You asked for it!

Bernie just took this picture for you a few minutes ago –
The New Hairdo

with Pearl and Dolly on the patio
I was squinting a bit with the sun in my eyes, and a stray strand of hair blew into my mouth, but at least you can see how much shorter it is.
The color differences are not quite this radical from light to dark as they appear in this photo, there was a bit of a shadow coming from over the left side of my face. But the ends are definitely auburn and the rest is definitely naturally frosted salt-and-pepper ash. (sounds better than plain old grey, huh?)

I told you it really was no big deal. It is a lot shorter and feels really different, but it just went from straight flat and long to straight flat and shorter, that’s all.
Oh, and BTW, in case you can’t tell, I really don’t like having my picture taken. I don’t photograph very well. This was the best of about 1/2 dozen shots Bernie took tonight.

Oh, it’s not *that* short!… But it looks good, will prolly save a lot of brushing too!..
Photo ain’t bad either (heh – Pom-poms to lure attention away from yourself?). And one thing that’s noticeable is a lot of weight loss. If I may say so.
As for what I know that you don’t know –
There’s a lot of homilies still in my head (and one day I might change the ZEN button into a REM button)… But it’s also my ‘creep’ laugh – I’ll post some of the songs that belong with it some day.
it looks great! you sure look a lot thinner than your profile pic! keep up the good work!

it looks great
your doggies are so cute!
Poor Bernie! (I can imagine the plaintive: “Just one more!”)
wow!! That looks really great! Is it a lot cooler? I had a couple inches cut off the bottom of my hair. Love it!
Woo Hoo To The New Do !!!! Looks great Joannie. Don’t worry about the picture issue, I don’t photograph well either — those of us that are easy on the eyes don’t ever photo well !! Plus you get to be cooler for summer !! And yes Joannie, it would seem I too am a Plant Whore – LOL
Lookin’ Good!
I like the shorter do – suits your face. The colour (silvery grey) looks good too! You look very fair so the lighter colour is very flattering.
Personally, I think grey / silver / white hair is beautiful!
*HUGS*
Love the hair! I miss having my hair highlighted, I almost bought the do it at home kit yesterday, but I chickened out. If I would have come out like a zebra, I wldn’t have been able to go to work today! lol.
Your hair looks great! So do the puppies
Have a great day.
LOOKS LIKE EVERYTHING IS GETTING RENOVATED HUH? HOUSE , YARD , YOU
AND YOU PHOTOGRAPH VERY WELL … STOP BEING SO SELF CONCIOUS !!!
NICE PUPPIES !!!
I love it! Yours is about the same length as mine now. However, the cut was more traumatic for the hairdresser than it was for me. The silver ash suits you well – and the dogs are sweet, too.
DON’T REGRET! No matter what you do in your life, as long as you think about it first, and it doesn’t hur someone else, NEVER regret it.
Very flattering and looks comfortable. When I cut my hair much shorter I felt my whole body lighten up! thanks for the kind words during my dilema
i like that hairstyle very much!
I think it looks grand:) Honestly…I love it when women are ok with their own grey in whatever shade it comes in. Looks so regal to me:)

The furballs look smaller when they are next to a person like that. Still cute, whatever size they are.
Your hair isn’t really what *I’d* call short, but it IS a big difference for you.You can tell you lost weight in that photo too. I like your color description, how amusing.
