A cut above

...And I'm back. I spend all day in front of a computer, which has made it a little difficult for me to get too excited about sitting in front of a computer when I get home. Unless, of course, I'm sitting in front of the computer using it as a television replacement. But I have resolved to get back to my blogging pursuits.
Last weekend (as in the weekend before this past one, I know, I'm terrible) I went home to hang with my parents, do laundry, go shopping and, oh yeah, get my hair cut.

This is the shortest I've had my hair since...well, since it was growing out for the first time when I was little. I had been contemplating shorter hair for a while and especially as summer approached. Last summer when I was in D.C. the heat was brutal, and there was only so much I could do with my long hair. I knew that another summer like that with my long, thick hair would probably push me over the edge. It's still a big change though. I have to admit, I had a little Jo March moment for a second, but I really like my new haircut.

Now as the heat intensifies, it's infinitely better for me to have a shorter haircut. I made the right decision - even if I haven't yet figured out what exactly I can do with this length.
