My love for Mexican Food is so pure.

GC, I say when you are pregnant you can legitimatize any cravings, and should. This is the advantage to compensate for the tight shoes and other horrors.

I vote for whatever she likes best.

I concur. (With clarification: whatever she likes right now is what she should have.)

summer is SO not fun with in-between-length hobbit hair that's too short to pull back/up

I've begun warning Hubby that another hair cut is in the works. Even if it's pulled up, that just makes a thicker layer of hair on top of my head to trap the heat.

I've decided the best plan, especially here in the South, is to cut my hair short at the beginning of summer, and let it grow out until the next spring. Then it's fairly long in the winter when I want my neck warm.

For the longest time I wondered if there was something wrong with me, that Lewis didn't have any kind of hair preference for me. I've had it everywhere from an angled bob to middle of my back, with bangs, without bangs, dark brown to auburn to multiple highlights-- the most he ever said was when my hair was getting to the overprocessed point, he said it was looking kind of brassy and wasn't the most flattering color for me. Which he was absolutely right about; it was the closest to blonde I've ever gotten. Close enough to know that I should never, ever consider full blonde for myself.

But I'd say to him, Oh, I'm going to get my hair cut or colored or whatever and ask if he had an opinion and he'd always say, "Whatever makes you happy."

Which, of course, infuriated me. What did he like? The world I came from, the men always had an opinion on women's hair (usually long) and growing up, my mother had had iron-clad rules about my hair. No coloring, no cuts, nothing. So I had waist-length dark brown hair until I was 19, when I lopped off sixteen inches. (my mother didn't speak to me for two months. It was lovely.)

It took me forever to realize that he really honestly didn't have a preference. He tells me he thinks I'm beautiful regardless. Kind of mind-boggling, especially since I have so little sense of what kind of hair works best on me. But now I'm so used to his lack of opinion/preference, that it surprises me to hear men state their preferences for women's hair.

Paul has expressed only vague preferences for anything hair related. So it's all up to my whim.

Right now, I'm growing it long. It is cheaper for upkeep that way, and now that I'm hennaed rather than chemical red, I don't have the damage that made me get sick of it and cut it off. One trim a year keeps costs in check!

I'm growing mine long too. I'm too lazy to keep up with a short hair cut.

Yeah, this is me and Tom too.

I've been growing mine out too, but I may chop it really short soon so that I can see what color it is when it's not dyed.
