't rail thin (ie like MJ) going short might make your face look bigger and/or soccer mom-esque, definitely not good!

I do think you need to thin it out and taking a couple inches off. Men kind of do prefer longer hair, but it needs to look light and airy in a 70's Farrah Fawcett way (for real) then heavy and limp.

Thus, something like a reverse bob could be quite dramatic (in a good way!) or you could simply get some layers cut into it and take a few inches off.

I'm now leaning to a bit longer than shoulder length just to make it healthy and so it wouldn't be so dramatic. Decisions.

You could go that route and then if it still isn't working for you, always go shorter then.

Keep it long. I think it suits you best. You could get it cut fancy, but only if you are really going to spend the time doing it--my dilemma of late. ;)

Playing house

I have no idea how I got here. I spent so much time dating and being single and going through boyfriends and now here I am -- in my late 30's, married and with a baby on the way. Sometimes it doesn't feel real, like I'm playing house. Last night my husband and I ordered nursery furniture from Pottery Barn. We made a list of things we still need to get from Amazon and discussed the credit cards with the best points to put it on for travel miles and cash back bonuses. We have 401k's and a savings account and talk about stock investments. You'd think, at almost 40, I would feel like a responsible adult and this would all feel normal right now. It does not. Any moment I wonder when I'm going to wake up. There were times I thought maybe I'll never get married. I wondered if I'd be able to have children -- or get the chance to even try. This baby, so far, seems so healthy and so far I've felt healthy throughout the pregnancy. I'm blessed with go

Don't Touch My Junk

I am appalled that so many in my generation are ready and willing to roll over and be sexually assaulted (and let their children be sexually assaulted), give up their rights to privacy and ignore their rights as stated in the 4th Amendment all in the name of supposed security at airports. This new TSA measure is outrageous and ineffective. I did not always feel this way. Like so many others, I didn't see the big deal. However, on more careful examination of the 4th Amendment as well as the many, many assaults that have already taken place, and along with an understanding of the measures we really should be taking to ensure our safety, I have changed my mind. This video is of a man who recorded his experience going through TSA. He asked the TSA agent not to "touch his junk". That's when the TSA agent put him on the no fly list and asked him to step out of line. After questioning he then tried to leave the airport but was told he had to go through the entire procedu
