Relationships, we all know, take work. A LOT of work. More than that, they take time, effort, trust, risk...the list goes on. I have spent much of the past three months wondering, much to my chagrin, what it was Kelly and I were doing those three years. I had an idea and he had an idea, only they did not so much culminate in the same brightly burning light bulb. I was trying it on for size, eventually hoping to buy it. He was trying it on for.......fun, eventually hoping to put it back on the shelf with as few wrinkles as possible. I can talk in metaphors all day long I've decided.
The best one, though, came to me tonight. I was on the phone with a friend and it hit me. My relationship, after some time, was much like being served Diet Coke after respectfully ordering the Real Thing. In drinking it you realize it tastes funny, a little weird and not like Coke, but you keep drinking it anyway, too afraid to send it back. I mean, it looks like Coke. You ordered Coke. Surely, it's Coke.

Little Ms. Sass-a-frass
This girl is pent up. I can't even begin to explain, but, essentially, I need to come into my own more, get out more, and go out more! It's all a bit irritating. That's not, though, the entire reason for my blog's title this time. While I am myself a bit sassy lately, I am more so referring to my new haircut.
I've had this appointment scheduled for about eight weeks; I'm one of the lucky ones that can go two months before the growth becomes unmanageable. Anyway, as the day drew closer, I was getting more contemplative about which style I would choose. I love long hair and haven't had it that way for about three years. My stylist, Camilla, did such an excellent job with the cut last time that I was leaning very closely to keeping the length and just having her trim the initial cut. As I drove to the appointment, though, I flirted more and more with the thought of a short style. All face shapes have a cut that best compliments them. Though I'm not entirely sure what mine is, I have always been of the belief that really short styles would look horrible on me, so I definitely wanted to make sure I avoided that! I've only ever really gone as short as my shoulder blades before, but, today, that just didn't seem short enough. I needed more of a change, more of a definitive look.
I arrived at DV8 Salon and waited for Camilla to wrap up her previous client. This was good as it gave me more time to solidify my choice of cut. I sit in her chair and rattle off the same speil: how I love long hair, that I want a change but nothing drastic...blah, blah, blah. She asked me if I was willing to cut it much shorter then talked me through a style she thought would look great on me. Her description sounded great and very doable for me as a daily hairstyle. After having flirted with the thought for a while and feeling rather feisty from my desire to make a change, I told her to do it! An hour later, I had nearly four inches on the floor and a hair length that sits just at my neck line (right above my collarbone). I am very pleased with it and am proud of myself for going short - well, shorter! She texturized it very well and left lots of layers in it. She also polished and lengthend the side-swept bang from my intial cut. As she put it, "it's so sassy!"
Ah..I'm feeling a little less pent up already. Here's to pulling off my sassy ass! :)
