Decisions, Decisions


I need help deciding what to do. I'm considering a new hair cut. My husband really wants me to do it and my mom says "No, NO, NNNNNNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOO!" I have added a few pictures of the cut I'm considering.

I'm guessing some of you will be thinking, "Oh my, that is the ugliest hair cut I've ever seen." and some others might be thinking, "Very trendy and fashion forward!" I'm in the middle on this one.

Originally I showed my husband the first picture cause I thought it was kind of cool but wasn't really sure if I actually liked it. He immediately told me he thought it was cool and I should get it. Then he mentioned it later that day again. Then we discussed it that night and I decided I would do it. I even talked to my hair dresser at church that week and told her about my plans. She was also excited and said she was hoping it would make her brave enough to do it herself.

Now I'm chickening out. I'll give you a list of my pros and cons on getting this cut. First the pros.
  • My husband wants me to.
  • It's trendy right now.
  • I've always wanted to shave my head and this would at least mean shaving part of it.
  • Whenever I try "out there" looks they tend to look normal on me. This would push the limits.
  • I'm getting older and only have so much time left that I can get away with this.
  • Hair grows back.

Now for the cons.

  • I die my hair red and my roots come in sort of grey. It may not look quite as cool with grey roots.
  • I wear glasses. I don't know how the arm will look over the shaved bit.
  • I'm getting older and maybe I'm already past the time when I can get away with this look.
  • Even though hair grows back mine grows VERY slowly. It would take a LONG time to change it back.

So, I really do need help making this decision. I don't want to look like I'm trying to hard to be young and hip but I do think it could be quite fun. I would appreciate some honest help making this decision. It really is Okay for you to say that you think it would look terrible and equally okay if you think it would be good to try.

Thanks in advance for helping me out with this. So far I have one vote for yes (the husband) and one vote for NNNNNOOOOOOOOO (the mom). What's your vote?

Anna Karenina By Leo Tolstoy - A Book Review

When the movie Anna Karenina came out a while back I had a mild desire to see it.  However, when movies come out that are taken from novels, especially classic novels, I will usually read the book first. It sort of slipped my mind for quite a while though until I found it as a free book for my Ereader. Quite a few years ago I remember this book was one on Oprah's Book Club.  One of the first things I found myself questioning was whether or not she ever even read anything more than liner notes or coles' notes at best.  This is a long book....I mean really long.  This is coming from someone that has read the Game of Thones series (A Song of Ice and Fire).  What make this book seem so long is all the superfluous information you encounter at every turn.  I seem to recall that it was more than 10 chapters before Anna was even introduced.  Though the side story is pertinent and somewhat interesting, it can often overshadow the main storyline. What also m...

How Much Is That A Baby In The Womb

There is a petition making its way around stating Tell Harper: Hands off our reproductive rights.   This is because on the 26 th of April (today) Stephen Harper is apparently going to allow Conservative MP Stephen Woodworth to put forward a motion in the House of Commons which clearly opens the possibility of re-criminalizing abortion.   I have read this motion, Motion 312 and it is one asking that a committee of the House be appointed and directed to review the declaration in Subsection 223(1) of the Criminal Code of Canada which states that a child becomes a human being only at the moment of complete birth.   This committee would be asked to submit their findings after 10 months on what medical evidence exists to demonstrate that a child is or is not a human being before the moment of complete birth. I suppose the concern of allowing this motion to move forward is the fear of what the findings would mean.   IF they find there is evidence that a child is a hu...

Money, the Root of All Evil?

I'm thinking in a few directions this morning and having trouble deciding what one to talk about. One can be a bit of a sticky subject but some of my thinking was slightly altered about this last night. I think I'm going to talk about money, dun, dun, dun! Money is one of those conversations that tends to be avoided but avoiding something doesn't make the problem go away. Thankfully Randall and I have a similar approach to money, we are both sort of cheep. If I'm going to buy anything I'm going to try and make sure it's the least expensive way I can get it. Randall tends to be the same way. This is helpful for our marriage since 2 people with very different spending styles can have a lot of conflict. I'm not saying we don't have problems at all, we definitely do, just not really with our spending. Part of our spending style I think might have a fair bit to do with necessity although even when we were both working and didn't have kids ...
